This is going to be a quick reminder and prayer request. We are going to Zion this week for a PET scan. The apprehension is very present here with me...again, as I have shared with you before. I know that God is in control and that He is going to see us through this but that human-ness is showing it's ugly head and trying to dominate my thoughts ---again!!! I know that God is with us and He will not leave us.
Please keep us in your prayers. Maybe we need to be more specific in our prayers and actually pray that the cancer will be gone. I know that God will have His way but can we influence that end result by praying specifically for something? I believe that the scriptures tell us that God wants us to bring everything to Him in prayer -- He wants to hear from us. So that tells me that we should express to Him exactly what we want and in this case, I want that miracle which is no cancer to be present. Please join with me in that prayer - that we will see a clean PET scan on Friday.
I will be making this trip with Arnie this time. My surgery was 3 weeks ago today and my back feels pretty good. I wear the brace all the time, even though I find it more and more annoying but I know it is necessary. I am learning to do certain things in creative ways because I am unable to bend over, so picking things off the floor becomes a challenge! I have gotten out of the house more lately - going to church on Sunday, going to the grocery store and traveling in the truck for an hour to visit with my daughter. That was all fine so I feel the trip to Zion will be fine but we will probably have to make more frequent stops so I can get out and walk around a bit.
Thank you for bearing with me as I express my feelings - writing this is therapeutic for me. I would ask that
you please keep us in your prayers. I will be back in touch with you soon.
Our prayers and love are with you and Arn always. I pray for the cancer to be gone. Love, Jim & Barb
ReplyDeleteI will pray for the scan to show no cancer. I know God will continue to take care of you and Dad, as He has been proving to us that He will do. Please keep your faith and think positive thoughts. You can never pray too much, so each time you have doubt, pray for that too. I love you!
ReplyDeleteSharon and Arnie,
ReplyDeleteI guess no one fully understands how prayer works, but we do know it does. I've always felt that if you want something you ask for it and faith is the positive feeling you get knowing your request will be answered. We will pray for the strength you and Arnie need to continue on this path and the cancer has been eliminated. Please know how much you and Arnie are loved by us all.
Love,
Pete
