Hi Sharon,

We will certainly pray for you and Tawney;- we hope that her medication problem has been resolved.



We will pray especially in this time of uncertainty, that times of refreshing will come to you and that you will know a sense of belonging.



Always remember;- all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpos..



Keep smiling and keep looking up.



Big blessings,



David and Rachel Prince.

Subject: Please Pray for Tawney and Me



Hi all!



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

a lot!  Tonight she doesn't have the medication she needs, so that's one 

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!
