Kathy's Hope - 42 days of prayer for healing

Today is the first day of our 42 days of prayer and fasting for Kathy! I'm overwhelmed by the love and concern so many people have shown in their commitment to dedicate a day of prayer for our precious friend. I pray that she has an awesome day tomorrow and that she feels the arms of God wrapped around her and the peace of His presence as her healing begins.

I talked with Kathy today and she has endured a rough several days. Due to recent PET Scan results, a biopsy was performed revealing that breast cancer has spread to her bone and to her breast again as well. Today, Kathy received an intravenous bone treatment to strengthen and fill in any gaps cancer may have caused. On Monday, Kathy will have a 4 hour MRI and brain scan to make sure that no cancer has spread that far. On Wednesday, Kathy will have a breast ultrasound and mammogram. She is hoping to get the receptor results this week so they can start her on meds that will shut down the ovaries. She is feeling overwhelmed but thankful for all the prayers. As we lift Kathy before the Father, I pray that she finds perfect peace beyond understanding and that she finds joy in the moment god has given to us. Ultimately, I pray she finds true and complete healing in the name of Jesus.

  10. For you my sweet friend.
    Romans 5:1 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

  11. For Power to Battle !!!! The words of Dodie Osteen from her book Healed of Cancer
    PROVERBS 4:20-22 THE WORD OF GOD WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE
    Give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart;for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

  12. As I began my day in prayer for you, the song "Satisfy me Lord" came to me over and over. "Satisfy me Lord, oh oh
    Satisfy me Lord, oh oh
    I'm begging You, to help me see
    You're all I want, You're all I need
    Oh, satisfy me Lord" I pray this for you - that He will satisfy you. That you will find a comfort & peace from Him. That He will satisfy you so that you can concentrate on this healing. That you won't be distracted by fear from the enemy. That as you read His words to you in scripture, you will know His voice and move forward with courage. With every new day, the prayers are multiplying for you. Xoxo

  13. Kathy I am honored to take today to pray for you!

    My prayer is a Prayer for Faith In Gods Word:

    Joshua 21:45
    Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house of Isreal failed; each and every one was fulfilled.

    Prayer today will be that God's word WILL come to pass not one word will fail!!!

    Rest in his faithfulness my sweet friend your warriors are at battle for you!!!

  16. Hey Mrs. Kathy,

    I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking and praying for you, your family, and Aubrey. I had dinner with your wonderful daughter last night at On the Border. I'm so lucky to have her as a friend, even in times where I forget my wallet at home and she ends up paying for my dinner :).

  28. Kathy, we are praying for you everyday and the kids pray for their Aunt Kathy every night at bedtime. May the encouragement and love shown from all of those who love you and the faith that you have in HIM bring you joy and peace constantly. We love you!! Scott, Kimi, and kiddos!
    What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?........For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31, 38-39

    Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him, tell of all his wonderful acts.
