Thanks bro. Me, my wife, my mom and dad, 3 uncles, two aunts and my cousin and his girlfriend are all waiting. Grandma is stable for now. But... it's still really serious...

I just found out two minutes ago that my grandma went to be with the Lord at 3:33am this morning. I'm so so glad that I didn't make an excuse out of the 5 hour trip/wait to see my grandma alive one last time.
I'm somewhere between happy she's with Jesus, to tore the fuck up she died, to worried if my mom's ok to enjoying the happy memories with grandma to afraid that there may be fights over her money to still being in shock about her actually being gone.
No doubt I'll be captain water works at the funeral. We all will be. I don't know if I'll be pretty quiet regarding online activity or not... but if you don't hear much from me for a little while - you can probably assume why.
Thank you for your prayers guys.

We are here for support in your difficult time. Will pray for you and your family and I hope there is minimal drama. Families should stick together during grief.
"Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." (John 14:19-20 ESV).

I know words offer little comfort during times of loss, so just want to offer my condolences and prayers that the Lord gives you and your family peace. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks guys. I just got back from the funeral/burial a few hours ago. My mom (it was her mom that died) surprising held it together very well, but I think she was trying to be the rock considering how upset my uncle (her youngest brother) was. THAT was the tear jerker. He was in pieces.
She's now buried at the church she went to for over 50 years - which has its own cemetery for Church members. She's now next to my grandpa. Her church is a very small primitive Baptist church out in the middle of nowhere. The pastor is very spry for 95 years old and still preaching every Sunday.
That church is one of very few places I've ever been where it feels overwhelmingly spiritual there. Like... very holy. Very pure. Its so quiet there.
Haggia Chapter 2. That was out on a table on this ancient looking Bible at the funeral home. I asked my mom what the significance to this chapter was and she said "That's where grandma left off reading in her Bible before she passed away."
So much for only reading the good parts. Grandma read it all. Over and over again. Every day.
I want to be like that...
Mom's keeping that Bible. I get the HUMONGOUS Bible (that they don't make anymore) that she had in her kitchen...

Hey all, I would really appreciate some prayer. Since Veronika arrived a couple weeks ago, things have been pretty bumpy for us. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I think there are a few different factors that are playing into it. Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear that bro. I'll be praying. Please don't take this as me nagging but, but how you guys handle the bumps is an excellent test to the relationship foundation. Its actually good to have friction to smooth out - it CAN build the strength between you guys.
Not trying to pry, and you certainly don't have to give details... ...but if you're really not sure what's causing the bumps, I'd try to find out as quick as you can what's causing them...

Thanks Thomas. I agree: some friction is good. If it were all easy, what'd be the point? I think I have a decent idea of why things have been rough, but not the actual source. I'll email you later about it so I don't broadcast it here. But regardless, I'd definitely appreciate the prayer.

Thanks guys! We talked things out last night and everything's much better. There is still some stuff we'll need to figure out, but overall I think things are pretty resolved.

A good friend of mine from college posted today on Facebook that his younger brother was in a car accident and is currently fighting for his life. It sounds extremely serious and that there's a very strong possibility he won't pull through. Please keep him and their family in your prayers. Thank you friends!

Thank you. If the antibiotics don't knock it out by Friday, she'll have to be admitted into the hospital.

Hi all: mild (but significant to me) depression and self-hatred, as well as severe lust, have been plaguing me of late (i.e., months), the result being an unyielding malaise punctuated by frequent and intense failure. I've been recently and signficiantly losing hope because I don't see any positive change in my life: only continual declivity. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

I know how you're feeling, warbound. Praying for you.
Something to keep in mind is that just because we see only "continual declivity" doesn't mean it's an inevitability. God is with us.

Guys, thank you so much for your prayers. They mean a lot to me. I also appreciate your encouragement and insight: I totally agree -- I just hope I continue to believe that (...obviously I should because that's how truth works.).

Thank you so much, brother. I recently realized that I don't have folks close to me that I feel like I can reach out to for prayer, especially the more immediate prayer requests. My texts would have to be like "Bro, I hope you've been well the past five months we haven't talked. Anyways, please pray for [X]." I really really appreciate the prayers of people checking out this thread. Thank you!

Pray for my family.
Something needs to change. Well, it's a few things, really, but I don't really like talking about my personal life too much.
Unfortunately, nobody who needs to change seems willing to do so. I can honestly say it will take nothing short of God's direct intervention.
