    Heavenly Father, Be with Genia as she finds out ways to

    help her with her pain. Bless the doctors and nurses that

    they may help her to be able to enjoy life without more pain.

    Thank You for all You have done for her. In Jesus name. Amen

    Thank you so much for your special prayers, you are giving to such a great minisitry here. You are bringing comfort to so many suffering. I can' t tell  you how special it makes us feel to have our names mentioned in such wonderful prayers. Thank you ...you are a very SPECIAL individual.

    Genia prayers for your healing! I understand and want you to know I also had problems with Arimidex and Femara (continued pain) It took 3 months after I went off the meds to not have intense pain. God be with you today!

    I need positive thoughts and prayers for my daughter. She is basically homeless right now and it is tearing my heart out because I can't let her come here. The last time I let her come here to stay the cops ended up standing in my living room because she called them on my husband and told them he was drinking and driving.......because she was pissed at him. She also told ME that my husband had taken out a life insurance policy on me after I was diagnosed with cancer. Another lie.....but she is vindictive and hurtful when she is on drugs, and I can't allow her in my home and take a chance on someone going to jail. My husband has been my rock through all of my illness and has waited on me hand and foot when I was too sick to do it myself. SHE on the other hand never lifted her finger to help me in any way. Anyway.....I know God has a plan for her.....I just hope she lives long enough to find out what that plan is.

    Genia, I will pray for Kara, that she may be at her bottom and ready for help. Drugs only lead to jails, institutions and death and we don't need to see her in any of those places.  Has she ever been to rehab?

    Foots...Thank You for your continuous praying for your sisters.

    You are a very Special friend. Don't ever forget that.

    Genia...I have 2 daughters, even though I cant relate the problems you are facing with her, as a mother I understand.

    Good Morning Ladies

    Genia, I will be praying for your daughter, that she will seek help soon.  Prayers are going out to you that God will give you peace and comfort.

    I am praying that those who are in pain will get relief, those who are anxious or afraid will experience God's peace and those who are struggling will get comfort and encouragement.

    I am Praising the Lord because I got great news this week.  My surgeon called with the final pathology report and there was no sign of cancer; he said that the neo-adjuvant chemo treatments was 100% successful.  Thank you Lord!!

    Thank you all so much for your prayers, I greatly appreciate it.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Take care and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend.

    Jane she was only in rehab for two weeks and checked herself out.  She wasn't court ordered to go so they couldn't make her stay there.

    I feel selfish ladies....but I need some more prayers.  I found a lump in my mastectomy side a few days ago.  I went to the Dr. today and she is concerned.  She said she didn't like the way it felt and wants to send me to a surgeon to have it aspirated to find out what kind of cells are there.  Needless to say I am in panic mode right now.  I also have to go see a Rheumatologist for the bone pain.  I feel so discouraged right now.  

    Thank you all for your continuous prayers for me and my daughter.  I know God is in control......and I have to turn it all over to him.  Just very hard not to worry.

    Oh Boy ladies I really need your prayers this next week. My Husband was laid off today after a long waiting period we thought he made it through the lay offs but his job was cut today. He is in Medical Sales, and they cut many jobs. We are in a pickle our insurance was through him and this is very bad news. Please include us in your prayers for guidance and resolution. I know many are suffering hard economic times it is just another bomb dropped for us after BC, then Juvenile Diabetes for our son, then this. We need something positive for a change.

    Thanks!

    Genia I offered up prayers for you today and your family, when I attended stations of the cross!

    Dear Lord Jesus, there are such hard, trying times for so many.  I lift up all my sisters to you and especially those with special needs - Foots, Genia+daughter, mmm5+family, more...   My precious Father in heaven, we know that this is the enemy coming up against your children to see who he can snare and I petition you for strength to withstand his attacks.  I absolutely refuse to let him come between my sisters and your love and I claim victory in your name.  We don't know your plans for our lives Lord Jesus but we know that you have our interests at heart and this too shall pass.  Please just keep us strong and focused on you.

    I pray all this in the precious name of our Lord, Jesus the Christ, Amen.

    mmm5, Weds and Thursday about 40 people in my company lost their jobs.  Such a sad time.  I've had a headache for 2 days now.   My job is sort of a "gate-keeper" and so my team is notified by HR right after they call the employee.  It was so bad that one member of our team was offering to share her xanax with us.  Hugs to your husband.  Please let h im know that prayers are going up for the family.

    Genia, will keep it in prayer that your doc is wrong and the aspiration will return B9 cells.  Don't beat yourself up over not being able to allow your DD back.  Sometimes tough love is what is needed and until she reaches her own personal bottom you can only listen and offer emotional support but she has to want to be helped.  We can't do it for them.  I have a son who I haven't been able to contact in about 4 months.  My nephew has heard from him and thinks he may be on drugs also.  Even without drugs I would not allow him to come live with me.  Reasons too lengthy to go into here but I know it would not do him any good and would just stress me out.  And, he's barely 23, not like your 29 yo.  My DS knows about my faith in God and God's power and that I am always praying for him.  Actually even though he doesn't practice the faith he was raised in, it comforts him to know that I care and pray.  I'm sure your DD also knows, even if she won't admit to it, that you love her and are lifting her up.

    Thinking about all of you, my sisters, and my signature means even more right now because of so many needs.

    Blessings.

    Dear Lord, Here we are, Lord. We need Your help.

    There are so many who need You. We are stretched

    too thin. We can't do it all. We need to seek Your

    presence and wait on Your direction. In Your answers,

    We will regain the strength and confidence required. As

    we pause before You, dear Lord, We enjoy Your under-

    standing ways. Thank You for not looking down on us

    when we are discouraged. Thank You for Your promise

    that You will renew our strength and cause us to mount

    up with wings as eagles. Only through Your wisdom,

    guidance, and power can we run and not be weary, walk

    and not faint. Thank You for hearing our prayers and teaching

    us graciousness. You are our joy and strength. We are

    grateful for Your helping us to look up, take courage, and

    press forward. Thank You for showering us with Your much-

    treasured compassion. We praise You for Your love, insight.

    and direction, and for giving us the good sense to wait on You

    and receive Your guidance. Lord Be with; Genia and Jo, Patoo
