24 hours left for prayer requests

So a few days ago, I talked about starting up a prayer thingy on Mondays, except I also wanted to open it up to everyone else to jump in with their concerns or bits of thank-yous. That offer still stands. I am poised and ready to pray big, people. Tomorrow evening, 9:00pm AEST.

Just as a taster, here are some that have already made it on my list:

Victims and helpers of the shooting at Newtoun
A personal celebration! (Except I’m waiting for the parents to officially say something first before I jump up and down with excitement publicly.)
Families travelling interstate and overseas during this time of reunion and/or church camps.
Families not killing each other after spending a week in each other’s company at said reunion.
Families separated by distance, by anger, by pride, by misunderstandings, by old family feuds, by unforgiveness, by cowardice… or any other barrier you know or can think of.

Got any other suggestions? Hit me.

I come from a much smaller island-city-state-country called Singapore. I’ve been setting down roots in Australia since 2003. I love both countries immensely. In 1986, I became a writer. In 2002, a blogger. In 2004, a wife. In 2011, a mother. Somewhere in amongst all that, I did event and conference management, public relations, marketing, and online communications for over a decade. I’m currently a freelance web manager for a modern dance school, a part-time Communications and Marketing Manager, a part-time writer, and a part-time stay-at-home mother. I don’t sleep much.

I write about being a Chinese Singaporean and choosing to live in Canberra. I write about being a Christian, a mother, a wife, a woman. I write about discovering joy - in the everyday, in the grand scheme of things, in the sun and in the storm.

For those who have family members who are suffering illnesses.

I personally have two friends who are struggling this holiday season because of family members who are ill.

Thanks for your willingness to pray for others. May God bless you for your faithfulness!

  Hmmm… looks like the clock on my countdown timer is an hour off. Anyhoo – just wanted to let you know that I’ve prayed for the sick, for you, and for your friend’s family members who are battling illnesses at this time.

Thanks, Shelly! Good one, and definitely added to the list. I know a few struggling with health, too. Not fun during a fun season.
