This is (yet another) Praise Report, plus a (not too urgent) prayer request.
The Lord has done a --mighty-- work in my life and my parents' lives! Over Christmas, my mother literally said to me "well, you're a member of the family...," and that was...a miracle, all by itself. I --was-- wretched, unrepentant, all sortsa trapped in the miry clay, until by some miracle...I came to believe upon Jesus! Now, I'm definitely a work-in-progress, but The Lord has changed me so, so much...my parents seem to not only love me in the sense that good parents love their children out of obligation, but they seem to actually like me (sometimes, lol), and they'll chat me up a bit, spend time with me, etc. My dad takes me out for Sunday drives around more rural parts of the area, and its awesome. Not a whole lotta talking most times, but enough, and I get to enjoy Sirius radio ((classic vinyl, anyone?)).
Now, Mama's stressing out. She's fast approaching retirement, Praise God (!!!), and I think she over-works herself, compared to her colleagues, so...well, she'll be outta there soon, and she's looking forward to it (I am also, of course...). Mama also has a relatively minor, outpatient surgical procedure coming up. God has been good to my parents, too; they have good jobs and excellent heath coverage, so this procedure is being done in a good clinic, by a specialist. She seems to be fine with it, my dad's playing cool about the whole thing, and I don't think the recovery time is going to be all that much. And yet...I get nervous. I actually (gasp) genuinely care, and I certainly wouldn't wanna be cut on myself, so I ask that your pray that The Lord sees her thru this procedure (please).
I felt badly for mama because of her upcoming procedure, so I gave her the mother's day gifts early. I'm a big believer in supplements (I do Orthomolecular to help with my mental 'affliction' and overall health...I recommend it to everyone...), so I tried to figure out a way to get her to take supplements. My parents eat well and they're healthy, but...supplements are a good thing, in my book. So, I got to thinking, and lately she's gone from dyeing her own hair to going to a young lady, so I thought...appeal to her vanity! The online place where I buy my own supplements was having a sale on "beauty from within supplements," basically supplements for hair, skin, etc. It was kinda spendy, but I got a couple bottle of a mix for hair, skin, and nails. I hope it works...it got good reviews. Its a mix of some basic vitamins and antioxidant blends, etc. I also got her a big bottle of hippy conditioner for thick, chemically treated hair. She seemed pleased

I Praise God for His work in my life+my family's lives. I also thank y'all for your prayers.
