    My mother is very very sick. COPD...on full time oxygen now for two years... and she gets pneumonia every month. Right now her temp is 103... she is on anti-biotics as always........

    She is the most incredible woman. Her heart is EVERYWHERE>

    She is only 65. I pray everyday for the Lord to spare her life a little longer here. She lives everyday in so much pain.. and she fights and finds the joy in the day... somehow. She is inspirational.. I cannot even tell you.

    Father,  you know what I want..and anyone who knows mom.. ( Nanci).. I ask that you spare her life and send her a healing MIRACLE. They only thing that can save her life and heal her is You. No doctor can anymore. Please Father, pardon my mom...

    If it is not your Will, then I ask you take her pain away. Thank you Lord. Laura

    Estepp and mmm5 - I lift you and your family up in prayer to our Father.  He is an awesome God who will bring you through this. 

    Dear Lord, Father in Heaven, I petition for all my BC.O sisters here who are in need of your divine touch.  We know there is nothing you cannot do and you have told us to ask.  We are praying here, dear Jesus, unceasingly, that your will for us will now play out in victory.  That these debilitating illnesses will subside and allow us to be living witnesses to your splendor, your grace, your mercy.  We know you did not promise an easy path and so we continue to honor and praise you as we journey, looking forward only toward you, our prize.

    Dear Lord, Help me fight this disease. Help me to take

    charge of my medical care and treatment. Give me a positive

    fighting spirit. Help me to say no when it is appropriate,

    remembering always to treat everyone, including the medical

    staff attending me, with the same dignity and respect that I

    expect of them. guard me from the temptation to resign to

    passivity, negativity, and anxiety. Surround me with people

    who care about me and who will pick me up if I fall.

    In Jesus'name,I pray. Amen

    Lord, I thank you for my struggles, as it only brings me closer to you. I love you so much for the joy you have given me in my life. Even what has been so hard, has given me so much. You always know what is right for me. I ask you to heal my mother and my friend Linda. I pray you watch over your girls here on BCO. I praise you for taking such good care of my friend Diana.. I thank you for all the B9 results I have been hearing about here on BCO...

    I ask you to please heal my friend Jill's radiation burns. She needs Your help on this.

    Pam is needing an end to her ordeal. I ask you to allow her reconstruction to work out this next time so that she can put this behind her. She is tired.

    I pray for the US Health care. Please help me keep my tongue on this issue if you want me too. Please allow all of us to have good health care.

    I pray for a cure to all Cancer. Father, only You can bring this too it. I pray it is Your will.

    Prayers and hugs for all who need them. I really do not like to hear about children w/ cancer, it is so devastating for their parents. The kids seem to be so resilient. My prayers for you.

    Thanks for all your prayers, my surgery went well and i am home now recovering.

    Thank you for your prayer, Debbie, it sounded like it was meant just for me.  Thank you, all of you, for your prayers. I spent my morning commute in prayer this morning.  I am trying to discern God's will for me right now.  I'm a little hard-headed and I don't quite get subtle messages.  He needs to kind of hit me over the head.  I pray that God will direct me towards His will.

    Dear Lord, look over Eileen as she recovers from a fall that resulted in a fractured skull and internal bleeding! She previously had a brain tumor that most considered inoperable, but you saw her through that. Please be will her, and all that are caring for her.

    Dear lord, I don't know your will but so many are dying and hurting please help them, please help us to do what is in our power to stop what pain and illness and unkindness that we can.

    Please hold all of these women here in your gentle hands, guiding all through to health.

    Father, Give me a reason for hope, I pray. Help me to

    get my affairs in order. which has less to do with preparing

    for death and more to do with preparing to live and serve .

    Give my life, If it is Your will, Bring me encouraging people

    alongside me during the days I feel like stopping. By the

    power of Your Holy Spirit, who dwells within me, focus my

    mind upon victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

    Laura....I'm sorry about your mother.  I will continue to pray for her.

    I pray for you all......God knows your needs and hurts.

    I posted this on my chemo board.....didn't wanna type it out again so I copied and pasted it.

    Hey everyone.

    I went to see my RAD Onco today and got some very good news. She told me I'm in complete remission! Those words were so sweet to me I can't even begin to tell you how it made me feel. I told her about my Med Onco telling me I had an 80% chance of recurrence. She said if I can make it to the two year mark without a recurrence, I would have a 90% chance of survival. After 5 years it will go up to 99%. So my goal is to make it to that two year mark!!! I'll be getting another PET scan in 3 months.....SHE wants it done. Then it will go to 6 months. She made me feel so much more hopeful than my Med Onco did. But I'm sure he was just trying to prepare me for what could happen......but boy did he shoot my mood down that day. He said I didn't need routine scans done.....they really didn't help detect anything any sooner than symptoms would appear. I disagreed with him. I feel more confident with her decisions right now. Plus he has moved.......God put him there for me when I needed him and now he has gone.

    In all reality.....it's God's call. I just need to turn it all over to him and let him work it out the way he wants.

    hugs and love

    My little child, I know you better then you know yourself,

    I have searched your heart and am aware of everything

    about you. My presence is with you when you fall asleep

    and when you awaken. I see when you come and go. I

    perceive the words you are about to say before you speak.

    I am familiar with all your ways. I go behind you. I keep

    My hand upon your head and watch over you, No matter

    where you are, I am there, holding tightly onto you. I do this

    cause I love you, and you belong to Me.  Love, Your Heavenly Father

    Genia.. wonderful news!

    My dh works with an Oncologist.. ( she is not mine and she has nothing to do with my treatment).. she told him about a month ago that when their patients get to the two year mark, cancer free, they ( the oncologists) stop worrying about them.. as this is when they feel things are clear...

    So ladies..... WE ARE GETTING CLOSE! Genia... you are gonna MAKE IT GIRL!

    Thank you all so much for your prayers for my dear mother. She is still in the hospital and we hope to find out more tomorrow. She is out of pain tonight. ( all the prayers for no pain did it..Thank you)

    Love you girls!

    Bless you all this day and forever!
