On yesterday I started a prayer shawl for a dear friend who is going through a major storm in her life. I could feel the pain as she recounted some of the events surrounding her circumstances.
As much as we try to be there for our friends when they really need it most, there are times when we really don’t know the right words to say. And I wonder should we even try to have the right words. Sometimes all they need is a listening ear to share the burden.

Today I am starting a new prayer shawl for a lady that I have known for a very long time. She is a beautiful young lady with a husband and two young children.
She has been battling breast cancer and its after effects for many years and will soon be undergoing reconstructive breast surgery.

When I first started the Prayer Shawl Ministry almost a year ago, I envisioned crocheting shawls that would bring smiles to those who felt hopeless, bring healing to women that were hurting both emotionally and physically.
While almost a year has passed, I certainly have not crocheted the number of shawls that I had hoped, but what I have done so far, I am grateful to God that he has allowed me to touch lives with what I have done so far. And with His strength I will crochet even more for years to come.
I started working on a new prayer shawl tonight. I have dedicated this prayer shawl for physical healing as well as peace. Although I have several people on my waiting list and I normally make them in order of the names being placed on the list plus factoring in the severity of their condition, I am a little unsure of who this one will go to.
I am currently seeking God for his complete and perfect will as to who this next prayer shawl will be for. My prayer and the major theme for all the prayer shawls I will create in 2010 will be “Experiencing the Heart of Jesus.”

I started working on my most recent prayer shawl a couple months ago. Normally it only takes me a week at the most to complete a prayer shawl once I start on it. However, I had some life events that got me a little off track and off focused.
I’m sure that you know that “life has a way of happening” when we least expect it. The first of many several unfortunate events began when my husband and sons were involved in a car accident that totaled our vehicle. Miraculously, they all walked away without even a scratch. I praise God everyday for sparing their lives when it could have been a much worse situation.
I am currently working on a prayer blanket for a lady that has an aggressive form of breast cancer, known as inflammatory breast cancer. She has already lost both breast and is under going just as equally aggressive chemotherapy.
I started on my second prayer shawl this past Monday. Before I started this prayer shawl, I already had in mind who it would be for, however, I was led by the Holy Spirit to make this prayer shawl for someone other than who I originally had in mind.
This prayer shawl that I am currently working on represents the power of God to heal emotional and spiritual wounds.
As I was working on the prayer shawl today, I took a moment and just ran my hand across the surface and just meditated on the Love of God and knowing that He is with Jane (not her real name) as she battles breast cancer. I thank God that He is already moving on her behalf.
She actually has a choice whether or not to undergo chemotherapy or hormone treatment. Alot of women don’t get that option. Jane is a beautiful lady. I have never met her in person. Have only seen pictures of her.

On yesterday I started crocheting my very first prayer shawl. This prayer shawl is for a friend, whose wife was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple months ago.
I am crocheting the prayer shawl in her favorite color of deep blue. The actual color is from Lion Brand, Home Spun Yard in Colonial.
The first entry of my prayer shawl journal is dedicated to Mother Edmonson. Mother Edmonson was diagnosed with breast cancer over one year ago. Though the doctors only gave her a couple months to live, she lived for another 18 months and went home to be with the Lord on Friday, May 1, 2009.
It broke my heart to hear of her death. I had planned to crochet a prayer shawl for her. The last I heard was that she was recovering well and I did not expect her death.
