A PRAYER TO PRAY

The prayer:

Father,Thank you for each and every day you have blessed us here on earth. Thank you for your tender mercies. Thank you for giving us friends and family to share these joys with. I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those I care deeply for who are reading this right now. Where there is joy, give them continued joy, Where there is pain; give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence. Where there is need, fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings In Jesus' name Amen.

ANNOUCING A TRUE MIRACLE FROM GOD

I received word yesterday that a few of our local church members and some other pastors from the district visited Rick Spell (my former pastor) in the hospital. They all gathered, laid hands and anointed Rick with Holy Water and began to pray. He responded and awoke from his coma.

The doctors are amazed. He is doing well, has been moved from ICU to a intermediate caare room and is gaining his strength back quickly.........GLORY TO GOD.

On another note, my sister Janet's mother-in-law, who has just completed her year long chemo treatments for breast cancer; has now been diagnosed with colon cancer. Please put the Lentz family on your prayer lists.

More prayers needed

I just received word, that my former Pastor Rick Spell has slipped into a coma. I do not know the details of his illness, but God knows and he can reverse the problems. Please add him & his family to your prayers.

PRAYERS, PRAYERS AND MORE PRAYERS NEEDED

Let me begin this post with " WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD"

I want everyone to pray for our entire family. We have two members of our family going through some really tough medical battles.

On September 16th we were once again devastated at the results of Dale's MRI scans. He now has metastatic bone cancer involving his entire spine, pelvis (both hips, the right being fully involved) and his femurs. Dale has been has been having some severe pain in his right hip for the past 2 months, this prompting the MRI. He is beginning radiation to his pelvic area, this is mainly for pain management. We visit his oncologist tomorrow for what we hope is news of how they plan to treat with chemotherapy. We are asking for EVERYONE that prays to add our family to your prayer lists.

We do not know what lies ahead.............but we know God is with us and will give us strength, grace and his abiding love through all we face.

Dale is once again being strong, he has never given up and continues to be the strong person he has always been. He knows God has a plan for his life, and he wants to be a testimony for whoever God puts in his path.

Our other prayer request is for my dad, he is facing some challenges with his health and needs our prayers.

Please visit Dale's Caring Bridge website http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/dalebumgarner

We appreciate all your prayers and thoughts.

Love in our Jesus Christ.

WHIRLWIND

YES I KNOW IT HAS BEEN OVER 5 MONTHS SINCE MY LAST POST.



I think the main reason for my absence is due to the fact that since obtaining an added work load at my office, (I am now managing our Huntsville AL office remotely) the last thing I want to do is sit and type on the computer.



But there have been so many changes in our lives recently that I thought I would share some and also put in a very much needed prayer request.

FIRST THE GOOD :

Dale has had 3 CT & Bone scans in the past 4 months and all have been great..........no new tumors or cancer. THANK YOU LORD JESUS.

Little Macie is getting to be quite the little character,she will soon be 7 months old. She is almost crawling, cutting teeth, rolling, rolling and did I say rolling on the floor. She loves all men (OH NO!!) she has the sweetest smile and those flirty eyes when her daddy, papa and any other male enters the room. GOD IS SO GOOD.

Keeley my oldest daughter has finally decided to seek the answers to her fertility issues. She was scared to go to a fertility doctor for fear of the dreaded, "you will never be able to bear a child". She is now in the first stages of treatment, seems the diabetic drug Glucophage can aid in becoming pregnant, this is treating her ploy cystic ovarian syndrome, they seem to think is the main culprit to infertility. If this is not successful then more testing and more treatments. PLEASE PRAY FOR KEELEY AND DEWEY.

NOW FOR SOME NOT SO GREAT NEWS

My youngest daughter Sarah and her husband are in the process of divorcing. This is a very shocking and disappointing (to say the least) event in our lives and family. There are so many "bad" issues involved with this.................we all need every ones prayers, God knows all the details of this life changing event and he can fix it all..........PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY.

As you can read there are many things that have changed and are changing, and the only solution to them is PRAYER, PRAYER AND PRAYER.

Until next time (who knows how long) please remember us all in your prayers.
