    Isn't it just like God to invite me

    To put my dreams in His hands

    Forever releasing the grip that once held them

    Forever surrendering my plans

    And then when He is certain it's not born of men

    He calls for me to know in my heart whats not

    seen in my eyes

    So the dream never dies

    Dear Heavenly Father:  Thank you for our beautiful dayand beautiful friends.  Thank you for this thread that we can openly say our prayers.

    Lord, I come to You tonight to lift up Debbie (Foots).  She will be going to the cancer Asst on the 5th.  We are praying this cancer asst. can and will help her.  Please Lord, help meet all of Debbie's needs.  You know her so well, You know her needs.  You have given Debbie the ability to praise You in words, whether it is through prayers, poems or encouragement.  As she has lifted up many of our friends here, we come to You to lift her up.  She has been though a lot, as have many, many of our sisters have with this breast cancer. 

    I ask for all of this in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus.  Amen

    Dear Lord, I am lifting Foots up to you that you will give her peace in this journey with her med staff.  Give them the wisdom to help her Lord, to meet her needs in a way that will overwhelm her in superior care and understanding.

    My awesome God, I ask your divine intervention for Pam that you will touch her so there will not be the need for further invasions to her body.  Lord, please lift her spirits and encourage her to hang on to your promises.  This is a difficult road Lord but we know you are there, during the down times and the up.  Help Pam to turn to you when she is despondent so she can feel the glory of your love.  I claim victory for our sister in the name of Jesus, my Lord,

    Amen.

    Dear Heavenly Father:  Thank You for all You do.  Please be with those who are in pain, confusion, anxiety, discomfort, itchiness, discouragement, disbelief and loniness.  Wrap Your loving arms around them and let them feel Your calmness and peace.

    Please be with Debbie tonight, to give her the much needed rest, without pain, Dear Lord.  Be with her throughout this week as she goes to different doctors for tests and answers.  Give her courage and comfort.  Please let her feel You as You are by her side, lifting her up.

    Please be with Pam with her needs.  Let her feel Your presence as You are by her side.  Please be with our sisters going through their storms.

    Thank you for Your love of which we are unworthy.  Thank You that You do not leave us and that You are with us when we call.

    Dear Lord, thank You.  Amen

    Dear Sisters

    I am in need of some special prayers. I feel in some ways I should be able to solve this on my own but in many ways am getting overwelmed. I just finished a year of treatment in May it has been hard getting my strength back. In the middle of all of this the night before I started chemo last year my middle son was dxed with Diabetes ( he is 8). 2 months later my Husband lost his job. I have always had a very good job been with the same company for 16 years and have done very well. The problem now is I just can't take that high level of stress, I am still recouperating and trying to take care of my son and I just don't have it in me. My Husband got another job but maybe in jeopardy of losing it as he is so depressed as to what went on with our family this last year he has been unable to put his full attention into taking the bull by the horns. We found out today that he may lose it if he can't get some stuff moving. I just can not take the stress and am scared to death of what this will mean for my immune system. I know I should be thankful that I am ok for now, but my energy is at all time low and I just am losing hope for things to be good again.I have 3 beautiful boys and my BC was found early, I have a good career (that I don't want anymore) but I just feel low and scared so much of the time. I am a very faithful person but I am in need of a miracle truly, the big stuff keeps happening to me.

     I would appreciate your prayers.

    Come to Me, My dear Child, let Me wrap My comforting

    arms around you. Allow Me to hug the little girl within you.

    Here, I hold you close, rocking you as a loving parent does a

    crying child, I will listen as you pour out all your pain. As you

    tell me each one, give it to Me and do not take it back, I have

    broad shoulders and will carry them all. Yield to Me while I heal

    your hurts. Let Me take the fragments of your life and carefully

    pieces them together into a beautiful new pattern. It will be one

    that glows with enthusiasm and hope and joy, Even life's fractures

    will sparkle like gold from My glorious victories. Be healed, Allow

    Me to replace every part of your new life with healing and peace of mind.

    Your Father

    Ladies I would like to ask for prayers for my family:

    My nephew, Bailey, was dx'd with NUT Midline and Rhabdoid carcinoma a week after my dx.   He is five years old and these are two of the most aggressive and rare cancers out there.  He was able to spend the last month with family and visiting Disney World, Sea World, etc... through Make a Wish.  His pain over the last few weeks has been rapidly increasing and the cancer has spread through out most of his body now, please pray for him that the Lord comforts him and takes his pain away soon.  Also please pray for is parents, Mike and Cherie...they are hurting so bad right now and are so angry with God for what they are going through. 

    Also, my DH and I got a call this evening and his Brother was dx'd with prostate cancer today! Initial dx, so no idea as to stage and grade.  

    Please pray for this man snoring beside right now...he is under so much stress and has been such a rock through the last few months.  God has truly blessed me in all things and for that I am grateful!

    St Philips's "Swaggies" Prayer

             Heavenly Father, who watches over all Your children,

             with an everlasting and unbounded love, and who determines

             our times and our days, thank You for giving me this new day.

             Help me to think less about myself and more about You;

             less about my problems and more about Your love;

             less about my aches and more about Your strength;

             less about my loneliness and more about Your presence.

             I ask this today In the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord and in the fellowship of His Spirit.

             AMEN

    JO....I didn't start this thread.  God started it......he just used me as a tool to get his message out there!     Smile

    I'm so thankful for his goodness and mercies!  He has watched over me and given me what I needed to survive for the last year.  One year ago....my life was in turmoil and I didn't know which way to go or if I was even gonna live.....I was first dx'd with IBC.  Thank God he allowed me to have another year to be here on this earth.   And only HE knows when my time will be up.....it's really a win win situation!!!

    I pray for all of you....you are so dear to my heart!!!

    hugssss and love
