Prayer for my mom.




This is me with my Mother Denise
(she is the tender age of 48). When I was home in Texas 3 weeks ago, we went to lunch and took this pic. Little did we know at that time that a week and a half later she would go in for her annual biopsy (to have tests run for Lukeimia, she had it over 3 years ago, almost died 3 times in the hospital and then The Lord healed her at the Doctor's amazment) she went back to the Dr. to get the results and found out that there was 66 percent Lukeimia in her white blood cell count which means it is coming right from her bone marrow like before.

That day Dr. Drikard told her, Denise you need to go and check yourself into the hospital right away (Baylor Medical Center in Grapevine).

"I most certainlly will not." -Denise

"Denise, you have to!" -Dr.

"I am going to go home, shave my legs, color my hair and THEN in the morning I will check myself in." -Denise

And so she under-went a full week of kemo to knock out the cancer, but it didn't work. Just last night (July 5th) I got word that on Monday they will be putting her on 3 different kinds of Kemo at the same time and that that day the Dr. found an infection in her blood, on top of all the other.

So if you believe that Father God hears your prayers and moves at the sound of your voice, please speak up, He is listening.
I have settled in my heart that it is His mercy if He heals her and it is His mercy if He takes her home. Either way His mercy will have the last say.
And pray for me to have wisdom as I listen and wait on the Lord. I need direction right now, when to go and when to stay. At this time I am at peace, as long as I don't let my thoughts spin out of control.

Psalm 27: 13
I would have lost heart unless I had believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Thank you to all my dear friends and family.

Family is forever, time with them here is only for a moment.
