My son's name is David. He's Ian's best friend. They've been best friends ever since they first learned to fight with each other, sometime after they both were one. They were born six months apart, and ever since either one knew they existed, I don't think they've spent a birthday apart from each other.
David's birthday is tomorrow, Oct. 11. When Beth asked him what he wanted, he said, "I want Ian to wake up." Up until now, I've always been able to get David what he wanted for his birthday, but this year I can't. However, we know the One who gave them both physical life and then, more importantly, spiritual life sometime after. I was wondering if anyone who happens to read this might pray with me and my family that Jesus would give him what he wants most for his birthday; his best friend back.
Thanks!

so good.
that has been my prayer today...
We'll be praying that his birthday wish comes true, and if it was my birthday, I would wish it as well!
I am fervently praying David's wish comes true. As I was praying today for Ian the Lord reminded of a song I heard a while back. The chorus is from from Eph. 5:14:
"Awake, O sleeper, arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
Praying our sleeper will arise.

the kimmel house contiues to pray. even jer asks when he comes home from school if there is any news. his new school, grace christian school, has been praying, the kids, teachers, and the secretary. birthdays are such landmarks for so many reasons, praying that JESUS will make david's bd this year a monumental landmark for HIS glory, david's gift, and a whole lot of joy for a bunch of other folks.
My family and I are praying, and so are a lot of other folks here in Charlotte. Thanks for making this blog so that we can know how to pray more specifically. Love you guys! -Marge
We're all praying, David.
I agree, Lord God Almighty shout loud and give Ian a wake up call!! He is able!!
Happy birthday David and get well soon Ian.
God is Almighty.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
I was reading Psalm 40 in my quiet time this morning and praying for God to grant the b-day wish of David. There are so many rich things in this Psalm but I was particularly struck by the last verse, v 17.
"I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; DO NOT DELAY, O MY GOD."
My prayer today has been that God would not delay in waking Ian.
