Prayers for Weldon

My brother in law Weldon has recently found out  that he has cancer. This is a report from his wife Kay. Please read and by all means Please keep them in your prayers.
FB friends please keep my husband Weldon in your prayers. He will be admitted Sunday to Duke hospital for surgery on the 30th to remove a Squamous Cell Carcinoma from his face. Because of the stints that was put in in March the medicine effient he will have to come off from for 5 days before surgery, so they will have to keep his blood checked every six hours. He will have to have some radiation treatments we are told. Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you.
Thanks all and as usually Willard and I wish you all health and happiness. May God bless and save.

For Paula and all persons fighting cancer.

One of my Facebook friends (Paula) found out today that her CT scan came back with unfavorable results. My heart goes out to her because I know just how it Feels. My CT scans have been coming back unfavorable for the last three times. It's discouraging when you know that the chemo they have you on is only 20% effective. When I first started chemo, I was on carboplatin and Taxol which was 70% effective. When she took me off of them, because she thought I had an allergic reaction, she put me on a pill that was only 15% effective. When that didn't work it was from one chemo to another which all were only 20% effective. If my CT scan comes back unfavorable, she will change the type of chemo but it will only be 20% effective. It's so disheartening to me and I know it is to Paula and all the rest who are fighting cancer daily.

But all in all, when you look at it in a true sense leaving percentages out. You come to the true understanding that God has this all in His hands. So it does not make any difference whether percentage say 20% or even 100%. God's will, will be done. And as I have said many times that's what my wants are, God's will, and not my own. God has his plans for each and every one of us. And although we may not agree with what God's will is for us in our lives. If we are true Christians, and if we truly love God, then we must accept his will and be glad in doing so.

We however, pray for strength to endure whatever we must endear sometimes hourly but positively day by day. A person never knowing the side effects from radiation/chemo can not possibly understand what we go through. It's very seldom for many of us cancer patients to have a good day. Our days are anywhere from so so to almost intolerable. We go through the motions of living. But we do hope, yes, we do hope for better days. Just so you know.

Romans8:28

And we know that for those who love God

all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his

purpose.

Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness, may God bless and may God save.  Please say a prayer for my friend Paula, she really needs our prayers and support.

When I think the devil has done all that he can to destroy me. I find that he's far from finished. You see, he doesn't just want to destroy my body. He wants to destroy my spirit, my faith and my very soul if he could. It's beginning to the a daily battle of revoking him as he tells his lies. The lies that he tells, any fool could see through, but as with Eve, he's very convincing, using true with lies in his ever going onslaught of trying to destroy me body and soul.

I just thank God that I am of strong faith. I think Jesus that he has me, and he promised that he would never let go. I can depend upon Jesus, my Lord and Savior, and I run to Him each and every time the devil assault's me.

It's bad enough to have to put up with the daily things of cancer and the other many things that are wrong with my health. But it's so hard fighting against an enemy day after day trying to hold your own, trying not to lose any ground. I need each and everyone of your prayers.

Corinthians 8:8 and 9

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; (9). Persecuted, but not abandoned; cut down, but not destroyed.

This verse is exactly how I feel at times.

Thank you for your love and support and your prayers.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless God save.

Willard and I walked into Eastern Carolina Medical Center yesterday morning, and as usual were to go on back to the waiting room at the lab for my blood test. The first thing I noticed was, a middle aged woman quizzing an old man about Bible details. She’d ask a question and then he would give the best answer he could. Every time her question was answered, she would ask, “would you bet your life on it”.  I sat there as the poor old guy was being quizzed by this woman, feeling so sorry for him. Finally she moved on to someone else. This time it was a very sweet looking, and kind of fragile looking older woman. The woman was blessed enough that the nurse called her to go have a test before having to answer the question the woman with a million and one questions, asked. Around the room the woman went, to this person then that, always asking when answered, “would you bet your life on it” meaning their answer. Oh no! She was headed my way. She sat down beside me, nooooo, I thought to myself. Don’t I have enough on my plate today without her? So there she went asking me a question. Well, I thought, I’ll humor her just a little. The more questions I got right the more intense she got. You see I have studied the Bible through and through many times and besides the questions she was asking were pretty simple. Then I saw where she was coming from. She asked what was God’s name. I told her God had many names. She rebuked my answer with There was only one Name that God should be called by. Well I won’t go into denominational stuff. But she showed me a verse in the Bible that had one of God’s names. She said hers was the only true religion and that we were all mistaken as to the Bible’s meanings on many things.

