Dear Board Brethren,
I just want to ask special prayer for my dear Darlene. As you know, we have moved over to the new property and are, for all intents and purposes, camping until the house is finished. We can get in out of the weather (except the heat, no A/C,) and we can prepare meals with the toaster oven, electric skillet, crock pot, etc. However, just the stress of being out of ones natural element while trying to take care of a large family has, I believe, gotten my dear wife down and her health is very poor. She is having several problems and just can't seem to shake them. Please lift her up and remember this need, she tries so hard and is so faithful. Thank you.
Bro. Ben

Brother Ben and Darlene,
I have been on this fellowship board for a few months now. I am very sorry to hear about the great hardships you have been facing while you wait on the construction of your home, as well as Darlene's health issues.
Are you receiving any sort of assistance from the Christians you know in the community (I think you mentioned you are familiar with a Beachy Amish group)?
In addition to prayer, is there anything else we on this fellowship board can do to lighten your load?
MJR

Dear Brother Ben...Please tell my dear sister Darlene that I am praying for her and I will call her tomorrow on the way home from work. I wish that I was close by to help you all in a more personal way, but I will continue to pray. I love you all..... Love sis Debbie

Bro. Ben,
So sorry to hear that Darlene isn't feeling well. We've been out of town and am only just reading about her health challenges. Being in an unsettled situation for an extended period is hard on us women, I know. We spent six months out of our familiar surroundings with all our household items and furniture in storage in N. Carolina years ago. I finally just had to try to relax (was sort of hard as the cabin we rented at that time had a bad pest problem with those big old thousand-legs bugs that hid in the baseboards and then crawled up the concrete wall when we turned on the heat. Ugh.)
Hope Darlene gets to feeling better and you all get the house completed soon. Will put your family all on my prayer list.
Christian Love, Wanda

Dear Brother Ben, I am most certainly praying for our precious Sister Darlene...
She has her hands full with all that is going on with the move and family, it does get overwhelming.
If there is anything I can do from here, please don't hesitate to let me know.
God bless and send her our love! Sister Penny

Brother Ben,
We will add your family to our prayers. I know you have all had an up and down year and that can really take a toll on your body. We will pray for quick and complete healing for Darlene. We will continue to pray for completion of the house so you don't have to camp out anymore.
God Bless you and your family, Bethany and Kevin

mjr, you asked:
Yes, we have had some dear brethren reach out to help. The brothers from the Amish community have given sacrificially to the building project and a brother in the community gave us almost $500 in Home Depot gift cards the other day. We are encouraged. Please keep my sweety and the house project in your prayers.
Ben

Thank you for your prayers and please continue to keep Darlene in your prayers. Besides the problem she has been having, she has dealt with several other, what I call, health attacks. She has had a horrible cold/flu, then she hurt her neck and back and we had to go to the chiropracter, and then she came down with a stomach flu. I have been so grieved over this. She finally saw some light Saturday, but she still feels queezy. She has had this last bout since last Monday night. She needs your prayers.
Bro. Ben
