"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

We got good news!

The latest combination of chemo worked! It made the cancer smaller and now we can move on to the next steps! I'll meet with the oncologist tomorrow and work out what I'm going to have to do next: more chemo? surgery? radiation? what order?

At least there's progress! God answers prayers!

Mark and I are going out to grab a bite and enjoy hot and humid Houston. Thanks for all of your prayers. They're being answered!

Praying With Power (Charles Stanley Devotional)



James 5:13-18


Have you ever watched a runner near the end of a race? Every muscle strains with the athlete’s desire to finish first. The moment is full of intensity and determination. This is the same kind of fervent desire God wants to see in the believer’s prayer life. “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much” (James 5:16).



Believers sometimes use key phrases— “in Jesus’ name” or “if it is Your will”—as if the expressions were enchanted. People convince themselves that if a certain phrase is used, God will surely be pleased and answer the petition. But strength is not found in the words we say because the Lord cannot be forced to do anything outside His will. The power of prayer is in God’s reaction. He responds to petitions of the righteous by releasing His supernatural energy toward the object of their concern.



A prayer less person is a powerless person. Those Christians who devote little time to communicating with the heavenly Father can’t expect to see dramatic results. God’s power is released in response to our zealous desire for His intervention. A fervent petitioner, believing his Lord will intercede, falls on his knees, determined to pray through every barrier that Satan erects. He stops only when God answers or if the Father makes clear that the request is outside His will.



Wise believers devote time and energy to requests of great importance. Through our relationship with Christ, we have been made righteous, which means that we have the opportunity to tap the Lord’s supernatural power through prayer.

Oh I believe in the power of prayer! Thanks be to God--Kim I'm Elated- Histatic-Kicking my heels up and praising God for his perfect plan! Love you and can't wait to celebrate! Face Up!

wonderful news. I know you are so encouraged! you are an inspiration to so many. How about Houston humidity?? unbelieveable isn't it? now that you know the chemo is working I hope your plan and path are clear. I can't help but think of Michelle Edwards and her upcoming battle. You will be her example of faith and courage! i loved your comment about God loving your children more than you do. What a thought! God really will take care of us, no matter what our circumstance!
