Kim's Prayer

"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." --2 Corinthians 4:8-9

my Little Rock appt.

I met with Dr. Laura Hutchins today. She is very highly respected among her peers and I feel privileged to have gotten a chance to meet with her. She's both a teaching and research physician in oncology and so she has a real clinical view of this disease. She suggested some chemo that Dr. Scroggin will look into. The best solution, hopefully, is that Dr. Cross can remove it and then we can start radiation and chemo combinations.

Until we meet with Dr. Cross in Fayetteville, we just really don't know what the next step is. With your continued sweet prayers and support, I'll be ready to take it.

Love, Kim

Kim,
Have a safe trip to Fayetteville, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. I know these are scary days, but you have definitely helped us all put our lives in perspective and realize how important our family, friends, and God are to us. If anybody can conquer this thing you can! Stay strong and we look forward to a good report.

Hey, Kim,
It's Mary Lou. Jane sent me your blogsite. Know that you have my prayers. Here's something I read today. Wanted to share it with you -

This week's promise: God will fight for you
Have you had a "Jericho" experience?

Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.


Joshua 1:9 NLT


Taking Jericho



Imagine this scene for a minute. You're a captain in Joshua's army camped a few miles outside the city of Jericho. You've seen the thick, double-layered stone walls surrounding the city and armed soldiers guarding every entrance. You've heard tales of the fierce Canaanite army and their ability to hold their ground in battle.

In the midst of all of this, an edict comes down from the upper ranks. Israel is planning to take Jericho. Actually, what the message says is that Israel has already taken Jericho, but Jericho just doesn't know it yet. The battle plan is really no plan at all. You're supposed to get your troops together and conduct a victory march around the city. Just once—for six days in a row. Then on the seventh day you're to march seven times around the city. That's when your soldiers can march in and take possession.

The next day you're marching around the city, and you can't help but hear the taunts coming from inside the walls. You know how silly this all looks, but you keep marching just the same. Because you know that God is on your side, and you've seen what he can do.

This is why God reminded Joshua time and again to "be strong and courageous." God has a way of working that tends to fall outside the norm, and he needs people who trust him enough to go the distance, no matter how bizarre the game plan. Courage is important to God because courage is a natural byproduct of trust. And the greater we trust, the braver we become. As long as God leads the battle, we can march in confidence, knowing that we've already won. God gave Jericho to Israel on the seventh day, just as he said he would. So,…what wall does he have you marching around?

Hi Kim,

This is George and Cristina Hamman writing. Dawn Barre was kind enough to share this blogspot with me. We have not seen you for so long ...somehow, we drifted apart over the years... I always thought you were precious Kim. I just want you to know that you have been in my prayers daily since I recently found out about your illness. I will continue to do so. I will pray for your family too. Dawn tells me your spiritual strength has been amazing, and you have been an inspiration to all around you. I admire that so much.
If we can help your family, please let us know. We would be happy to bring dinner over?
Again, please know you are in our thought and prayers DAILY!
Love,
Cristina

Kim,
I know the Lord can provide a miracle if it is His will. I am praying for that daily. Your positive attitude in saying that "everything is perfect" is an inspiration to me. I will continue to have you in my heart.
I love you.
Cristina and George
