    O Lord, You are our everything, Thank You for each

    moment that we can walk with You and not have to

    figure out all on our own.  And when we come to a dark

    time dealing with cancer and its side effects, Can we

    put our hands in Yours and depend on You as we walk

    through it together. We know that " the up right shall

    dwell in Your presence." ( Psalm 140:13), and that's

    where we want to live someday. Thank You that You

    Lord never give up on us. We are so happy that no matter

    what age we are, We will always have a purpose. Many

    of us know we feel secure as long as we have You to be

    with us, To give us strength,peace and courage to help

    us deal with each day as, "We will win in Our fight with

    cancer!" With You there. And when we are weak You are

    always there to carry us. Be with Genia, Jo, Mary, spar,

    kbugmom, Armywifenmommy, mmm5, Selya, and everyone

    else in this prayer line in need of You comfort and peace as

    they go through chemo, tests, surgeries and any other challenges

    We trust You Lord to remind us with You all things are possible.

    We thank You for all You have done for us each day. We love

    You Lord. In You name we pray. Amen

    Army - I will also pray for Joshua and your DH.  Hugs to both of you.  It must be hard to face this alone and I pray the Lord will give you strength to get through this and I also pray that God heals your precious son.

     Foots - As always I stand in awe at your faith and unwavering trust in the Lord.  I, too, hope you have a pain-free day.  You unfailingly think of others and pray for them.

    Good news - my uncle's lymph nodes were clear - his skin melanoma has not spread!  Thank you Lord for this miracle.

    To all who need prayers and healing, may God bless you.

    Spar2 - checked out the website - good job!

    Armywifenmommy - will keep the prayers going up as you learn how to deal with the diabetes.  Something else on your plate but God is in control and you will get past this.

    Blessings all.

    Ome who keeps us going when we become weary. When

    Foots - coming here is the next best thing to going to church everyday.  Thank you for reminding us that our Heavenly Father is always there.

    Army - I was diagnosed as an adult onset diabetic.  Its a balancing act between meds, foods and exercise.  The important thing is that he test his blood sugar levels throughout the day.  You will need to really support him emotionally as he is now "different" from the other kids.  Teach him that all people have differences and that he can always discuss this with you or your husband.  My niece was born with heart defects and rebelled as a teenager by smoking, gaining weight and doing drugs.  Good luck and I am sure he will do fine.

    Armywife, I had a feeling how old is Joshua? My son was 7 when dxed and have been dealing with it for a little over a year. Just this last weekend we did the JDRF walk and raised 5k for juvenile diabetes.

    I wish you and your family many blessings right now and can help in any way. Please PM me and I can give you my phone number as well. It is hard to go through all of these things simultaneously but you will get through it. I hated life for a moment when I was dxed and then my son all within a month, but I can honestly say we are all doing well now and happy and grateful for our lives. I will send prayers for your peace and healing all day today.

    I go to dr and also start a new trial tomorrow. Yes you guessed it I am nervous. Please if you will say a prayer. I know God is always with us. He has blessed me greatly and opened doors for me. I have been legally seperated for a few weeks now and it is difficult. But God has helped me make ends meet. My kids are all grown and have grands and they keep me going. We all struggle with many issues and must trust God in this. God bless us all and our families.

    6 months post-rads - met with med onc today NED.  He was very encouraging that my chances of getting mets anywhere are near zero; chance of recurrence in breasts very low.  Of course we know that things can always change moment-by-moment but I am trusting God with this news as I know it came from Him. 

    Kbugmom - blessings and prayers.

    Armywife - continuing to lift Joshua up as you and he learn a new normal for him.

    Dear Father, I am amazed how You number our hairs, Father.

    On days we are frustrated and feel like pulling some out, We

    must keep You pretty busy! You know us inside and out, and

    You surely understand us through and through. You share our

    pain when we lack confidence. You weep with us when we morn.

    You nudge us to show mercy to those who do us wrong. You help

    us find peace amid stress. Thank You for meeting our needs---For

    teaching us to rejoice during times of trouble. We praise You for

    peace of heart and mind. How awesome, the way You allow us to

    come into Your presence. How good You are to change our hearts,

    Father. When we are unsure, You encourage us. When firey trails

    come, You go before us. Instead  of worrying, We will remember the

    flowers and the fields and how You even see when one sparrow falls.

    How grateful we are that we matter more to You then these, For we

    our Your Children. We are grateful to that You are with, Genia, Jo,

    Patoo, Armywifenmommy, kbugmom, Spar, Selya,mmm5, Mary,

    kmccraw423 and others that need Your comfort and peace, We love

    You Lord and thank You for all the blessing You give us each day.

    In this we pray, Amen

    Joshua 1:9

    Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

    Armywife, though we may not be with you physically, please know that you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. 

    With that being said, isn't it awesome to also know that He is always around.  Wow!

     Instead of asking why, I will focus my energy on You

    and getting threw. But even more important than that,

    I will find peace in the truth that through You I will have

    eternal life.

    The Lord is my light and my salvation--

    so why should I be afraid?

    The Lord protects me from danger--

    so why should I tremble?

    As for me, I will call upon the God,

    And the Lord shall save me.

    Evening and morning and at noon

    I will pray, and cry aloud,

    Ans He shall hear my voice. Psalm 55:16-17

    Thank You, Lord, That You are our defender.

    You are more powerful than any plan the enemy

    has against us. Thank You that You will never

    leave us or forsake us, and that You are always

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

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

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

    121:1-2). No matter what happens, we will look to

    You to deliver us from the hands of all that opposes

    us. We know that because we put our trust in You,

    You will be our 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

    Ourselves we don't have what it takes to establish a

    formidable defense. " I know You have armed me

    with strength for the battle(with cancer) and will keep

    me safe. (Psalms 18:39). Help me to cast off the

    works of darkness and......Put on the armor of light"

    (Romans 13:12). Whatever we need to do to make our

    path one of safety and peace, show us how and enable

    us to do it. Give us wisdom, strength, and clarity of mind

    to hear what You are saying to us in the midst of any

    dark or overwhelming situations, May our life be a testim-

    ony of the power of Your glory manifested to us. Thank

    You Lord, We bring our friends to You---Genia, Jo,Patoo

    kmccraw423, kbugmom, Saint, Spar, Mary,mmm5,Selya

    Armywifenmommy and others here in need of You, and the

    caring and loving Father You are to all of us. We thank You

    for all you have done for us and leave this prayer, In the name

    of Jesus Christ. Amen
