A Prayer Request

I don't have the energy to post much, but wanted to ask you wonderful praying ladies to pray for my father.

He is waiting on a liver transplant. He's very sick, and they're keeping him in the hospital out of state that does the transplants instead of sending him home with a pager. I'm here with him and my stepmom until I run out of vacation time. Or something.

Can you just please pray for him? And me- my grandmother is also sick and it's hard not being able to be with both of them.

I'm still exercising, but the eating is off the hook. I just can't deal right now. I'm up to mid to high 180s and that makes me want to cry. But I am still exercising.

Oh, Paige, I am so, so sorry to hear of your father's illness. I immediatly pictured in my mind my own dad and what I would be feeling if I were you...devestated, tortured with waiting, wanting to know the outcome and yet dreading it at the same time, hopeful that God would answer my prayers, fearful that he would choose to answer them in a way I did not wish...

Of course I will pray, right now, right here.

Lord, I lift up Paige to you tonight. I ask that you would be with her troubled heart, that you would be with her father, even in his weakest hour, that you would answer his need and heal his body. I pray also for her grandmother. Send your comforter to be with her as well and give Paige peace that you are in control. In Jesus's name, Amen.

Love you, girl. Don't beat yourself up about the weight, but try to love Paige as much as you love those around you.

Paige, I wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you and praying for your dad, and your whole family.

I also prayed that you would seek Him as your comfort, (instead of food that isn't going to meet that real deep down need, and adds disappointment on top of it) so that you'll find satisfaction in your heart.

I trust that you can not only get thru this, but do it in a way that is productive and loving to yourself.

Please give us an update when you can.

Paige,
I am so sorry to hear about your father and the stress and worry you are under. I will keep you and your family in prayer. Don't worry so much about trying to focus on losing weight right now. When my mother had her stroke and I was with her in the hospital and recovery for 3 months I gained a little but I was able to get back on track once the stress wasn't as bad. My the good Lord give you peace in the midst of your personal storm.
Smiles,
Kimiko
