Prayer Request from Allie Clark - 9/9

I would like to ask if you and the church could keep my two younger brothers, Luke (15 years old) and Nat (9 years old) and my parents, in your prayers?

The reason I am asking for prayers is that on Labor Day, my brothers were playing football and the ball bounced and hit my brother Luke in the eye. Luke is now not able to see out of the eye that got hit. This is a big deal for two reasons: obviously, because Luke cannot see, and two, it is the eye he has had corrective surgery on. Luke was born with a cataract, and was pronounced legally blind in one eye before he was a month old. Throughout the years, Luke has went through so many different procedures to correct his eye and further develop his retina and eye tissues. Just in the past few years, Luke became one of about 20 people in the entire nation to have a certain corrective eye surgery. This surgery allowed Luke to be able to see out of the eye that he was pronounced legally blind in (a miracle).

Luke has been to the optometrist and was suppose to see the opthomologist today–I have not heard anything as of yet. Although not a lot has been done, they do know that if he does not regain his sight within a few days, he will have to have the surgery all over again. Please pray that God will just be with Luke, that he will keep him calm, and that if he does not regain his sight, that God will give Luke the strength and courage to go through this surgery again.

Although Luke is most certainly the main concern, Nat needs prayers as well. It was slightly his fault that the ball hit Luke in the eye. My family does not want Nat to feel guilty because after all it was an accident.

My parents are going to also need prayers. These next few days are going to be crucial, and if Luke does not regain sight, they will be in for a long and stressful time period that I know they do not wish to go through again.

I’m sorry this is long, but I thought that it would help to know the whole story behind everything.

In Christ,

Allie Clark

…an update 9/10

I was able to talk to my parents last night after they got back from the opthomologist. The bleeding has stopped in Luke’s eye, and his vision, Luke thinks, is slowly coming back. Unfortunately, he is going to have to have surgery on his eye still. He needs the calcium build up removed, and most likely, are going to make sure nothing needs to be repaired.

Nat, the youngest brother, is also doing okay, as of right now. He seems to be taking the role of the older brother and is being very protective of Luke.

God is already answering prayers–which is absolutely awesome! :)


Psalm 121

This “Traveler’s Psalm” is such an encouragement.

Psalm 120

We will be studying the Psalms of Ascent this Fall together on Sunday mornings. This is especailly neat for us as a church as it is believed that these Psalms answer the questions posed in Psalm 24, “Who shall ascend the Hill of the Lord.”

The one who ascends must have clean hands and pure heart, the one who ascends must be true in the attitudes and desires of their soul, the one who ascends must be going up for the right reason, they must be focused on the worship of God.

The audio here starts after most of the introduction…sorry about that.

There is Love Pouring Like a Flood

As Bethany moves with John (Husband) to British Columbia, The Glances, in their current form, will be somewhat short lived. However, we hope that this song will continue to live in the hearts and minds of those who hear it. As you enjoy and share this music, please remember to pray for John and Bethany as they transition to life and ministry in Vancouver.

“There is Love Pouring like a Flood” is the first recorded track from the new hymns project, The Glances. Performed by Bethany Furst, this song is a gift to the body of Hill of the Lord, University Church. Bethany and Nathan would also like to thank Kenny McWilliams @ Archer Avenue Studio for his generosity and support.
