This is at least the 3rd or 4th group I've heard from down there! I've never been to Texas, but I'll tell you, I love Texans right now!!!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319511.post-69616155229581395252007-05-14T12:26:00.000-07:002007-05-14T12:26:00.000-07:00Dear Ben and Lisa,We are Sydney & Adam's aunt Chri...Dear Ben and Lisa,<BR/>We are Sydney & Adam's aunt Christine and Uncle Marvin. She asked us to pray and we want you to know we are, along with our small group at our church here in League City Texas. We're praying for a peace in your spirit as well as your complete healing from the cancer. <BR/><BR/>One of my (Aunt C) favorite scriptures is Philippians 4:6 (my translation) "Don't be anxious about anything, but in everything, with prayer and thanksgiving, talk with your Father, God. (and here's the promise) And THE PEACE OF GOD, which is beyond what we can understand, WILL SET A GUARD ON YOUR HEART AND YOUR MIND, because of Christ in you." I can just picture that guard pushing away the thoughts of pain and fear that assault us. <BR/><BR/>We live not far from the MD Anderson Cancer Research hospital. It's one of the finest (if not the finest) in the world. If you and your family decide you'd like to seek help there, you've got "family" close by. You're welcome to stay with us...we'll help in any way possible. <BR/><BR/>You're all in our prayers.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Marvin and Christine ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319511.post-61209803051971479052007-05-14T12:25:00.000-07:002007-05-14T12:25:00.000-07:00I've been enlisting the prayer help of my mom's gr...I've been enlisting the prayer help of my mom's group (an awesome bunch of people) and my group down here.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure you've got upwards of a hundred people praying for you now. Feel loved. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755383778171419021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319511.post-14591857318865795772007-05-14T11:13:00.000-07:002007-05-14T11:13:00.000-07:00Here's a verse the Lord gave me this morning:"See ...Here's a verse the Lord gave me this morning:<BR/><BR/>"See now that I, I am He,<BR/>And there is no god besides Me;<BR/>It is I who put to death and give life.<BR/>I have wounded and it is I who heal, <BR/>And there is no one who can deliver from my hand. (Deut. 32:39)<BR/><BR/>This speaks to me of the sovereignty of God Almighty in our lives. To someone who doesn't know Him the above words could be terrifying, but He is also the God who said:<BR/><BR/>"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;<BR/>I have called you by name, you are Mine!<BR/>When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;<BR/>And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.<BR/>When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,<BR/>Nor will the flame burn you.<BR/>For I am the Lord your God,<BR/>The Holy One of Israel, your Savior." (Is. 43: 1b-3a)<BR/><BR/>and:<BR/><BR/>"Do not fear, for I am with you;<BR/>Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.<BR/>I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, <BR/>Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Is 41:10)<BR/><BR/>Benjamin--son of the right hand, who is upheld in the righteous right hand of our Great God.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319511.post-62721294252577496322007-05-14T07:31:00.000-07:002007-05-14T07:31:00.000-07:00Ben, I understand completely.
