Another Prayer Request

 Today I would like to ask for special prayer for my brother in law, Rick, who is scheduled to have some skin cancer removed. Pray that they can get it all and that he does not have much pain. Also that it will heal smoothly and uneventfully. 

I really appreciate all of my prayer warrior friends! God uses you all in a powerful way and I am thankful and grateful! :O) 

A Milestone - Four Years

Today is my oncology checkup appointment. To be honest - I have been a bit more emotional lately. This usually happens around this time. But this year I have more reasons to be emotional about it. I have two friends who have had reoccurrences. One of them is going through treatment again, and the other one....she has been admitted to a hospice house... not expected to live very much longer. Her cancer is very aggressive. My heart breaks for her family. It could be me. She too, was diagnosed with endometrial cancer- but she has a combo of two different kinds and the combo and being very aggressive has made it move so very fast.

I also need prayers because earlier this week I got sick. I was able to get in to see the Dr Monday afternoon and have been on meds ever since- I was hoping to be feeling better by now so I had not rescheduled. These appt are made 6 months in advanced and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get an apt this year and since we have meant our first deductible for the year I would not have to pay the entire $158. For the appt like I would have to do if the appt was put off till next year. Anyway so now I'm committed to go and want to feel decent enough to go and also am praying that I'm not contagious- since I've been on meds for a few days.

Anyway I would sure appreciate prayers. Prayers that if there is any reason what so ever that I might need a ct scan that my Dr will order one. We have meant our deductible for the year so we would not have to pay for the whole entire testing cost. But I don't want to spend money unnecessarily, so I don't want to just ask for a ct scan. Anyway I am putting my trust in God - He is in control.

Oh and a bit of positive news here - this will mark my 4th year since my surgery! Isn't that awesome?!

Thanks so much for the prayers - they mean a lot! :O)

Pray All the Time

Something floating around Facebook - some encouragement - not only to pray but also to thank God. We always have something to thank God for. All good gifts come from Him! :O

Don't Neglect Prayer

The only way that we can be overcomers is to abide in Christ- and how do we do that? By a personal relationship. In order to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ we must spend time with Him - in prayer and in study. He longs to spend time with us - why don't we fulfill His desire and devote more time to getting to know Him better?! :O)

Power of Prayer

Prayer is powerful- but you might miss out on how powerful it can be. If you do not keep track of your prayers either by a prayer journal or recording your prayer request in a spiral notebook. Then periodically read through your prayer request. When you come across prayers that have been answered be sure and mark it some how so that later you are able to see how many of your prayers are answered. Try it! You might be surprised to see many more answers to prayer than you ever realized!
