My friend Becky is basically being attacked from all sides. 2 weeks ago, her daughter decided to move in with her dad (Becky's ex husband) and said a lot of hurtful and untrue things to/about her. Her husband lost his job. A person from a car accident 2 years ago has decided to sue for "pain and suffering", so that's a hassle. AND...her husband got a call today that his daughter (Becky's step daughter) has lymphoma. They are just not entirely sure how much more they can take. All prayers would be greatly appreciated!
Praying for this family.

Please pray for me, I went to the Dr. today and he said I have both the flu and pneumonia, back to the Dr. Tomorrow for more injections, I had two today then back again Friday for more x ray's to see if the pneumonia is better, if not I will be put in the hospital. It's hard to follow the program with this going on.
I pray you have a speedy recovery!
This sounds silly, but I've always had issues with my weight. I've dieted had an eating disorder been diagnosed with depression etc. and I thought this plan would be great for me! I keep messing up and every time I do it feels like I've already lost and/or failed. Pray for me to have strength to succeed!!
You are not alone. So long as we learn from our mistakes they are worth making. There is no failure, only feedback. You get feedback about what does not work so you know not to do that again or to try something different next time. It takes time to learn this program because you are getting a real education in nutrition. Be patient with yourself and keep doing the "right" thing more often than you do the "wrong" thing. So long as you are making progress, however small, you are closer to your goal than you will be if you choose to stop doing the program due to fear of failure. You are worth the time, effort, and dedication it takes to live this lifestyle. Please do not give up on yourself and your success.
Thank you all for the kind words! I need this kind of support if I am going to be truly successful and you all have been wonderful! I'm blessed to have such kind people looking out for me.
Don't call it "silly". Who we perceive ourselves to be is what we will become. I too suffer from depression. What is so great about Shibboleth is the fact it is forgiving, just like our heavenly Father. We mess up, we say, "I'm sorry" and turn from our mistakes and with God's help seek to do better the next day. Don't judge what is in the past. Leave it there. Everyday is a new slate. Write on it. If you are a self-sabotager (like I have been) then maybe call for a MayDay and ask for help. Travis and his team are truly concerned for each of us. They want to see us succeed. I have almost 150 pounds to lose one bite at a time. Remove temptations from the house, look at your triggers, evaluate what you could do differently to help you alone. I can't be close to the kitchen at night. I have had to declare more days holidays at about 11 PM at night. You can do this. We are praying for you.
Thank you for the support!!

Would you please say a prayer for me. My feet are in such bad shape. I do good to work both jobs on my feet. By the time I get home. I can barely walk. I was walking on the treadmill every day I had gotten to where I could walk for up to 45 mins. It's been 6 days since I've walked. I could really use some prayers to help.

Please pray for Brenda Jones. She is my friend and my pastor Brian Jones mother. She is in the hospital after having a stroke yesterday. They will be running tests this morning but believe there is a blood clot in her brain. She is having slurred speech and weakness in left arm. This woman is salt of the earth and one of God's precious saints. She is always helping others with a smile on her face. Some of you may know that The Pointe church lost its meeting space at the end of January. We've been meeting on Sunday evenings at Holly Springs Baptist and are hopeful to move to the Boys&Girls clubs on Univetter road by Easter. All of us know how the devil will attack those who worship and praise Jesus and figured he would attack and distract hoping to dissolve this ministry during our time of transition. Please pray for pastor Brian Jones as he is at his mothers side during this critical time. Lifting them all up for God's perfect healing, supernatural strength and unending peace. Thank you my Shibboleth sisters and brothers.

Food is a stronghold on me. It's like a rebellious tendency. Please pray that God would break the stronge hold for the need of food as a way for my flesh to rebell. It has been a battle my whole life. Not the weight gain part, but the unhealthy weakness that food tempts me with. One bite is never enough!
I can wholeheartly relate to the stronghold and rebellion. May days I will eat unhealthy just to be able to call it a holiday and eat like my flesh wants to. But there comes a reckoning time. Listen as God speaks. He knocks at your hearts door to give strength to overcome. I firmly believe that strength acts out first in the mind, then the flesh. Have a mind set that you are going to please God with your eating patterns and the flesh will be defeated. Sugar from carbs and processed food is the strong hold. Cut it completely out of your life. You will have so much power revealed to you if you do this. I'm praying for you.
