Hello all you wonderful prayer warriors. 
I have a few prayer requests if you have time.
1. Emily started college yesterday. She is only 16 so I am sure there will be a few wolves prowling about. Please pray that she is able to focus on her education and avoid things that would harm or distract her.
2. Johnathan is at Ft. Bragg going through "selection" for Special Forces training. He will be there for 14 days. Please pray for his safety, strength, and endurance to make it through. He really wants this and Nikki (his wife) is being fully supportive.
3. Elizabeth - UGH, where to begin? The boys were kicked out of day care so I have Travis until a spot opens at another center and Auston will be staying with the other grandmother for the school year. He has some speech and socialization problems and has been enrolled in a special school. Elizabeth works for Rent-A-Center and was delivering a couch with her boss yesterday. Her arm was caught between the couch and the door frame when the boss shoved it as hard as he could to get it though the door. It broke her arm just above the wrist.   To top the day off when she got home an ex-boyfriend had kicked in her door and stolen everything. Fortunately, he text-messaged a friend about what he had done so he has a warrant out for his arrest. Unfortunately that doesn't get her stuff back and of course she had no insurance. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, you just can't get out from under that dark cloud.  
*EDITED to add - I forgot to ask for prayers for Katie! She is having surgery on September 11. She has had strep repeatedly this year so they are going to take out her tonsils. Please pray for the doctors, nurses, and Katie during the surgery and for a quick recovery.
Thank you! You are always in my prayers.
__________________________________________
UPDATES:
1. Emily is doing very well so far. She received a work study in the drama department and is *very* excited about it. She tried out for the first play but there are only 8 parts and 23 students tried out. She is a little overwhelmed at the lack of time since she is going to school and working but so far she is handling it ok.
2. Well, John got heat stroke twice and had to drop out with only four days left. He was very upset with himself but plans to go again in April or May. They are moving to Ft. Sill, OK by the end of the month. They will be about 7 hours closer to us! Can't complain about that, lol.
3. Elizabeth - She REALLY needs prayers. She is flushing her life down the drain. She has cut herself off from the family because I have been "telling her how to run her life." She picked Travis up a week and a half ago. She is back together with the guy who kicked in the door and stole everything. Go figure. I don't even know what to say anymore. Please just keep her and the boys in your prayers please.
4. Katie's surgery is tomorrow at 7:30 AM MT. It should only take about an hour and we should be home later in the day, God willing. :-) Emily gets to have the same surgery done the Thursday before Thanksgiving. FUN.....
I was reading through the prayer requests on the board and there are so many heartbreaking things happening. I want you all to know that I do read through and you're in my prayers even if I don't have time to send a post.
Thank you for your prayers, they are truly appreciated.
Blessings,
UPDATE 2:
Katie's surgery went *very* quickly once they finally got her back to the OR. They told us to be there at 6:30 for surgery at 7:30 but then they scheduled two people ahead of her. We ended up waiting until just before 9:30. She was in recovery before 10.  When she woke up she was very shaky so they had to give her a lot of demerol and then she was very nauseated. We ended up hanging out in the recovery area until about 12:30.
Her throat is *very* sore and she is trying to eat things she shouldn't (like tater tots, lol) because she is "hungry". She slept most of the day and has been drinking a lot of water, ice chips, and non-citrus juice. We bought her some non-menthol halls, some fruit soothers, and a huge bag of jolly rancher suckers and candy to help keep her throat moist. She tried some chloraseptic but it didn't really help. Hopefully tomorrow she will feel better and stick to the easy to eat stuff until her throat heals a bit more.
Thank you all for your prayers. We really appreciate them.
Blessings,

Praying, Krisann, for all your intentions. The pain of watching a beloved child make bad choices is so difficult to deal with.
Peace,
Nancy
