HOPE NOW IN HIM

Appreciate more prayers for Mom and all of my siblings. Mom's passing through a really difficult time of some intense amounts of pain. She has not really been wanting to get out of bed at all, except to use the restroom. Eating almost nothing at all other than a few bites of watered down soup (maybe), and she's drinking some sips of water and a juice box.

The Lord is faithful in adversity. He alone is our ever present help in times of trouble. We will look to Him and be saved, delivered, set free, and radiant...our faces never covered with shame. I will hope now in Him. Praise Him more and more!

WEDDING CELEBRATION

June 11 is the wedding day! If you have not received an invitation and would like to join the celebration please contact me.  

MET ME THIS MORNING

The other day had a confession/conversation with one of my sisters about seeking the Lord as I should. She encouraged me to once again wake early and let nothing steal the gift of meeting with the Lord in the morning. Even if that means fasting sleep. Excuses try to take over our lives if we let them, keeping us from seeking His righteousness, and emptying our hearts of everything that is trying to weigh them down. I awoke at 4am this morning without an alarm THANKS BE TO GOD!

Started out giving thanks and then reading the scriptures aloud --- I have never been so awake! Prayed for so many that I have not prayed for in a while. I am so excited and thrilled for the love whose MERCY ENDURES FOREVER! I have been so exhausted from the ups and downs that seem to never stop coming, and I am so thankful for those who have encouraged me to press in and press on. Much is ours in Christ if we will just look unto Jesus. Thanks for praying for me.

THE PAST FEW WEEKS

Might as well give a quick update while I have a few minutes to spare this morning. I apologize for those of you who have been hoping I would post something more than nothing.

Moved mom into a 2bdrm rental place on the 18th of March. Our friends were so generous to allow us to stay with them and share all they had until we were able to find the right place. Mom's last two days of radiation was delayed due to continual pain she was having in her chest as a result of the side effects of treatment. She was admitted to the hospital for two and half days until she was rehydrated and able to swallow again without having severe burning pains in her esophagus.

Wednesday Mom had another follow up appt with Oncologist. They're suggesting a different kind of chemo treatment from now until the end of her days. Saying that she'll probably only have a 3 out of 10 chance of making it through. Other option is so many weeks to live without any treatment at all. We're going with neither of those options. She's going to take about a month off and expect the Lord to intervene.

DAY SEVEN

Mom's on day seven of radiation. Keep lifting her up in prayer...
From day to day so much is going on, even when it seems not too much is happening. Must lay down my thoughts and every assumption, be still and listen to the truth. The Lord is my constant help and will show me His perfect way. Strength will come to those who wait on the Lord.  Please God help me to truly wait upon you.

FOR MY MOM

Faithful Father, Husband to my Mother. I am coming to You weary and burdened, accepting the rest that only you can give. By grace and in confidence I boldly approach You. Thank You that mercy and help is what I find in my time of need. You alone are my Rock, my Refuge, my unfailing strength. You are never late.

I will not be anxious about any reports I receive. I will continually give You thanks. I will cast all my anxiety on You because you care for me. I will stand firm. I will resist the enemy. I will take hold of and use every one of Your words to the glory and honor of Your great name. Sharp, Alive, and effective Your words are and remain. Suffering is only for a season. Winter never last forever.  I will awaken and arise with your likeness. You are the glory and the lifter of my head. My body shall rest secure. You are my hope.

Power belongs unto God. I will not worry. I will not fear. I will not concern myself with tomorrow. I am trusting you NOW. Your strength lives in me and is helping me. You are upholding me and taking hold of me with Your righteous right hand. All those that rise up against You are brought to nothing and are utterly ashamed. I will not be disappointed, dismayed, shocked, or disgraced. You are the great and terrible one that has accomplished my warfare. You are my God. You are with me. 

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.


Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."  Mark 11

Be gone mountain of despair! Lying demons of discouragement and doubt go to hell! Every tumor and cancer cell dissolve from my Mom's body and bow to Jesus. Mom, FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS! HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES and FORGIVES ALL YOUR INIQUITIES.  Proverbs 4

My mom will be starting 10 days of radiation Monday. The results from the petscan showed cancer mass on her left lung, spots on her right lung, and spot on her liver. She's been having pain in her side for weeks. She's back on oxygen bc one of her lungs are again trying to be shut down by a mass. Doctor mentioned 8 weeks to live. THE ETERNAL GOD alone knows her days.
