Mom came home yesterday! Her room is covered in posters of scripture and pink balloons. She is so much more comfortable now and her positive outlook has returned (thanks for your prayers yesterday!). The weekend brought news that several of her lymph nodes were involved and chemotherapy will be necessary. This information was discouraging to us, but hasn't kept us down! After all, our God is bigger than a diagnosis and we know that He continues to be at His work. The Healer is healing and restoring! Amen. Continue to pray that Mom's cancer is gone!
With an eight week recovery ahead, we are looking for ways to continuously encourage Mom and to "drench her" in prayer and the promises of scripture. To those of you who have generously been seeking opportunities to help out, now is the time! There are two calendars for volunteer services: one for prayer visits and one for meal deliveries. Food will be wonderful and a huge help, but the prayer visits will be our true sustaining power! To volunteer a date for either of these two services, please see the sidebar to the right. Just pick a date and e-mail or call to let me know when you can come by.
Please continue to bathe Mom and our family in your prayers! Ask the Lord to fulfill His promises to her and to restore her health! We are so grateful for your non-stop, loving support.

My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:20-23

Sarah, I think this is a great idea. What a blessing you are to set up this blog! Thank you- very helpful. We are praying daily for Jan.
This came to me today for you:
Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
He knows you are currently "in affliction" and fear.But also you can be hopeful...

To Jan and her Family,
May you heal quickly Jan, despite the unexpected news about your lymph nodes. May your daughters and your extended family feel God's love for them as they care for you.
