Pray for me please
Posted September 30th, 2009 by Jill Conner BrowneI am in AR as emergency fill-in speaker for Komen–must speak to 600+ people in 2 hours–& my Mama just died. We’ve had her home, in our room with us, for months with hospice care, so not “surprise”–but still… My Mama is gone. God’s Timing is Perfect & Mama is healed. Pray that I can make this speech for Komen & that God will be glorified by it. I thank God for all the time with Mama–even the hard times–& I thank Him for taking her Home. I’m sure she waited for me to leave & God brought me here today for a Reason. Just lift me up–believing all that I do, it is still unbearably hard.

Amen

Love,

Jill,
You are in my prayers and whatever the situation is it’s all in God’s hands as you know. So I ask that he gives you the strength to endure it…He is there for you and your faith will hold you up…He will carry you…
Love

Father God,
Give Jill the strength to face whatever adversity she may be facing right now. Hold her safe in Your arms and comfort her in her hour. And let her feel the love of the many women and men whose lives she has touched.
In Your Name,
Amen

Dear Father,
You know the heaviness weighing on Jill’s heart. Comfort her, strengthen her, make her fully aware that You are carrying this burden with her. Give her such a strong sense of Your presence that she will have no doubt of Your purpose in her life. Help her know that You are the rock in the stream that stops not our flow, but redirects the current. Let her feel the love of others that pray for her and care for her.
In Jesus’s name,
Amen

Jill, I pray for all of this and more. I love you, and will keep you in my constant thoughts and prayers. Lifting you up, holding your hand, and sending you the most positive, healing juju I’ve got.
Much love,

Just put a call into the big guy to release the angels! Your mama is in safe hands. Be well, comforted and know we are all here for you. You are worthy of much following!

Jill, you have my heart and strength today. Even if it’s not a surprise, that doesn’t make the loss any less.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:06 am
God Bless you all! Will keep you in my prayers.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Got you way high up in the box.

I lost my mom 4 years ago after a 5 year fight with breast cancer. I was at the hospital and had to leave to pick up my youngest sister from the airport, the only one that had not made it there. When I left the hospital, my mom chose that time to pass on. I always felt she didn’t want my sister to see her there and it was best that I was the one with my sister. I truly believe it happened the “right” way and am thankful.
You are in a very important place doing a very important thing. Thank you. Your mother would be so proud of the way you are handling this. I am keeping you in my thoughts.

Keeping you, Judy, BoPeep & Kyle in my thoughts & prayers… *hugs all around*

Many thought and prayers coming your way.

Lifting you up in prayer today Jill. I know you can feel all the love that’s flying around thru cyberspace for you today.
And to quote you: Love you hunny !!
September 30th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Thinking of you and your family, Jill. Take care and be good to yourself during this difficult time. Love to Judy, too.

Asking God to comfort you and give you strength in this time of loss of your dear Mama. I lost my 94 year old Mama two years ago, but we can be thankful that our Mamas are now with their loved ones and feelin’ fine!
September 30th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I believe you are there for a reason and someone in AR needs your message. Believe in that and you will find your strength.
September 30th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Oh hunny, I am so sorry. Many hugs.
September 30th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Prayers for your family and praise for your Mama.

Jill, you’re in my prayers. I was at the Pink Ribbon Luncheon here in Arkansas and had not had the privilege of knowing you until today. I’m extremely grateful that I was able to attend and hear you speak. I’m amazed at the way you were able to compose yourself and deliver to the room in the midst of such tragedy. You were still able to bring laughs through tears, which like they say in the eternal classic, Steel Magnolias, is my favorite emotion. You are a real inspiration. I hope you feel your presence was worthwhile, but I assure you, it was.

Dear Jill,
We knew this was coming but as always, that doesn’t help. Just know that tons of us love you and care about you – you’ve done so much for us. Unfortunately, so many of us are dealing with this kind of thing right now. I’m praying for you and your family. Thank God for them and your friends!
September 30th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Oh Jill, I was so very sorry to hear the news when George called. I have thought about you all day long and you are tops on my prayer list. I will see you soon, my friend. Bless you, Kyle, Judy and Bailey, and God bless Mama.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Jill, my heart goes out to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers today as you go through this very difficult time. I know what it feels like to lose one’s Mama.
May you have peace in your heart. Your Mama was most surely proud of you and proud of what you are doing today. Hugs to you, my friend.

I did not know that your mother had left this world when I posted before. Mine died 4 years ago and had gotten so ill that it was a blessing to see her let go. For her sake. I was a little child without a mother and grieved (and still grieve) terribly. My Daddy had died 2 years before. I say all of this to say I have some idea of what you are experiencing and that in addition to the earlier prayer, I pray for ease of the pain you are feeling and I pray you are filled with sweet memories. God bless and keep you and yours.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
I can only imagine how hard it will be to speak to all those people today, but I truely believe that you are right where God intends for you to be. You are such a wonderful vehichle for his message, and he would not give you more than you can bear, if he didn’t need for you to be in ARK right now. Trust in that, and know that your Momma is just fine, and all is well. God Bless You.
September 30th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I can’t imagine what to say to give you comfort at this time. God’s arms are around you and your mom is surely smiling down at you for being such a wonderful, caring, loving and fabulous child to her your whole life through. As for the rest of it, just let your family, loving friends and others just carry you through it. It is their honor to do it and everyone’s love for you will shine through now more than you ever imagined. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your loved ones through this truly sorrowful time.

May she rest in peace dear friend.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. She is now at peace as we all know but the loss is still never easy. You are in my prayers as is your sister and your family. Bradenton, FL

May you find comfort in knowing that your beloved mama is safe in the arms of our Lord. Please know that you are a glorious testament to her journey on Earth – she will continue to touch hearts and lives through you.

I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you coming to speak in Fayetteville. I was there and I was completely stunned when you told us about your momma. I am honored to have heard you speak, and your whole family will be in my prayers.
October 1st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Dear Jill, Your mama will be there with you at this speech and will look after you, ‘Peep, and Kyle always. This is not a club anyone wants to join, you feel like an orphan. But I’m talking to God for you and He always listens when I ask for something.
October 1st, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Bless you Jill.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:50 pm
My prayers and thoughts go out to you Jill. Just because you know it’s going to happen does not make it any easier.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:30 am
My heart is breaking for you Jill. It may have been her time, but it is never a good time to lose your Mama. When we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:22 am
Prayers for you and prayers that your mama had a safe journey………..

Hang in there, it was your books that got me through when my Mom passed and for that I will always be grateful. My thoughts are with you.
