The 17 year old girl raised Muslim who converted to Christianity at the age of 13, and hid it from her family for as long as she could. Her Father found out, and she ran away to Florida, in fear for her own life. Her claim is that her Father threatened to kill her, an "<i>honor killing</i>" which is called for in the Koran. <div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>I believe her. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>I'm praying for her. </b></div><div><br /></div><div>Her parents are fighting for her return to Ohio, to their custody. As of today, a Florida judge ruled that she remain in foster care in Florida, until an "investigation" is completed into the home and family of this 17 year old girl. Pray that the Lord would do a mighty work in this case! That the Lord would protect this precious daughter of His! Pray for her safety!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Jesus, Mighty God, I come before you now, with my fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ and lift up this precious child of God to you! I pray that you would do a mighty work in her life, in and through the people around her! I pray that you would bring wisdom, and clarity to the Judge over her case. I pray that the truth would be revealed to him, and that his ruling would be one to protect this young girl. I thank you for her courage, her strength, and her faith. Her ability to stand up for you, even with the fear of losing her life hanging over her head. I pray for a radical conversion of her family! You are an awesome God, and I've seen it happen before! I pray that through this young girl, and this situation, that her family would come to a Saving Knowledge of Jesus Christ! The Alpha and Omega! I pray that through this many eyes would be opened to the truth and reality of Islam. I thank you for your love Lord, you love all people, and wish for none to perish. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus I bring this request.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Amen.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watch this video below, it will break your heart!</div><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JAuL3fgy_ec&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JAuL3fgy_ec&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object></div>RWilson05http://www.blogger.com/profile/07405581724778242969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920626494230979931.post-44549423752955820662009-08-21T12:56:00.000-07:002009-08-21T13:19:20.303-07:00Friday Photo Flashback<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://minyards7.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Friday Photo Flashback" src="http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss118/kenleysmomma14/fpf2.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://minyards7.blogspot.com/2009/08/friday-photo-flashback_20.html">Alicia</a> is hosting a Friday Photo Flashback.

We met at Magic Moutain, Ca. and became pen pals. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Crazy, I know!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> He was always very chivalrous.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We never dated, but were "friends". Though he knew the moment he met me at 15 years old that I would be his wife. I thought we was crazy, and possibly a psycho axe murderer...</div><div style="text-align: center;">plus we was in the marching band. A "band geek". I was an athlete. The too "cool for school" jock. Plus we lived in different cities... </div><div style="text-align: center;">He moved to my city to go to college, and to secretly be closer to me. He was 17 when he started college. I was 16. But the fact that I was still a "high schooler" kinda freaked him out. It just was not our time yet....</div><div style="text-align: center;">Finally, SEVEN years after we met, the time was right, and we started dating. A year and a half after we started dating, we were married. </div><div style="text-align: center;">That's the short version. There's a lot more to it. Drama. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I love our story though. Mainly because it's "our" story.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But also, because one of my favorite love stories in the bible is that of Jacob and Rachel.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Jacob fell instantly in love with Rachel at the well where he met her. He then worked for 7 years for her Father, his Uncle, in order to marry her. Then... drama. But in the end, he was able to marry Rachel, after another 7 years of hard work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Although my husband didn't have to labor for over 14 years for my hand in marriage, he did pursue me for over 7 years, with the hope that one day I would be his bride. That was hard work too! I had ZERO interest! Plus, all the drama. </div><div style="text-align: center;">But here we are, almost 4 years into our marriage, 12 years after we met, happily married!</div><div style="text-align: center;">In the end, he got the girl, and I got my prince!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Really, it's a great love story.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Like that of Jacob and Rachel.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Complete with lots of juicy drama. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Which I'll save for another day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">=)</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji-bbNCBIZRJ-WkR-w9Aood1OqIwsVuh144Ryl-mJYwUcShtoFyybb0fDgza5EWxErlhzPayrv7-Icr8UNtomWvAxo1cAHIhJuFxLPz1dUe3Ey6-SpKKL_2LUSa0Kh73Ii2OY7FY_wsj9R/s1600-h/IMG_5373_2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji-bbNCBIZRJ-WkR-w9Aood1OqIwsVuh144Ryl-mJYwUcShtoFyybb0fDgza5EWxErlhzPayrv7-Icr8UNtomWvAxo1cAHIhJuFxLPz1dUe3Ey6-SpKKL_2LUSa0Kh73Ii2OY7FY_wsj9R/s400/IMG_5373_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372509648373359058" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Here we are 12 years later.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happily married.

