Thanks Ade and Jean. I have felt more lead lately to post scripture as I know that is so important to read and hear every day.
I love the deer pic. Wow. what a scene and right from your house. So beautiful.
Jean, praying for your daughter. I can only imagine how difficult this has all been for her and all of you.
It has been a pretty crazy day seeing my pcp and then trying to get some more meds. Health insurance challenges continue but I am slowly making progress. I fell in May at my mom's and I am wondering if I broke my wrist way back then and it is showing up all this time later. I actually did the very same thing the first time I broke it about 11 years ago. So I will be seeing a hand specialist and getting some xrays as soon as I can schedule it.
I am to see my oncologist tomorrow and just noticed tonight that they made a mistake and scheduled it for way out of town. I have no idea what I am going to do and I was supposed to have dinner with a friend afterwards and can't get a hold of her. Life is full of twists and turns and I just need to hold on tight and know that God has this ALL under control no matter how wild the ride may seem.
I hope you all have a good night's sleep and feel encouraged and lifted with hope to tackle another day tomorrow.
Love
Nancy

Amen Ade.
Lita you will probably love this verse in the Message version.
Philippians 4:7The Message (MSG)
6-7 Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Joanne, praying you get good news at your apt today.
Love,
Nancy

Lord, we pray for Ethan who has been in this car accident. We pray that you will guide the medical staff and that you give them wisdom and efficiency and compassion as they treat him. We pray for your guardian angels to surround not only him but his family and especially for his parents who are so distraught. We asked that you put put a healing hand on Ethan and that you would relieve any suffering or pain or fear that he may have. We pray for an extra portion of your grace and strength for the family as you walk through this ordeal with them. I pray that they could feel your presence and your love during this most difficult time. I pray for Susie as this is so hard for her to see her daughter and her grandson go through this awful situation.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Susie, let us know how he is doing and how you are doing.
Love
Nancy

Susie, how old is Ethan? How far away are you from them?

I will continue to pray for Ethan and his passenger. I hope you can get some rest. I can imagine how difficult this is considering it is such a long distance away. I will be praying for peace for you and the family and for the injured that they can rest comfortably tonight and there will be good pain control.
Love,
Nancy

Susie, I am continuing to pray for Ethan, his friend, you and the family. Allow God to comfort you.
Jean, praying all goes well with this visit and getting your port out.

AMEN to Nancy's prayer! May the Lord bring healing to the injured and peace to you, Susie and your family.
Praying too for those in pain, those struggling with family problems, tough meds & treatments and insurance ordeals, those who right now can't see their way out of a dark place, those who fear what may lay ahead, those with marital problems, those who feel they have no strength for the today - let alone the future ... May our merciful Heavenly Father touch your hearts with His comforting love and may you feel His arms around you. May He grant you peace, comfort, hope and grace. Amen
The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace. - Psalm 29:11 (NLT)

Susie we're sisters in Christ first of all and sisters in this disease second. I pray that your grandson recover consciousness soon and recovers swiftly. Praying for you and your daughter for strength and serenity. Trust in the Lord above all!

Amen to what Aurora said. Susie we are here for you. This is a scary time and we all have been there at one point or for what ever reason before.
Praying for a miracle for the boys and for peace for you and the family. Waiting in a hospital is exhausting so I hope you will give yourself permission to rest when you need to. Let us know how things are going. I am glad you were able to fly to Utah. I am sure your daughter really needs your support right now. When my family has been in a crisis I find such strength just being with my family. I pray that you will feel that as well and of course feel the loving arms of Jesus.
Love,
Nancy

Susie, I'm glad you managed to get out to be with your daughter. Praying there is positive change soon. Like Nancy said please take care of yourself.
I had my port out yesterday and it is very tender but I'm grateful its done. Hoping it gets better soon. It would be nice to avoid operating rooms for the forseeable future. Love, Jean

Susie, I am so sorry to hear this latest news of Ethan. I can't imagine what an awful situation the family is in now. I pray that the God of all comfort will surround Ethan and you and your family during this most difficult time.
Dear sisters, I would appreciate your prayers as well. I have the stomach flu that hit while I was getting ready for church on Sunday,
Lita, love the cactus pic.
Mini, hope your eye is doing much better.
Love,
Nancy

Susie, there are no words that I can say except that I'm praying for you and your family.
Nancy, praying for you also, and as always my prayers are with all of you.
Please pray for me, I have an appointment next Monday with my OBGYN.
God Bless.

