Prayer request

I'm writing twice in one day! This is a new record!

Anyway, I received an upsetting (and encouraging) email from a family member today. She(Kathy) was writing to ask for recommendations on how to write a blog detailing her daughter's progress.

I went to high school with this young girl, Jenny, and was a couple of years older than her. In fact, her sister was in my class! Now, she has become extended family, a daughter of my mother-in-law's cousin. She has a 19-month-old son, Tyler.

She just found out this last week that she has breast cancer. She is scheduled to see a surgeon specializing in breast cancer removal/treatment, but the treatment path is yet unknown.

In Kathy's email to me, I was so blessed to read the firm faith this woman has in a faithful, loving God. They are trusting God for his support, his provision. They are trusting in him. I can't imagine the battle with the unknowns. It seems to me that this would be where the enemy would wage his war; but, as I read her message, I was struck by this statement (and I quote): "But God is Great. He has been holding our hands every step of the way." Wow.

I am writing to ask for your prayers. Even if you breathe up one more prayer, it will be one more that God will hear on her behalf.

Some of you have faced cancer. Some of you have witnessed it in a family member. I feel as if you may be able to pray in ways of understanding that others would not.

Thanks in advance for being amazing people who are willing to pray!
