24 mo. old niece

[Mac71]

I have a 2 yr. old niece Shelby Grover that could use all of the prayer she can get. She has been diagnosed with Brain Cancer and is currently at St. Judes. On Oct. 20th doctors will decide whether to continue to treat with chemo or do an aggressive surgery. Please pray for this strong little girl and her Doctors. Thanks so much.

I have a friend who lives in Wichita. He was diagnosed with brain cancer 2 1/2 years ago. Father of 3 young kids, lead man in a ministry to young boys... he had alot of life in front of him. He underwent lots of treatments, some traditional and some not. All of the patients that went through treatment with him have died as of this summer.

Christmas last year he was praying... pouring his heart out to God. They were frustrated because the tumor had grown even with treatment. It looked as if it had won. But as he prayed, he felt God tell him he was going to live.. cancer free. So he stopped his treatments and told everyone what he heard. To say the least, most thought he was delusional. But he held fast to his belief. In April, the scans showed the tumor was growing but not as fast. In August, the scan showed the tumor had shrunk to nothing.

There are lots of stories- some good and some not so good. But all involved our hearts and lives searching for meaning to life, especially when life itself is threatened.

Father, our hearts go out for this precious little girl, her parents and her family. Show yourself mighty in this situation... show your hand of mercy and healing, peace and strength. Give the doctors wisdom to know what to do. Cause everyone involved to seek you with a humble heart.

In Jesus's Name.
