Prayer for a family member

<< < (6/30) > >>

Marlene:
Hello I want to thank all of you who are praying for Teresea and my other family members. Now, I know why God let me experience the last serious illness I faced three years ago. It was to bring me here, he used it. I know, that he has a purpose for what is going on now. He is also, using here to strength me for my entire family.

Last, night alone he let me get out all of my emotions. I have memory's of Teresea because she lived with my family for most of her life. Then lived with me for 11 years after my Father's death. She is a child from a rape. I know, that none of us are perfect yet. But, when he made her he made it really close.
She is being strong for her Mother. What, I wanted to let you all know is last night I was able to sleep and you all know I have a painful life. Not saying there is totally no pain but I can bare this pain.

But, while in the shower God came to me. He asked, Can I walk on water" I said, yes Lord." Then, he asked can I move mountains. I said " Yes, Lord"  Well, he has moved several mountains in my life. The one he moved while I was in what should have been my death...He kept me conscious to watch him move it.
Normally, I would have been anxiety ridden, but I was not. Then, he moved a bigger mountain. He brought me in here. Now, I see how he can take any mountain and move it and make something good out of it. Well, this again is a mountain. But, I know no matter the outcome this mountain can and will be moved for his good purpose. Our, mountain may not alwasy seem like it is good at the time. But, I am going to wait to see what good will come from all this.

She will be operated on around 1. My Sister needs her because she is paralyzed on left side. But, God is greater then this mountain. There is nothing more important to me in life then my family and never has been. But, God is more important then all of this. He gives us people to love. So, we can become like him. He even shows us how it feels to give up our love ones or to watch them suffer like his Son Jesus did. This may become a big battle but We are not alone.

I thank God for all of you. Some, I have seen by pictures. But, all I have seen by words. These words of comfort that we share are all from God. I would not trade this family for anything this world has to offer.

I will let you all know as soon as I am able to get home. When, it comes to my family I feel weak. But, thanks to God I am not.

In His Love,
Marlene

Hello All! I wish I could tell you I have good news. She is through the surgery and will be there 6 to 7 days. He removed the tumour in the colon. If, he had not done this it would have ruptured. He did not have to put a bag in her side as it was in high intestines. The bad news is that it was cancer. The worse news is that it has entered the liver and pancrease. He said," it is a rare cancer very aggresive and it must be some kind of genetic type. So, this could have come from the mans side. You how know how her birth came about. The doctor said that being she is only 35 this will be really hard to cure. She might be able to try and experimental type chemo.

God has given me almost a pain free day. I was able to be comfort to all my family. Although, it is hardest day of my entire life. Especially, with my Sister so in need of her. I wish you could all know Teresea . Her boss told our family she is the best worker she ever had. She had been promoted three times at the hospital. She is showered with love and attention of all her co-workers. Of, all her family. She use to go throughout the hospital sharing her cheerfulness. All, kinds of people told us how she has touched her life. She has never held a grudge towards anyone. I am so bless god gave her to us. My Sister said,"out of a bad situation came the best thing in my life."

Teresea has beautiful creamy complexion with rosy cheeks and that is how she looked when we saw her before sugery. She was sitting there making out her medication for her little sister to handle for her. She was not worried nor did she think of herself.
She looked just beautiful.

Well, I have to tell you, I am not giving up. God can walk on water. God can move mountains. He can do as he pleases. I am going to just keep praying, but I know it is all his decision. But, I am going to trust he knows best.

I do not know what I would do with out you all.  We have alot of work ahead of us. Just keep us all in prayer that we can meet there needs.

In His Love,
Marlene
