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.