Too full. Overwhelming actually. My husband and family need me right now. And so I've decided to take a break from the Coupon Match ups and Weekly Grocery Deals. I've actually taken quite an unexpected, but long break from couponing all together, and I don't know how long that will resume. Probably not for very long, as coupon savings are an absolute necessity for our family. Not a hobby, or even a luxury, but an cold, hard must! </div><div><br /></div><div>I will still be posting and connecting with my close friends, family, and blogger friends who remain interested.... </div><div><br /></div><div>I am also open and willing to answer any questions one may have about saving money using coupons, cutting their grocery bill, and other frugal money saving questions, because over the years I have become quite the "frugal Mommy"... However the time it takes to post on a weekly schedule, and to write out the weekly posts, I don't have at this time.</div><div><br /></div><div>I would like to ask you for prayer during this season in my life. And, NO, my marriage is not over, nor on the brink of being over. But Satan is very real, and very present in his attacks. As this is more of a spiritual battle being played out in a very personal, and very painful way.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is a "Wordless Wednesday" post scheduled for tomorrow. Look forward to more pictures, updates on what is going on, posts about homeschool, prayer requests both mine and others who wish to share need for prayer, either for themselves or others. Look forward to me sharing the mighty, and powerful ways that the Lord is working and moving in my life. Providing, answering prayers, ministering, stretching, growing, and refining my family through the fire!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement this past month, what a crazy month it's been! I couldn't even make up this stuff if I tried to people!! I've said this before, and I've always meant it, even now; THANK YOU for your support! You have all been so incredibly generous in your comments, emails, phone calls, hugs, and prayers!! I hope you will all continue to be a source of encouragement, because you are awesome! </div><div><br /></div><div>My blogging journey definitely isn't over... just changing, growing, as my life changes and grows, because that's what we do right? As people? Especially as God's people!? </div><div><br /></div><div>Won't you continue to join me on this amazing journey?</div><div><br /></div><div>With all my love,</div><div>Rachael</div>RWilson05http://www.blogger.com/profile/07405581724778242969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920626494230979931.post-71865904975036752572009-08-06T11:39:00.001-07:002009-08-06T11:53:36.725-07:00GREAT NEWS!!<div style="text-align: center;">I went back to my chiropractor yesterday, and got the results from my hip x-ray last Friday. FINALLY!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I DID NOT BREAK ANYTHING!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was thrilled to hear that!</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, I most assuredly bruised my femur bone inside my hip socket.</div><div style="text-align: center;">AND, I essentially threw my lower back out of whack.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">BUT I DIDN'T BREAK MY HIP!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm still in pain, though now, only after a long day spent on my feet. Which is just about every day. Why on earth do I spend the day on my feet? </div><div style="text-align: center;">All day, every day? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh yeah.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm a Stay at Home Mom. Of four. Two toddlers. And I homeschool.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nope, no reason at all to spend all day on my feet, just about every day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">BUT I DIDN'T BREAK MY HIP!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a pretty funny situation though, not knowing. I mean how many 26 year olds fall and break their hip as a result? Not me thankfully, but if anyone, it would've been me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">That fits me so perfectly, I can't even begin to describe it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This has been quite an unexpected blogging break, but, I'M COMING BACK!</div><div style="text-align: center;">PROMISE!</div><div style="text-align: center;">NEXT WEEK!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Things will get back to normal around here come next week! I'm taking the rest of the week, and weekend to catch up on my poor neglected house. Funny how that happens.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Everything is hunky dory, looking quite nice, then WHAM! Mom is out of commission, and the house falls apart. Why does that always seem to happen? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Could it be that my kids just take total advantage of Mom being incapacitated, and therefore run amok?

