what's goin on, God?

This is Ralph, Sylvia, and Itzel Gomez. Cody and I met them at the church we were attending in Redwood City. Our time there was so short and we barely got to know them, but nevertheless we felt like "kindred spirits". Ralph and Sylvia just got married this past April or May - and just this morning Ralph went to be with Jesus after a year and a half long battle with cancer. He was 30 yrs old.
Please pray for Sylvia and Itzel.

On another note, today was my grandma's funeral. It was a sweet service with all 6 of her kids, million grandchildren, and just as many great-grandchildren. She was so deeply loved by so many. One thing was for sure, you never left grandma's house hungry! :) Please pray for my mom, who's taking it very hard.
What an odd season! As Heidi Baker would say, "what's goin ooon, God??!"

I am praying fervently for your mom. I was worried when I saw her today. She is struggling and looks like she is very depressed.

Praise God that Ralph is with him but oh, you know how Sylvia is feeling.

So much to pray for but God knows about it all and he will hear our prayers for EVERYBODY!!!

Love you girl. You were being so strong for your mom. God is blessing you and is going to use all this - someday and someway. I hope I am not to senile to understand it all......

Love and prayers,
Mama B

When my mother died I was 35 yrs. old, and this helped me to remember that my mom was with Jesus. I received a card that said "She is not dead, she is just away~" Praise God we will all be together again. I also will pray for your Mom, (I still miss my Mom too.)
