Prayer

So....prayer works, in case you were wondering. It does, I promise. The Lord listens to the cries of His people, and I have seen that more this year than ever before. You don't always get what you want, but He always listens and He always answers. I am so grateful for the many prayers our family has received. From family and friends, to people who just read this blog and send out a prayer without even knowing us. I am grateful, and they are felt. Please continue to pray for our family, we have had many answers to prayer (including Mark getting a JOB...more on that later....).

But right now, I want you to pray for another family, my cousin Holly and her husband Billy. Billy was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He is my age. They recently found more cancer in a lymph node and discovered that it has traveled into his bloodstream. He is undergoing intense chemo right now, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. We are claiming healing for them in the name of Jesus, and I ask that you would too. We know our Heavenly Father can heal him, but we pray that it is HIS WILL that He heal him. I know Holly and Billy only want the Lord's will for their lives. They have been an amazing inspiration to me during this test of faith. Pray for them with me.

Here is a link to Holly's blog.
