Subject: Please Pray for Tawney and Me
> Hi all!

> I've been talking on the phone with my friend Tawney. she sure goes
through

> thing to pray about.
>
> Another thing is that she shared more about herself with me, and I
mentioned
> Phil's ministry, and introduced her to the way we pray in our sessions. I
> hope things happen right away! One thing I learned out of this is that
God
> can use me even when I think I'm not ready or can't handle the process. I
> thought that if I prayed with Tawney right then over the phone, something
> might happen that I couldn't, or didn't know how, to handle. Yes, there
is
> training material for this ministry, and I think it would be a good idea
to
> walk through it, but you know what? God doesn't need training! Tawney
> asked me when I would do it, and if I wanted to do it now. She said yes
> when I asked her if she wanted me to, so I did, and she prayed too. It
> wasn't like the pattern of, I pray for God's revelations, then we wait,
but
> oh well, I don't think God likes it when we rely too much on formulas. So
> now let's see what God will do!
>
> A third thing for which I would like prayer is this: For a long time I've
> been wanting to live with a certain couple. for reference, I'll call them
> the Browns. when I first wanted to move out of an Assisted Living
situation
> into a Personal Care Service, now called a Certified Family Home, Judy, my
> sister, and I, met the Browns. I spent part of the weekend with them and
> wanted to live with them, but they decided that they couldn't give me the
> attention I deserved, because they had a niece and nephew, who were
troubled
> teens, in their home. then, about a year and a half later, I had to move
> because the people I was living with were no longer available. I called
the
> Browns again. the man said that maybe they could take me 5 years down the
> road; the children were still living with them. So I moved elsewhere.
> About 2 years later, after struggling with conflicts, I moved again, to
the
> home where I'm living now. I miss the traveling, the camping in the
camper,
> sitting in the hot tub, 4-wheeling and other vehicular excursions in the
> desert, and going to community activities. this is part of the
description
> of where I lived before coming to this home, where we rarely go out, by
> comparison. We were trying to make it so that Tawney could come live with
> us, or at least Blanca's daughter-in-law, but last night I told her that I
> might move out if I can't go out into the community more with Blanca or
> Jose. I know that I need to learn to be assertive and ask, which I do
> sometimes if I need to go to a store. so Tawney plans to look elsewhere
for
> a home. I will look too, and see if the Browns can prepare themselves for
> next year, if they still want to do that type of health care work. I'll
> make it a point to she if someone will take both Tawney and me, because we
> want to live in the same house. I don't know. maybe I'm expecting too
much
> of this type of care. If god wants me to be content to stay here, please
> pray that He'll help me accept it. At least we go on outings at Daybreak,
> and Judy and I try to get together once a week, and of course some of my
> birth family goe on trips every once in awhile, so I know I should be
> grateful. If the place where I want to move to does not have room for my
> music studio, I won't go there, so please pray that, if it's okay for me
to
> move, that He'll see to it that I have room for it, and, if possible, that
> Tawney can move in with me. Thanks! I don't want to sound like an "I
want,
> I want," character, but I would really appreciate your prayers. May God
> give you all a good night's sleep, and reveal to you that there are
> infinitely better days ahead for us!
