Need some prayer for my love ones.

[Marlene]

Hello, My Sister who is paralyzed on her left side from a stroke has an infection. She fell the other night. She is not able to hold food down and her blood pressure is very low and she is weak. I would like you to pray for her. My Mother who lives with me is 88 and is very upset over this. Now, for the rest my Mother has to deal with. Jan. 8th I am to have cervical spine surgery. I have a huge rupture and some other ruptures. I have spinal cord compression and have been in great deal of pain. My Mother is beside herself. I know she wants me to get out of pain but she is afraid she may loose us both. I feel so bad for her. I know, everything is in Gods will. Its just very hard on someone 88 years old.

I  need to have the surgery or I could very well end up with permament damage.  I would appreciate your prayers and pray that God keeps her calm. This is a hard trial we are going through.

In His Love,
Marlene

Thanks everyone for your prayers. They are keeping my sister again tonight. Blood Pressure is starting to come up some. She still cannot keep anything down. She has a very bad heart, but I don't think it is acting up.

I am like Brenda. I do not like being put to sleep. Not that I have any control asleep or awake. I am taking care of myself and eating healthy. So, I don't think my diabetes will be a factor. Just, when you are having the spine messed up kind of scary. Not, sure how much I will be able to get on after the 8th, but I know you will all be praying. As, soon as I can I will try and let you all know how I am doing. I will also keep you updated about my sister she is one who always looked out for others instead of herself. Now, she has to be waited on. She hates it. LOL

I value all of your prayers.

In His Love,
Marlene

Dear Marlene, how difficult but I pray all of you will come through this healthier and happier. I pray your mother's fear to be gone and your dear sister a quick recovery. Your spine trouble has to be taken care of and I pray for all the doctors and you that everything goes well.

[Marlene]

Thanks Claudia and Judith and All: My sister is doing much better today. Her care was not very good. If, they would have kept her on fluids and the right anti-biotics she would not have been in there so long. At  the hospital she is in the Hospitalist was not very good. My neice who works for the hospital is writing a letter. The er doctor had her on fluids and antibiotics and the Hospitalist took her off.  Her meidcal doctor called in and got that worked out. Her blood pressure is better and she is not vomiting now. She called my mom and gave her the good news this morning.

I am so happy to have Brothers and Sisters in Christ who pray and leave me such kind messages. I love all of you.

I am not looking forward to the surgery, but if it can help some of the pain I will be very happy. Of course, it is not a surgery anyone would like to have, but you have to do what you have to do. LOL. I am use to pain, it is the unknown I don't like. I had a serious illness 2 years ago and God showed me who was in control. He still is and I have to remind my self of that.

In His Love,
Marlene

Hello Marlene-- As soon as I read your posting I offered up a prayer on you and your families behalf. I know it is difficult but rejoice that you are accounted worthy to suffer. I hope everything goes well. I have been under general anesthesia twice and what I tell people (that ask) is that I felt like I did before I was born--I had NO consciousness whatsoever-no time passing,no dreams, no anything!

Love all of you so much already!!!!

Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Dear Heavenly Father, my Sister Marlene and her mother are struggling with fear of what they do not know.  Of course, You know all, and You love them more than any of us can imagine.  Please allow Your Word to comfort and strengthen them.  May Your Spirit reassure them of Your Presence, and confirm that You are there to deliver them.  Because You are with them, they need not be afraid.

Steve and All, First thanks for your prayers. Steve, your message hit right to my heart. Today, I am sure it was My Heavenly Father speaking. He showed me that I have fear. I fear for My Mother, but I also have some fear for myself. I know, that no matter what would happen God would be with my Mother. It is hard on her as she is 88 and lives with us. She believes in him, but has a hard time with the truths I have been led to.

It is sin for me to fear God. He brought me here in a time of life, after a fall. I thought I desearved Hell. However, I know he corrects those he loves.  Two years ago I faced death with a sever blood stream infection. Being, a diabetic could have been ha very bad time for me. But, even with the high fevers and having to wait 48 hours to find the right medication for it he gave me peace that he was in control. I still did not know what the out come would be. Most would have been in a coma they told me latter. I believe he used that time for correction and to show me he is in control. He led me to Ray's website a few months latter and I know because I obeyed his correction he brought me through truths.

Steve you are so right. He is in control and is with us every where.  I am so blessed to know truths this time around. Now, I just rest in his hands and know that he will do what is best for me. His will not mine. Thank, for your comforting words.

Thanks to everyone for your comfort and love,

In His Love,
Marlene

Hello, Wanted to tell you all Thank You before I leave for my surgery. Last, night My Sisters-In-Law called me and told me wanted I needed was good prayers going up for me from good people. She is still in the church. I told her I had lots of prayers going up to me. To me you have all been a comfort. I just know you really pray and its not just lip service. I value all of you and will be looking forward to being on the board with you all again.
