PRAISES AND PRAYER REQUESTS

Saturday was such an awesome day----David and I

were awakened around 5:30 am by a call from Pam that Keri thought this

might be Baby Clay's birthday. We were so excited!! The first baby on our side

since Jacob--10 years ago. After a great labor---hard contractions and no pain

meds--Keri is so tough--Clay was delivered by csection at 3:46pm.

Special thanks to Dr. Stubley, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Tim, Laura Copeland

and Susan Kirkland for all your help with Clay!!

They are at home now and doing well.....

Monday my daddy had surgery to place seed implants for his

prostate cancer.Thanks to Dr. Grayson and Dr. Saunders. He did well and

was home eating chili from

Wendy's for lunch!!

Jason's mama Sharon is doing well from her thyroid cancer surgery.

Monday night we ate at Maw Maw's for Josh's 19 birthday----how can it be????

All my boys plus Josh's roomate Roy were there-----& Kim, Kenny and Danie

thanks Maw and Kenneth for cooking such a yummy supper!!

God is so awesome-----thank you God for all the blessings that you give

us.

David and I ask that you continue to pray for us as we ask God to show us HIS will for

our lives. Decisions about the future----a house to live in here and where

does God want us to go from here?? We have been asked about a mission

trip in Feb-March and are praying about that.

God is good and HE will step 2 in HIS time......

Also pray for the needy people in our community.....

Thanksgiving and Christmas are such hard times in a normal

year---this year will be even worse with the economy so

bad. I am excited about the opportunity to serve at the

Thanksgiving dinner at THS on thanksgiving day from 12-2.

Join us there.........

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW??

David and I have heard this question a lot since

we signed the contract on the house.....and

it has only been a week. What we would like to do

is irrelevant since we believe that God has

a plan for us to minister to people around the world.

Yes we will have a house here but .........it will be simple!

We want to be able to drop everything and follow Jesus wherever he leads us.

I cannot wait to see HIS plan for our lives unfold.

Dan's sermon was for me this morning. I needed to hear that.

The connect journal and the sermons the last months have been so

timely for our family and the events around us. We are soo blessed to have such an

awesome church, staff and messenger of God.

The weather is gorgeous---fall is my favorite!!

Please continue to pray for my daddy, Billy Price,

and Jason Smith's mama, Sharon Smith...as they deal with cancer.

David learned in Sunday School today that Blake Woodward

has been visiting Timmy Weaver---how awesome is that!!!

A United House
To my beloved Sisters who I esteem so highly and consistently find to be part of the solution to our problems in the Church rather than the cause,Please join me in praying for our President-elect Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, and his precious daughters, Sasha and Malia. Go with me before the Throne of our sovereign God and ask Him to grant wisdom from above to President-elect Obama and the indwelling presence and power of Jesus Christ. In the words of the Apostle Paul, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior..."Please also join me in the active and deliberate pursuit of unity and purity in the Body of Christ at this historical time in our country. I implore you in Jesus Name to have zero tolerance for prejudice whether it is regarding party-affiliation, color (whether you are Black, White, or Brown), economics or the like. Disagreement is not sin. Prejudice is. Satan has plotted events and planted attitudes that, should he be successful, will result in havoc. We must not stand for his schemes or cooperate in a single way. We would severely displease God and invite untold chastisement upon Christ's Church in our nation. Speak clearly to your children and graciously but emphatically draw a line in your work places and social circles regarding your stand against prejudice of any kind."Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.'" (Matthew 12:25) A united house stands. A divided house falls. The devil has much to gain. But he also has much to lose.We are the Body of Jesus Christ and we have an opportunity to show His character. This is our watch. We stand for what is right not from our feet but from our knees.I humble myself before you and make these pleas under such bold direction of God that I could not resist it nor disobey it. He made it a fire in my bones.I love and esteem you so much. Shoulder to shoulder, Dear Siestas. Let's leave not one inch for the enemy to come between us."Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve Him shoulder to shoulder." Zephaniah 3:9

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

We are singing God's praises at the Cone House!!

After a year and 10 months of praying and seeking God's will for our lives--

we have a contract on our house----HALLELUJAH!!

Now we are on to step 2--

we have been asked what do you do now....

we don't know that answer but GOD does.

So we are praying for him to show us what step

number 2 is. David and I told God WHATEVER

in January and meant it---so we are open to anything

that he send our way. We truly mean that with all our

heart.

In our Connect journal all last week and again today

we are challenged to be followers of Jesus. We are commanded

to tell others about Jesus and that means anytime anywhere to anybody.

We are praying for the Timmy Weaver and Matt Allen this morning---

God please heal these young men for your kingdom.

As I ponder our busy week at the Cone house I was reminded by

a friend this morning that nobody is busier than anybody else.

So I promise not to whine we I say that I am working 36 hours this week--

Thomas starts swim team at THS, Ben leaves tomorrow for a

week of Science Academy in Orlando and Jacob has piano

and scouts today!! We are all happy and healthy

and the boys are excited to see their prayer about

the house answered. Matt, and Josh went to the

game in Jax but had fun despite the outcome.

David and I spent Thursday-Saturday in Jax with Carmen

and Steve relaxing, shopping and yes the guys played golf....

I also talked with Martha Hanna about their awesome trip to Guatemala.

I cannot wait to see what Jesus has in store for all of us on the mission field.

Our NIC mission trip team is meeting Tuesday night for supper---I cannot wait

to see everybody!!

Thanks for your prayers and continue to pray for where God is going to

lead us.
