    Please pray for me tomorrow(Wednesday ) since Ii am having CT scans on my lungs.  Please pray that all is clear and that they can't see any cancer.  Also continue to pray that I can eat again and  not be afraid.  I  know God is mighty and can answer pray.

    We thank you at all times my Lord Jesus and at this time for your healing touch upon our sister Tobi.  Please dear Lord Jesus be with her tomorrow as she undergoes a CT scan.  We know that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that our faith will enable us to withstand any attempt by satan to destroy us.  I pray Tobi's strength and peace throughout this ordeal. 

    In the name of our precious Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, I pray, Amen.

    Tobi...I will be praying for you.

    I also need some prayers.  I had a CT scan today but they couldn't find a vein to start it in so I had to get one without the contrast dye.  I'm scheduled for a PET scan on Thursday too.  I've been having a lot of pain under my right rib.....I can't tell if it's the actual rib bone or an organ under the rib....but it hurts and is very uncomfortable.  My stomach has started bloating.  By the time I go to bed....I feel like I'm about 7 months pregnant.  Makes it very hard to breathe.

    I pray these scans don't show anything.....regardless of if they do or they don't....God is control of it all.......but it's still scary!

    Oh Tobi and Genia-

    My prayers are with you. My prayers are with the doctors, nurses and techs that are caring for you--that they are guided, that they have clear eyes and open minds. Have faith

    An intercessory prayer my dear Father in Heaven for Tobi, Foots and Genia.  Lord we thank you for our lives so far which has already been blessed so abundantly in ways some of which we don't even know.  Lord, we know that our time on this earth is only temporary and we are to store up for our eternal life spent with you.  At this moment Lord, God, I ask your loving arms be felt by my sisters as they undergo tests, not just physical tests but spiritual tests as well.  We know that you can do mighty works in our lives dear God and I just ask that you touch each one of them today Lord, protecting their health so they may continue their ministry of kingdom building.  Please let them be comfortable, take away all pain, all worries, make all future scans come in B9.

    We pray this in the precious name of our awesome God, Lord Jesus, Amen.

     Suddenly a storm arose. We are told that huge waves broke

    over the boat so it was nearly swamped.  "Teacher," the disciples

    called out, don't You care if we drown?' The Lord responded by

    quieting the seas. The wind and the waves died down and with them

    the disciples' fear. He asked them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you

    still have no faith. Luke 8: 22-25

    Healing has  at its roots, The ability to give and

    to receive nonjudgmental, unconditional love.

    God is not asking you to have the future

    figured out. He is asking you to trust that

    He has your future planned.

    And without that trust I would be absolutely lost!

    That you...may be able to...know the love of Christ which passes knowledge.   ---Ephesians 3:17-19

    Thank you all for your prayers!!!!!

    It seems that I finally found the right doctor to help me. The rheumatologist visit on May 11 was great. Not too happy with whatever maybe the doctor said that I have all the symptoms for fibromyalgia.  She gave me a script for physical therapy for twice a week for 6 weeks. then I will see the doctor again in 4 weeks. I work full time and the doctor said I did not give my body a rest.She wants me to go part time. Financially, I cannot do that.

    Thank you again

    Thank You, Lord that You are my defender.

    You are more powerful than any plan the enemy

    has against me. Thank You that You will never

    leave me or forsake me, and that You are always

    strong in my behalf. " I will lift up my eyes to the

    hill--from whence comes my help? My help comes

    from the Lord, who made haven and earth." (Psalm

    121: 1-2)  No matter what happens, I will look to You

    to deliver me from the hand of all that opposes me. I

    know that because I put my trust in You, You are my

    shield (Proverbs 30:5)  And I will not fear what man can

    do to me. "Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness

    because of my enemies; make Your way straight before

    my face"(Psalm 5:8) In myself I don't have what it takes

    to establish a formidable defense. I cannot protect myself

    and all I care about from the weapons of the enemy. But

    My enemy is nothing to You. And no weapon formed against

    me shall prosper(Isaiah 54:17) I know You have armed me with

    strength for the battle and keep me safe (Psalm 18:39) Help me

    to "cast off the works of darkness, and.....put on the armor of

    light" (Romans 13:12) Cause a song of deliverance to rise in

    my heart and I will sing praise to Your glory as You fight the

    battle for me. I will walk with You through the enemy's attack,

    knowing that Your light on my path signals my certain victory. In Your name Amen

HE has given us his word and His word is our armour and we need to stand firm and pick up that name the name above all names, JESUS. POWERFUL, POWERFUL, POWERFUL. God Bless all my sisters

    I offer a prayer for the family of Sueco.  May they feel the comfort and strength of our Heavenly Father as they mourn her death. May they find comfort in knowing she is resting sweetly and quietly, no longer fighting. May they find comfort in all the memories of the good times. May they find comfort knowing that she is watching over them, always with them.

    I want to thank all you wonderful ladies for so many prayers.  I'm not sure what I would do or would have done without this board and all my sisters here!!! 

    I got my PET scan results today and everything was all CLEAR!!!  The report said NORMAL study......never been so happy to be normal!  

    I know in my heart God has been in control of me......didn't mean I didn't worry and get scared.  And I'm sure I will continue to do so....but I'm really gonna try to just try to live and stop worrying so much.  That is no way to live......

    love and hugs and hope you all have a great weekend.

    I'm sorry to hear about Sueco.....I had been following her thread and I hate to hear of her passing.   I pray for her family......I think death is harder for our families to deal with than for us!

    hugs and love Elaine.......

    Dear Lord, Heal me I pray, not because it is my best interest.

    But because it is in Your nature to do so. For you alone are

    the Great Physician. Grant me the grace to remain faithful

    in the face of pain and suffering, nauseas and concern. if You

    heal me,I will praise you. If not to be healed, I will praise You

    be allowing my light to shine until  it is extinguished and You

    lead me to my eternal home. In Jesus name I pray Amen

    Genia, what wonderful news.  We do serve a great and awesome God.  We don't know when he will answer prayer but we know that whatever the answer will be in our best interest as it makes us stronger if it's not the answer we hoped for and increases our faith when He does grant our desires.

    Dear Lord, I pray for all my sisters that you will continue to bless and lead us through.  We thank you for your presence in our lives, both the good times and the bad.  We sing your praises loud and long.

    Amen.

    Dear Genia and Friends,

    I am very tired, I did the Relay for Life it turned out very good. I used my wheelchair and

    met alot of wonderful people. I sat next to a 7 year old as we got our pictures taken. She

    was fighting cancer, But was so happy to be there. Her mom and dad were very nice and

    caring. He is sending me pictures of us. Please pray for her fight, I wish I could be her all

    the time. God bless you in your walk, With God. Hugs Debbie

    Dear Lord, Please reach out and touch these wonderful people,

    Some are in need of your tender love, to help them feel your

    healing power. Bless everyone that is hurting, taking chemo,

    or just needing a friend. We thank you for all we have. Amen

    Genia- thank you for sharing the really great news! Normal is such a sweet word Smile

    Foot- I pray you are feeling better today. Wonderful to hear about the Relay, my daughter was doing it also but it was called at 11:30 because we had thunder, lightning, heavy rains and wind. This morning they had the closing as planned. So nice to hear you were able to do the Relay,  What a nice momento you will have with the picture. As much as I wish I did not have cancer, I am so grateful for all the good things that have come my way because of it. Mostly the people I have met.
