First of all, I want to thank you all for your prayers on behalf of me and Richard.  Remember he WAS working 5 nights/week, graveyard shift?  Well, I hated that SO much, because I hate to be alone (without him home).  I asked the Lord to please fix his hours where he wouldn't be away so much at night.  Within the hour, Richard had called me and said they had changed his hours!  He only works graveyard shift 2 nights a week, 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and is off FOUR days/week!  And he doesn't have to work the 16-hour shift on Fridays, like was initially planned!!!  Is our Father something else, or what???
 
OK, so here's my request.  I am going to have Richard anoint me and the dogs tonight before he leaves with olive oil, plead the blood of Yahshua, and pray for peace, good sleep, and protection.  Kayla (our female dog) is used to being with Richard all day, every day (except his millions of stays in the hospital!), because he couldn't work (physically) for so long.  She is having a REAL hard time dealing with him being gone at night now, and she whines and is SO sad when he leaves. Please pray that she will get used to him being gone and his new work schedule... QUICKLY!  Once I get her calmed down, I can go to sleep, and since I have to drive 3 hours/day and work, it's vital that I get plenty of rest.  Knowing God, I'm betting you the anointing will work great!  Rusty (our male dog) is fine, as long as one of us is with him, but we didn't adopt him until about 18 months after we got Kayla, so he isn't quite as dependent on Richard as Kayla is.
 
Thanks much, and I'll keep you informed.
 
Love from your sister in Yahshua!
