thank you God for aunt kelly...

I told my kids on the way to school this morning to pray for aunt kelly today...I told them about the shot at 1:15pm. After school, sweet meg (aka meggers) said she prayed for her aunt kelly. I asked her what she said...

"thank you God for aunt kelly. i hope she won't get sick from the shot. i hope there is no cancer in kelly's body...amen."

I love this little girl made by Him. Thank you God for answering meggers' prayer today.

Kelly has a CT scan tomorrow at 12 noon to determine if the treatment plan she is on is working.

1. Pray the scan shows results, however small or large, please show Your divine intervention.

2. Pray she gets the energy she craves but for the pain from the shot to be minimal.

3. Thank Him for hearing our prayers today.

4. Pray for healing and miracles.

5. Pray for jason, will, ben, sam and ella...always.

God will provide

Blessings have showered Kelly and her family her whole life. They are all grateful and praise God for those blessing, over and over. 


I want to share something with you that has been an inspiration to us. Please take five minutes to watch this video link from Matt Chandler, the pastor of The Village Church in Highland Village, TX. His words about how God is enough and He will provide through it all is a humble reminder for us all. Bryan, my husband, gleaned so much from this in 2010 when his life was 'interrupted' with a brain tumor just a month after Matt was diagnosed.

My prayer is that we can all continue to trust God in everything. He is good and will provide for Kelly and her family through all of this.


PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Kelly is going in for a shot to boost her white blood cells at 1:15 pm today. Please pray for it to give her the energy she needs with minimal pain as those cells multiply in her bones.

Blessing,
Gayla

 

praying for you too...

kelly is feeling so much better this time around!! She is laughing and eating and drinking. We may have to shove a little down her throat, but she is cooperating!! So thankful to Him for answered prayers.

from our devotion today--Don't take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with Me. You have Me on your side, so what are you worried about? I can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is My will.

kelly had a good long talk with the Lord last night. She told us today that she prayed for everyone that is praying for her. It took her a long time as she prayed specific prayers for each of you reading this blog. She must have been awake all night...and I am not kidding...she told us specifically what she prayed for...for so many of you! She also prayed for a miracle...she loves that word...miracle. So many miracles in her life. So many in all of our lives that we don't always see. I too pray for a miracle. I know He has a plan specifically designed for each one of us. I try not to question it. But my brave sister isn't asking Him why, but HOW can her life and testimony be used...HOW will He use her to help others.

She truly amazes me...how selfless she is. I look up to her so much. I always have. All of you praying for kelly...please know that is SHE is praying for YOU.

happy...even if it is unfair...

ben is such a happy, sweet, loving, smart kid. He loves his momma...so much. I love this pic kelly captured on will's 13th birthday at the lodge last summer...it's just plain happy...just like kelly... just like ben.

--A person might have to suffer even if it is unfair, but if she thinks of God and can stand the pain, God is pleased. 1 Peter 2:19 --thank you Valerie for this text...it came at just the right time today. No coincidence of course. He speaks loud and clear...some of the time.

Chemo kills cancer...but it also kills the good stuff. Such a double edged sword. Pray this 48 hours of chemo are not as hard as they were 2 weeks ago. Kelly's visit with Dr. Savin was good today. He reassured her. He is studying her case in its uniqueness. He is working toward the best outcome. He asked about the kids. He held her hand. He is on her side. He is a good doctor. He is a good man. We trust God has placed Kelly in the right hands.

Prayer Warriors...please pray for this:

1. Side effects to be minimal

2. That she stays hydrated and nourished

3. Lessen her anxiety so she can sleep

4. Ease her pain as the chemo is so hurtful

5. For the chemo to attack and kill the cancer

6. For kim, carol, grand, pa-paw, nana and pops

6. For Jason, Will, Ben, Sam and Ella...always

expect a miracle...

laughter is good medicine

Been a good spring break so far. Lots of good times with cousins and friends. Lots of good laughs...LOTS!! Ella's 8th birthday surprise party, scavenger hunts, fishing, golf cart riding, pogo jumping, apples to apples...so much laughter. And she feels good...almost like herself. So thankful to Him for that.

From our devotion yesterday--Learn to live above your circumstances. This requires focused time with Me...trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of the perishing world. only My Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer--

Chemo today. She's been feeling so much better the last couple days. God has given her strength and spirit back...but she is dreading the chemo knocking her back down. Pray for an easier treatment. Losing her hair is very close and she has a lot of anxiety about that. Pray His comfort will surround her and ease that anxiety. She is brave and strong, but scared....as we all are. Thank you for keeping Kelly in your constant thoughts and prayers. Pray for the kids and Jason...always.

thank you....

Thank you all for your love and prayers and your generosity. Kelly is overwhelmed. Our hearts are full with warmth and gratitude. Right this minute painters are at work... some dear friends pooled together to do a mini makeover on their master bedroom. It really is so hard to express gratitude...you just feel it. I hope you all know how much all of you...with your prayers and meals and carpooling and texts and calls and emails and generous gifts...mean to us all.

If you would like to help with meals, the calendar has been extended for 2 more months 3 nights a week. This has been a huge help to Jason and Kelly.
