Prayer Request

[Allinall]

Hey Guys!  Once again, I blow in.  Nice to be able to do so and drop a request.     Here's the deal: My wife and I have some good friends from our church that learned a couple of weeks ago the she, Kathy, has breast cancer.  Since that time, it's gone from stage 3-B to 4 in the diagnosis process.  They're checking the results from her PET scan to see if the areas they found are previous injuries, or if the cancer has spread.  If so, the cure is out the "medical" door, and they can only hope for remission.  She's quite the example of trusting in the Lord at this point.  So's her husband, Al.  They just need a whole lot of prayer lifted up on their behalf.  God heals.  And we ask Him for that.  But also, that whatever God's using this trial in their lives for will work.  They have alot of unsaved family that are being touched by this, and by her testimony through it.  They're very willing to follow God down this path, so pray for faithfulness on their part through it.

It breaks your heart.  They just had a little boy about a year ago, and have a 7 year old daughter.  So pray for them too, if you would.  I'll keep everyone up to date as best as I can.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated.  So lift them up in your churches tomorrow, and in your homes tonight.  I've seen God do wonders when His people get together to pray.  He'll work wonders through this, though we might not know exactly what those wonders are until eternity.

His,

Kevin

Thanks Tom!  I told them Sunday that I'd posted this, and they were very thankful.  As for me, Me and Mine are doing great.  September's coming and our new baby girl with it.     Right now, we're just trying to keep our knees uncalloused.  God's giving us alot to pray for others about these days.  That's good, but the empathy part just makes ya wanna cry.  And for a guy, that ain't so cool!     Anywho...blessed be the name of the Lord.   

His,

Kevin

Sweet!  My 3 fav mods are prayin' for them!  That, seriously, is a blessing.  One for which I am personally very grateful.  Thanks Bro!     I believe Al said they'd know the results this Wednesday, so I'll keep everyone posted as soon as I hear anything.

Hello Allinall,

Brother Kevin, CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby. This is such a wonderful time. I will also be praying for the health of your wife and new baby. I'm a grandfather again with a third baby boy, and he's a keeper. He's three months old now, and I think that he's pretty partial to grandpa. He's a happy little guy, and I can get him to laugh just by talking to him. Of course, that might have something to do with me looking funny.   

Love In Christ,
Tom

Praying for this family, too.

Thank you very much.

That's great Tom!  8 weeks and I'll get to see her...unless she tries coming earlier...

[Allinall]

Well.  What can I say?  Praise the Lord.  Her tests came back.  The cancer has spread to her spine and is in the bone.  There are 2 spots of cancer in her lung, and they now have suspicion of it having reached her liver.  They're waiting for the tests to determine if it's gone that far.  They've taken her off of Chemo, and I'm unsure as to what other things they're planning to do for now.

They're both doing well, but it's hit them very hard.  They're trusting God, but feel very overwhelmed.  Please pray for strength for them both, for rest and comfort through this, and for the healing I've already requested.  We ask God, and sometimes He says no.  We just have to praise Him as much when He says no as when He says yes.

Thanks for your continued prayers on their behalf.   

His,

Kevin

Brother I will keep my prayers going for Kathy and her family.

[Soldier4Christ]

I will continue praying for this young lady and her family as well.

[Allinall]

Thanks Brothers!

UPDATE:

Praise the Lord!  Her first chemo treatment reduced the lump in her breast by about half, and caused it to detach itself, which helps the fear of continued spreading.  They're giving her this week off of chemo for healing, but are going to attack it again next Wednesday.  They're starting her on a drug to work on her hormones, as that's where this cancer is most aggressive.  That, coupled with the chemo, they hope will put her into remission.  The spots on her liver they're pretty sure are cancerous, and are waiting for the results from her next chemo treatment to verify.

All in all, she's doing pretty good.  She's going to visit her dad, who, I don't believe is saved.  So pray for her safety and testimony as she spends some time with him trying to make him feel better.  As a dad, I can only imagine what he's feeling, but for her to be doing this speaks of her faith.  Her husband...will be playing Axis and Allies with me and another buddy tonight.  Poor guy.     This will be a MUCH needed release for him, so keep him in your prayers too.

God is good!  Whether He heals or chooses not to, He is good.  Praise His Name!

His,

Kevin