Dear sisters, please pray for my 23 yo daughter. I'm worried about her because she has slipped into a deeper depression. She will be seeing a new therapist soon...I've convinced her to try a psychiatrist this time (who can prescribe Rx's if necessary). She has been battling dysthemia (low grade depression) and moderate anxiety/depression for years. She has been resistant to trying anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds, but I think she's been suffering too long with this.
She was raised in the church, but since college, has become agnostic. Please pray for her on that issue as well.
Thank you for your prayers.
Nancy - Stomach flu is horrible! Lots of bugs going around. Everyone try to stay healthy.

Susie - No words. Just prayers.
My eye infection is better. Still a little soreness and redness, but much better than it was. So is the crud I've been battling.
I meet my new oncologist tomorrow. I hope it's a good fit. My former doc was my husband's doc 30 years ago, and then mine 4 years ago. I've never had to deal with another oncologist.
Blessings

Susie I'm sorry you're going through such a heart wrenching experience. I'm sending prayers to God for wisdom for you and your daughter on what to do and for the insurance people to be gracious about it. God, listen to our prayers, be with Ethan and take him in your arms if it's your will. Amen.

Susie, condolences. This is indeed tragic. I have no more words.

Susie, I am so very sorry to hear that Ethan has passed. This all happened so quickly and I cannot imagine what your daughter is going through. Our family went through this in January seven years ago. I know there will be this surreal period of feeling like you are going through the motions but I do know that God will be your needed strength. He knows your pain and your family's pain. Let Him comfort you.
Lita, praying for your daughter and that she can get help for her depression and that she will turn back to the Lord.
Mini, I just last week got passed off to my MO's new PA. Actually in my situation I think it will be an improvement. She seems much more relatable and receptive so we'll see what happens.
Have a good night dear sisters,
Love
Nancy

Praise for Jo's good report. Prayers for Susie and family. How sad. For Lita's daughter. Nancy I hope you are feeling better. For all here that Jesus will make His presence real. Please Lord, meet our needs.
I am grateful for the snow day. Here is a view of our tenant's cottage from our window this morning. Love, Jean

My dear sisters, I took a short break from always having cancer at the forefront and enjoyed doing some other things to keep my mind off of it. However, I have been reading and praying for your needs and I just had to write and say how sorry I am for the terrible loss of Ethan suffered by Susie and her family. There really are no adequate words but there is God and He is there to lift your burdens somehow.
May God's peace be with you all and may He lift the burdens we all carry. In Jesus name I pray.
Love and prayers,
Faith (in the future)

First of all Susie, I am so sad for your loss of Ethan and will continue to pray for Amanda and all of the family. 17... gosh when I look at the privilege of days we have been granted by the Lord I am just sad that he did not have as much time. My heart breaks for you and I am asking God to give strength.
Lita, so sorry to hear about your daughter going through such struggles. She may possibly return to her faith one day, I am praying for her and the psychiatrist that he will find the right way to help her. My sister was agnostic for a while and just out of no where started reading her Bible again and God brought her around, she does not attend church but has a strong faith now. She also had breast cancer so we have become very close. Anyway I hope you are doing well.
Someone posted a great post about CS Lewis on Facebook which was so encouraging to me but I can't seem to cut and paste. Basically it was from the Screwtape letters and reminded me that Satan loves to distract us from what our focus is. This world is a bit ugly right now but I am choosing to focus on being the change God has for me to do where I am planted. Keep hope my friends, God is on the throne and has much for us to do.
Jean how happy about you finally getting that port out! Hoping you get stronger each day.
Mini wow glad the hole filled in with your eye and hope it stops any more signs of infection.
Nancy, my Mom is gone but there are many hard parts about seeing our loved ones suffer so it is not always the same as when we were younger and could do things with our parents when they were well. So hard to be out of our routines too when we are away, asking God to bless you especially for your sweet care towards her
Joanne, I hope your birthday was wonderful.
Nancy to answer your question my son LOVES his teaching job, it is only until June but I am praying God brings a full time one soon.
Faith, glad you are doing ok! That is the beauty of forgetting you have or had cancer, I have learned we all are different in continuing to process the beast. A friend had bc in 2012 and now has Stge 4 and I have been praying for her. Sweet nurse with three kids. Asking God to help her, not sure where faith is with her but asking God to use me.
Hugs to everyone else I missed, that was a record for me to remember that much lol. Hope God blesses each of you today.
I am working on my doctorate paper so will be spotty for a bit but don't think I am not thinking of you all and praying for you! PS has anyone heard from Deb (Foots)
