A Praying Family

With my precious neices at my side, I have just read and been "updated" on my Great Nephew Jedidiah Harper's condition - he was diagnosed not too long ago with a hugely long name... but basically it's cancer. He has had 2 surgeries so far and has had great test outcomes. They are no longer finding any cancerous cells, but nonetheless, he is going through 24 weeks of chemo treatment. His Mom has a blog... http://www.harperhouse4.blogspot.com/ if you'd like to follow along with us as Jed and his family go through one of life's unpleasant adventures.

If this has done nothing but to make us all so very thankful for healthy children - it has made us much more of a praying family. Prayers to our Lord and Savior will result in miracles!!! We've seen this too many times and without a shadow of a doubt, I believe God is healing Jed!!

Not only have we dealt with Jed's disease, my mother-in-law Mary Nell has recently been diagnosed with Microscopic PolyAngilitis - a vascular disease that can affect almost everything in your body. Thankfully, she is also on a treatment plan and is feeling pretty good. There is no cure, but we believe that she has the BEST care from great doctors and is also in the care of the Great Physician, God. One more diagnosis that took me off guard, but has made me more of a prayer warrior - is that of my husband Larry. He was diagnosed with adult onset Type 2 Diabetes. It is controlled with diet and excersice and he's going very good with it.

If you are NOT a part of a praying family, I urge you to become a prayer warrior for my family! We desperately need prayer and I so appreciate all the prayers from all over the world going up for my family. Praise God we have this direct line to Him and thank you all for ringing His phone on our behalf!!
