ISABEL:  Isabel surprised everyone by moving out very suddenly last week.  We fear she may come to regret this hasty decision, but hope for the best.  Please keep her and her baby, Landyn, in your prayers!

CATHERINE:  Catherine is working at three different jobs and attending college full-time.  We are amazed that she finds time to tuck her kids into bed at night!  Although we are proud of her efforts, the truth is that Catherine has perhaps taken on too much too soon.  Because of her learning disabilities, school is a real struggle, and because of her seizure disorder, her driver's license is suspended.  She spends so much money getting to and from work that, at the end of the day, she sees very little of her paycheck.  We fear she may burn-out from her crazy schedule, and that her grades will suffer.  Please pray that Catherine would make wise choices for herself and her three children.

MONICA:  Monica recently discovered that she has to have a kidney removed.  She was suffering from kidney failure during her pregnancy which is why she was induced early.  As if life weren't hard enough for this full-time student and working mother!  In addition to her physical ailments, Monica also struggles with a mental illness.  Recently, her medication was not working properly and she experienced a rather disturbing episode.  Her medication has since been adjusted, but we are all a little wary of a repeat occurrence.  Please pray for her!

In addition to the moms you have read about, Mary's Shelter provides homes to other mothers and children.  Please keep them ALL in your prayers.
