It's not a lot of pay but it's the only job that has taken me in full time. I want to also certify as a teacher since I like helping students pass.

Another prayer I ask for is for my hair. I am 29 years old and I've been losing my hair. I've tried all the things I can but people are pointing out my bald spots.

I also ask for your prayers for my dad. My dad throws up each morning and no doctor has identified why. I'm afraid of this as my grandfather died of esophageal cancer. Please let his vomit stop. Also he had eye surgery and apparently it didn't work. He is struggling to see and with his morning vomiting his eye gets worse. Please pray for him and for me...
I ask for your help and may all your prayers come true...

JULIE, 4/12/2015 - Heavenly Father / LORD JESUS, Thank you for your blessing & grace we received for our family. I beg you to resurrect Melissa left eye to 20/20 vision and make the eye disease and swollen optic nerve go away permanently.
Jesus said, "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13, 14).
I come to you Heavenly Father today and I have confidence in Your Word, and I take hold of Your promises to completely heal my daughter Melissa Ang.
Please forgive all her sins and remove all obstacles that is preventing her from healing.
FATHER GOD / JESUS, you are the miracle healer & physician. I believe whatever treatment medication, injection & laser on the eye you have directed the doctor is to resurrect Melissa's left eye 20/20 vision permanently and making the eye disease go away.
We put our trust and faith with JESUS that Dr Sharel C Ongchin and Russell Van Gelder are doctors that GOD has directed them to diagnose and treat her. We praise GOD and have faith that Melissa's left eye will be completely healed.
In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!
