Touching Stories

I can't be the only one who remembers these!

This is hard to say because just yesterday she was bouncing on our trampoline and painting pumpkins in the backyard. My 3 year-old Joy was diagnosed with leukemia yesterday. They’re doing more tests today, and we’ll be staying with her for at least a week on the cancer floor at Comer Children’s Hospital in Hyde Park. We’ve been told this is a marathon not a sprint. She’s expected to be receiving chemotherapy periodically for at least the next two years. Our beautiful princess... will lose her long, brown hair. This weekend I was supposed to be delivering a sermon about the Kingdom of God. Now I’m asking for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done in my daughters body. I’m contending for supernatural healing and strength as she battles this disease. I believe we live in a broken world but the mending started when Jesus came. I also believe that within the tension of now and His 2nd Coming that the Kingdom of God can breakthrough in miraculous ways. Would you join with Nikki, Cam, Ian, and myself in praying for Joy? Pray also for our doctors and nurses helping us through this journey. We’ve been a wreck since we’ve found out as you can imagine. Joy is very fearful and is not really sure what’s happening. She doesn’t understand why she can’t go home.

Please pray that Cora’s scans come back clean and the cancer is gone! She is such a strong 2 year old!

This is my little girl. She was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. She is now five. Her epilepsy is a lifelong diagnosis and in a matter of time it will only progress into stronger types of seizures. Her type of epilepsy is medicine resistant. She is on three different medicines just to curb her seizures. I’m asking for prayers for her. Thank you all in advance.
