Update regarding Johnnie Rawls as posted by her daughter, Susan, and requesting continued prayers:

Mom is not bouncing back in rehab and they recommended she go to assisted-living. Tom found a wonderful facility run by a Christian family. We believe she will be discharged on Wednesday from rehab. We are hoping that eventually she will regain her strength and be able to return home but for now we appreciate prayers for her emotional adjustment to a new living environment.

Update from Susan Rawls:

New update: must be all y’alls prayers 😁 but today Mom has improved and is sitting up in bed talking and started eating again. She asked to get up and walk around. She doesn’t need hospice and we are thankful. We have seen this with her so many times before where she somehow recovers, by the grace of God.

Tom Rawls has updated us with this message about his mom, Johnnie Rawls:

My mom has been in the hospital since last Tuesday. (This makes 3 times she’s been in since November.) The hospital doctor is suggesting mom be placed in "comfort care". They cannot discharge her to Rehab because she's currently not capable of doing PT. (Her mental and physical state is not good.) The doctor said she’s up and down like a roller coaster, which is often the same thing at home. I don’t know if she will turn around or not, but the doctor doesn’t think so. Appreciate your prayers and those of the dear saints at North Atlanta.

None of us know when the Lord will call us home, but it seems like it might be soon for Johnnie (who celebrated her 100th birthday not long ago!). Of course, it’s difficult for her children to see her declining and it’s understandable they would love to see her bounce back again, as she’s done several times in the past couple of years.

Pray for comfort and rest and that the Lord’s purposes will be fulfilled and He name will be praised.

Prayer request from Susan Rawls (daughter of Johnnie Rawls)

Mom has been in the hospital again for about a week now and is not doing well. No one has any answers. The hospital is recommending something along the lines of end of life care. We will get more information soon and would appreciate prayer as we make decisions about what is best for Mom.

Update from Win Strickland and Kim’s knee replacement surgery this morning:

Surgery complete. Doctor very happy with the repair. Praising the Lord! We’ll see how initial recovery goes here to find out the go home plan. Thanks from us both for the prayers lifted.

02/21/2026

Win Strickland has requested prayer for Kim Strickland as she has a total knee replacement Monday. Pray that the surgery/recovery/therapy is speedy and as low pain as possible. Given her heart history (aortic valve replaced in 2023) doctors decided the hospital setting was the proper cautious route.
