Kathy's Hope Update - Little Suckers are SHRINKING!!!

Hello Everyone!


First and foremost, to God be the glory!!! Kathy's test results are in and the BONE TUMORS ARE SHRINKING!! Her counts are down and the doctor is encouraged that the current treatment is working. After a week off from chemo, Kathy started chemo in pill form again on Monday. She will be taking them for the next 14 days and then off for a week before she starts the two week process again. She also had a "bone enhancing" treatment that helps strengthen her bones again this week. She is tolerating the meds better, but the doctor is increasing the dosage a bit. Please continue praying that her body responds to the treatment and that she is pain and nausea free as she goes through this.

Kathy has also caught the cold/flu bug that is being passed around our area. Please pray that she feels better soon.

I am so thankful for the good news this week and looking forward to watching God take over this illness and remove it from her life completely. We serve an awesome God and I have seen so many miracles in my life, and I know that Kathy's healing will be one more. Everyday, He shows us His love and mercy if we just look for it. Today, I see it in Kathy and her ever calm, sweet and steady spirit as she walks through this trial. That alone is such a God thing and I am thankful for such an amazing friend and sister in Christ.

To all the prayer warriors out there, I ask that each of you specifically pray this week for continued shrinking of those "little suckers" in the bone, that the breast cancer is stopped and "shrunk beyond recognition" and that Kathy continues to receive an encouraging word everyday. Remember, an encouraging word is good medicine!

God is with us! Who can stand against us? Thank you Jesus!!!

Love to all

Kathy Update! Pray for energy, strength and encouragement!

Hello Everyone!

Kathy is feeling better but praying for energy and strength from fatigue. She recently attended an annointing service at church with a dear friend and was very moved and encouraged. Prayer warriors, this week as we join together in one accord in prayer for Kathy, let's continue to pray for her strength and increased energy and for complete healing and renewed hope in the Lord. I pray that God answers the prayers that are in the secret places of our hearts that hold our deepest and most sincere prayers for Kathy's complete healing and encouragement.

Love to all!

Eventful Week for Kathy & Family

This week, Kathy and her family have experienced a number of alleluia moments and we are thankful for each one. Sometimes in life , it gets to be entirely too easy to expect the negative and pass over the little victories that make life worth stepping out for another day. For the mostnpart, I naturally am always looking for the joy. My husband is constantly reminding me of reality and the negative spin life likes to hide behind at times. But I choose hope, joy, love and encouragement everyday. Zechariah 9:12 says that we should be prisoners of hope. God wants us to be so full of hope, so full of joy and expectancy that we just can help but believe the best.

I pray that we place Zecharia 9:12 on our hearts this week for Kathy and that we cannot help but be prisoners of hope for our friend Kathy.

As we all continue to pray I ask you that we all become prisoners of hope for our sweet friend Kathy,

Love to all

Early Riser Prayer Warriors Needed

Hello Everyone!

Kathy has her MRI for her brain tomorrow morning bright and early at 6:30 a.m.!  Please be in prayer for the wisdom of the doctors, the accuracy of the procedure and most of all, that Kathy can feel the arms of God wrapped around her in perfect peace as she goes through this procedure.

Last week, Kathy had a Mammogram.  Kathy's radiologist will be back in town this week to go over the results.    Praying for accuracy, wisdom and good results.

The oncologist has started treating Kathy immediately.  Some of the medications have been difficult for her body to tolerate causing nausea and fatigue.  However, she is working closely with her doctor to modify the medications and dosage to get the right mix for her body to fight this disease.  Kathy is feeling a little better with the modifications and was able to get out and about on Saturday with Russell.  She is still having pain in her back and hip.  Please continue to pray for her pain to ease and the and the nausea and fatigue to subside.

Kathy is asking that we pray specifically for a good MRI result, energy, attitude and pain relief.  She also said that she is writing down all of the Bible verses that are sent to her.  I am asking everyone to send her the Bible verses and words of encouragement as God impresses them upon your heart. As you know, tests are still being administered and knowledge is still being gained on Kathy's condition. She is still in the dark on the issues she is facing because the doctors are still gathering information.  God's word is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path.  The words He places on your heart could easily be the light that she needs for that day.

LET'S LIGHT UP HER LIFE!!!

Love to all and we will keep you updated.

She has promised to give us the update as soon as she finds out so we can share it with all of you! Keep Kathy and her family in your daily prayers, as we go about living our everyday lives they too must do the same, but with the burden of uncertainty, but our God is so Good!! With our prayers - we can lift Kathy and her family up every day - so our prayer is they don't feel this burden, they feel our love, and Gods Arms holding them strong - and they feel the calm and patience needed. Let's all have patience and pray for everything to be clear! We love you Kathy!

Please be in prayer for Kathy's Mamogram Wednesday

Kathy is scheduled for a mammogram Wednesday. Please be in prayer for the accuracy of the tests and the wisdom of the doctors as they disimenate the information and prepare the best course of action for our sweet friend.

Psalms 18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. In the bible, the hind is a red female deer and appears to be the most correlated of all animals God created. She has a special and unique tracking system connecting her body, her inner self,her instincts, and intellect where she is so coordinated that she can run with abandon, leaping sure-footedly over the rough, rugged terrain and she will not stumble as she races with the wind. Wherever she goes,she knows her tracking system is flawless and she can turn her face to the wind, and race and leap with wild abandon and perfect confidence to the high places where God sets her, to the inner recesses of her high places, and He alone can set her there where no enemy can find her. God built within us a supernatural tracking system so we can run this race with faith, hope and confidence, not cowering in fear that we will stumble or that the enemy will overpower us.

My prayer for you today Kathy is that God makes your feet like the hinds feet and that He sets you upon your high place. I pray that you face your fears today head-on and rely on the fact that God gave you a supernatural tracking device that is within you to find this high place and he gave you the feet to get to this safe place. And once you are there, no enemy can touch you.

These words spoke to me today. I hope they speak to you as well sweet friend. Love you so so much.
