The Power of Prayer

I wanted to update on a previous post about my uncle (you can read it here). In September, he was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. He has undergone numerous rounds of chemo and radiation and received results back from his latest PET scan this Monday. Of chief concern was the tumor in the lower lobe of the right lung and the lymph nodes in the center of his chest. The scan showed that there was NO cancer activity in the lymph nodes! All in all, it was a great report!



My aunt and uncle, with their grandkids.

My prayer list is long for friends and family members struggling with disease and lately, I hear of so many children struggling as well. It's so hard not to question God during these times, but to put complete faith in him - which is much easier said than done!

Isaiah 40:31 But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Another wonderful praise that happened last week was with Stellan and MckMama! I followed her tweets all day during his ablation and I'll admit, I sometimes checked in nervously and scared that their worse fears may be confirmed - but then - a miracle occured! The ablation worked wonderfully, the doctors tried a new way of reaching his path - and his heart problems are pretty much gone forever!!

Behold the power of prayer! Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