I haven't abandoned you all, I promise!<br /><br />Remember how I told you about the Indian Meal Moths, and Mice living in my house? Well, thankfully they are being taken care of...<br /><br />However, now I am the one in need of care.<br /><br />You see, while throwing out B A G S of food infested with Meal Moths, I fell.<br /><br />Hard.<br /><br />Off of a step ladder.<br /><br />While standing on the top step.<br /><br />Yeah. It hurt. A lot! My husband came home to find me in a heap on the floor, crying my eyes out.<br /><br />This was Tuesday night.<br /><br />You see, I, having not been named Grace for a reason, lost my balance and fell of my step ladder. I landed on the ball of my right foot, and consequently twisted my ankle, pulled several muscles up my leg and into my back, tweaked my knee, and jammed my hip bone pretty badly.<br /><br />Or so I thought.<br /><br />I went to my chiropractor today, hoping he could relieve some of my pain, and twisted joints. He was able to work on everything except my hip. I related to him the story of what happened, and he did some diagnostic "tests" to see if I truly jammed my femur bone into my hip socket, or if I did something much worse. [<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I truly love this man! He's my miracle worker, and is so cautious!</span></span>]<br /><br />Let just say I failed his tests. Miserably! I was in SO much pain, I actually hit the poor man! [<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Sorry Doc!</span></span>] Because of the circumstances of my fall, and the nature of my pain [<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">we're talking SERIOUS pain! So much so in fact that any movement causes me to see sunbursts and mini explosions, as well as sending bolts of lightning through the inside of my leg bones!!</span></span>] he sent me to get a Stat X-Ray.<br /><br />He thinks I either broke my hip, or ruptured the blood vessel that supplies nutrients to the femur bone. Ya. Seriously. O. U. C. H.<br /><br />Sadly, the radiologist did NOT get the "Stat" results back to him before the end of the day, and unless my Chiropractor makes a "special" 160 mile round trip to his office tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't know anything until Monday! Even then hopefully on Monday!<br /><br />So, due to the intensity of the pain, the orders to stay OFF of my feet as much as possible, [<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">with 4 children under the age of 7</span></span>] the fact that the pain is much worse in the sitting position verses the prone postition, and the ridiculous amounts of Vicodin I must take merely to take the edge off... [1500mg 3x a day...]<br /><br />I'm being FORCED to take a break. From blogging. From Couponing. From Frugal Deal Finding. From carrying my incredibly adorable 2 and 1 year old babies. From driving. From my life pretty much!<br /><br />I don't know for how long, but please don't give up on me! I will be back as soon as I'm able!<br /><br />On the bright side I will be able to stay in bed and <span style="font-style: italic;">JUSTIFY</span> it!<br /><br />Although I will be planning out our lessons for this upcoming school year.<br />And probably losing handfuls of hair while I'm at it.<br /><br />So in a nutshell this has been a HORRIBLE week, but I find comfort in the strength, and the peace of my Lord Jesus Christ!!<br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>RWilson05http://www.blogger.com/profile/07405581724778242969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920626494230979931.post-89857616779946546622009-07-29T13:15:00.000-07:002009-07-29T13:14:34.402-07:00Wordless Wednesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeAyF2KH-2GOKYj22E_p926xA2cxRbD7fWpiAgTXBgD_dCoG1zwQDADXAcmIkPOKzDckamjmED7fyaf46vLmsOc4D3SnN2TOPHO-IKIhAeZxN1mFtTq1oZkDtxBqYUHWao5L7wL5SIMDLk/s1600-h/Jericho+Yawn+WW.jpg"><img style="display:block;
