Hey friends!
I have been so encouraged by all of the answered prayers over the past week. I’ve gotten some emails and read many responses left in the comments on my Power of a Praying Friend post. It’s been such a sweet thing to read the prayers and the praises.
I thought it would be fun throughout this weekend to each take time to give an update on what has happened in our lives that ties in with our prayer request.
My praise is that I got ALL of my radio shows written on time last week, and my recording of them went so well this week. We also just got back from the bank and finalized all of our dossier and got a gazillion documents notarized and we mail it TOMORROW! It has been such a long process but I have to tell you that your prayers and the accountability of asking for prayers has helped us stay focused on being faithful to get it done. WOW – we are so excited and so relieved to have it all done.
Okay, so now it’syour turn. Please share what is going on with you!

Hello Renee Swope. Enjoyed your blog. it seems you love the “Old Testament”. For me, it is not old at all, very relevant for our times. I’d like to send you a book for your reading and would love your feed back. Please tell me where I can send it to. Just email me at [email protected]

My praise would be that I have cleaned up the house somehow everyday. Not where I want it to be, but getting closer each & every day. I'm getting more organized and even preparing the night before for things.
Thanks for this opportunity to pray for each other and praise Him together.
My prayer request related to my mission trip that I took to Guatemala. I was extremely anxious about it because I had NEVER left the U.S. and I was not feeling well for 3 weeks prior to the trip (I have lupus and was experiencing a major flare up – usually this occurs at the end of summer but for some reason it decided to occur earlier). Up until the night before I left for Guatemala (July 22-July 31st) I had many reservations about the trip. In my mind I was thinking, “O.K. God, I agreed to take a step of faith by taking advantage of this incredible opportunity that you put in front of me. What’s the deal with me struggling physically as I get ready to depart on this mission trip?”. I didn’t want to be a burden to the group and I wanted to be able to be a part of this unbelievable experience without having to worry about my health. Throughout my trip, God proved his faithfulness time and time again. I know that this was a true test of my faith. I have grown closser to God because of this which is what He intends for us to do. I have been changed in ways that I can’t even explain. Once again, this is evidence that God works in ways that we don’t understand. Before this trip, I would always pray that I would completely trust in God 100%. While those words sounded good, I don’t believe that I honestly felt that in my heart. I am so thankful that I evidenced first hand God’s faithfulness, his unceasing love and his awesome power. God is great! Don’t ever underestimate the unbelievable power of prayer. I am so thankful for all the prayer support that I received while on my trip! Thanks for doing this Renee – what a great idea. I will continue to pray that all goes well with your adoption.
Renee,
What a precious spirit you are! You blessed me with your correspondence and your encouragement to share! Thank you for the opportunity to again share with our testimonies and further prayer requests if needed.
As I wrote you, The Power of a Praying Friend response was truly amazing and I believe shows the hearts of God’s women around this dark and lost world to connect and unite as one body in prayer! God nor our prayers know no boundaries, so being on the frontline in the battle of this world was right up my alley! As we step forward “together”, darkness has to step back! I want to thank the person who prayed for me! I certainly felt your prayers at my place of work as I started a noon day “Pray for the Nations” segment. I work in the government, so you can imagine the warfare therein, but your prayers helped make the “first” one a blessing. We had a great turn out! Keep praying for me in that area as I plan to continue the noon prayer time up until the election in November.
The dear lady I prayed for was Shola in Kigali, Rwanda. Dear lady I prayed for financial breakthrough for you and your family. I would love to hear your testimony and would dearly love to keep in touch with you if possible. I do not have a blog, but my email is [email protected] if you are able. I prayed expectantly, so I KNOW you have a testimony!
Thank you again Renee for you obedience to God’s call! What a blessing you were to me!

My request was financial provision. God is providing little by little. I’ve received more quilt orders. No job offers yet, but I’m believing that if He wants me to work, He will provide the job. I honestly believe that with six children, He wants me home to care for them. But, God does have a sense a humor. Who knows. His ways are better and higher.
I guess my request is that if it is His will for me to work outside of the home, then He would bring me to the right job and provide me with the right word during the interview. Otherwise, for Him to bring more customers to Emma Witmer’s Quilt Shop to buy the Wreath of Roses, so that I would have more orders to work on.
I have peace and I know He will provide, but it doesn’t hurt to pray.
Thank you for praying for me.
