    Remember Jane in prayer today as she goes to see her surgeon.  I pray she feels God's presence with her today and knows in her heart that that whatever happens is in God's will........not ours.

    I am thinking of the song.....Praise him in ths storm.  Whatever the storms of our life are.....we have to hold hope that we are right where we are supposed to be that day.

    love and prayers for you beautiful sisters of mine

    Dear Lord, Bless our wonderful sister Jane as she has her surgery.

    Guide the Dr's hands as You hold Jane's hand and comfort her.

    We love her Lord and prayer that surgery come out well. As we know,

    Your will be done. We love You Lord and thank You for being with Jane.

    In Your name we pray, Amen

    Praying for all and looking forward to hearing from Jane and how she made out today.

    LJ, yes, at one point Jesus is in the boat during a storm but there's another scripture where He is out of the boat and we have to step out on faith to be with Him.  That's what I want to do, put all my faith in Him no matter what the storm.  But, hmmmm, staying in the boat, safe and sound, hmmmmmmmm, yeah, I like that too!

     Dear Lord Father in heaven, grant each sister here peace and blessings abundant.  Lord, I lift up all my bc.o sisters, regardless of their belief system and ask for peace, security and healing for them.  We are commissioned to spread your Word throughout the earth but you also let us know that we only need to plant the seed and you will do the increase.  So we have done that dear Father, in your name.  Our hearts are heavy for those who don't know you but we know that we are not responsible for the choices of others and we move on leaving them on the altar before you.  Touch them Lord; I ask in the precious name that is music to my ears, Jesus Christ.

    Amen

    I saw the surgeon this afternoon.  She showed me the CT scan.  I was impressed that she was able to access the hospital films from her office.  The "thing", whatever it is, is around some surgical clips.  She doesn't want to do anything until after the PET Scan.  My onc's office is only open Mon, Wed, Fri, so nothing got done today.  I'll be on them in the morning.  The surgeon said that if there was even one cancer cell left, it could grow.  On the other hand, she said it could be something that started with an "n".  I want to say neuroma, but I don't think that's it.  If it''s that, she said it would just come back if she removed it.  I asked her what they would do for the pain if that's what it was and she said they would deal with that with medications....I don't see that happening.  I told God this afternoon that I thought I should just take my head off, stick my fingers up my nose, and roll it down a bowling alley.  I've got so much going on in there right now, it's just spinning!

    Jane.. does this lump HURT? Usually anything malignant .. that is small and just starting out again... or in the first place.. DOES NOT HURT...

    spinning is what we do... it is not fair.. but it is what we do. AND.. we pray together to give eachother strength.

    I will continue prayer for you!

    The lump, itself, does not hurt, but whatever it is pushing on, does.

    Jane, you just keep that head right where it's at.  God goes through your head to your heart (or is it the other way around?) and needs you to be able to stay in prayer with us until this is resolved.  I don't think that guy in your avatar wants to walk around with a headless body either.

    Lord, our Father in heaven, we hold Jane_M up to you for peace through this "bump" in the road.  We know the road is twisted Lord and it's end defies our view but we keep taking our steps in faith and leave it all to you.

    God Bless my sisters.

    TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART; AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING .  IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.       Proverbs 3: 5,6

    God always gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him.....

    Laura, I pray that you did not take my decision personally.  Dear sister, nothing would give me more pleasure than to spend some time together but this is not the time and only God knows what is ahead for me and it does not include a trip.   Hopefully we will plan another reunion next year.  You are in my prayers.  I just know you are OK and the doctors are just being "doctors"....

    Love in Christ

    Linda

    Jane, many are praying for you. Many!

    Oh Linda... I did not take it personally. It just saddens me. I know I am ok about the bones too... I just wish ANYONE would understand the pain rads can cause. Most of us do need radiation. So it saves lives. BUT.. when SE come from it... it sure should be documented by NOW!

    ladies

    I am spending my day in continuous prayer for our fears. One thing I really hit upon today is that anxiety is such a waste of time, We should be happy, sad, frustrated, elated, but anxiety living in our heads the what ifs is just irrelevant. Of course I do it all the time and I am praying to let it go, but one thing that is helping to bring peace is to know we are never alone no matter what happens we are NEVER ALONE. If we can let our minds be silent long enough there are angels and light everywhere.

    I pray for all of you today that are waiting for results and that are in pain. It just messes with the living that we want to do, and I pray you can get to a peaceful place in order to have some beautiful living.

    Peace be with you ladies

    and special prayers for Laura, Jane, Genia, Debbie, Heidi and all of you trying to live peacefully.