Well now you people that know me closely know that I didn’t stand by and let her demean thousands of Baptist, Holiness, etc, etc. What I asked her was very simple and direct. I asked, Would you bet your soul on that. And then I stated to her that I thought any religion or denomination that thought they were the only one that had all the answers was in my opinion the absolutely most sinful people there were. Needless to say she left me and everyone else in the room alone, “until I left anyway”.  I did see a few people give just the slightest grin as they heard my statement to her.

I really don’t believe any of us have it all right or all wrong. All we can do as Christians is the best we can each day. We all serve God in our different ways and none of us have the right to rebuke another for their different ways. I depend on God to lead and guide me as I walk my path through this life. I praise God. Without God I am nothing, and all that I am is due to His blessings on me.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Until next time, Willard and I wish you all health and happiness. May God bless and God save.

Her name is Helen

Yesterday while in the chemo room, across from Willard and me sat a lady in her late 20s or early 30s. Willard started talking to her and found out that she was from Wilmington. I thought to myself that was twice to drive Willard and I have. She was a very cute little lady, flaming red hair, cut short, and you could tell she had natural curly hair. And of course she had freckles all over her face that made her look more childish than she really was. Her mother who seemed to be in her 50s, sat quietly with her.


During the back-and-forth conversation I found out that she had cancer in all of her female organs plus her lymph nodes. She was having chemo and radiation at the same time. Chemo is rough, radiation is rough, so I could not imagine what she must be going through and how she must feel. She was telling me that the radiation was causing her a lot of intestinal troubles, and that each time she used the bathroom she wanted to scream. I can understand exactly what she was talking about because I have too went through that agony my first radiation treatments. I felt so very sorry for her, I almost wanted to cry.

I guess it takes going through the same thing to have that really deep heart felt empathy for another. I mean you can have empathy for someone even if you don't understand their situation. But when you know the real agony that they're going through, then I do think you have a deeper, heart felt empathy for them.

People that have never gone through cancer or any other of the many diseases and disabilities, really don't know what these people go through. It's not talked about, because it's too embarrassing to mention.
My heart truly goes out to this young lady. We all know that the rest of her life will not be easy. I just pray that she does not have any permanent damage to her intestines and bladder as I did.

The Lord led me to take her hand and say prayer for her before I left the chemo room.

I ask all my Facebook family and to anyone else who may read this blog, please say a prayer for this young lady. Her name is Helen.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, may God bless and God save.
Ps 103:2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Ps 103:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Ps 103:4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

God's grace is not dependent on deeds done.

If you share this post, God will reward you. Huh? Here I thought we were in the 21st century. Now I know that the Word of God is just as real today as it was when it was first written. But I have never read anything in the Bible stating that “ without God’s promise” you will be blessed for doing anything. There are so-called evangelists who are racking in millions of dollars each year because they talk financial promises. Promises, that doesn’t come from the word of God nor God. Neither can one get remission of sin by donating money. Nor health, nor happiness. God does say cast your bread upon the water. That means to give freely for the glory of God. But don’t cast your pearls before swine as some are doing, hoping to get a blessing from God. If you want a blessing from God…..go to God. I’m not promising He will give you your request. But I do promise that He loves you and will do what’s best for you. Many times God says NO ! Because He knows the future and He has a plan for each of us. We would do well to trust in that plan and in Him.


I worry so much about people who believe such people, such promises and things. We, being in the end times and looking for the glorious coming of Christ our Lord. It is also time for the antichrist to appear. These same people that are being fooled by such ploys from these not so Godly evangelists, will be quickly fooled by the antichrist. It breaks my heart knowing that. If you’re here and know who the anti-christ is, then it’s too late for you.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

We are not in the middle ages, and should not believe in folklore.

But as far as superstition, we are still backward people; some still unable to walk under a latter because of fear that something terrible will happen. Still keeping four-leaf clovers, rabbit’s feet and such, for good luck. So if you’re wondering why I never pass on those post on FB promising some kind of blessing. This is why.

Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness. May God bless and may God save.
