I Come to the Garden...

Jwatrlily

I don't have much time right now but wanted to ask for prayer for a friend of mine from my church.  Please pray for Nancy Danielson and her family.  She has a grown daughter, a 1 year old grand daughter and her husband and a 10 year old son.  Nancy would be in her early 40's.  Yesterday she ordered no more Dr and no more treatments.  Her breast cancer has mets all over with a tumor that has grown outside her chest wall and is protruding in front and over the weekend it is in her brain and moving at a raging pace.  While is it of no consequence now, her case was mishandled from the beginning over 2 1/2 years ago with a surgeon who missed a second tumor that sat in her breast (and she admitted she had ignored even though she know it was there) for over a year before he removed it.  She had went through several chemo regimens and was doing radiation until this week and she said no more when it got in her brain.  All of this breaks my heart.  It scares me but our situations are so different but I've seen her at church so much and her faith never wavered and last I knew she was still not giving up, until yesterday as her prognosis is so bleak and she feels she has had enough of the struggle.  Thanks for your prayers.

Love, faith, hope, and prayers,

Juanita

Ok, I messed up. I don't know what all that stuff is after my last post but I've tried to make it go away and on my computer it won't!!!!

Juanita what a sad story, but yet happy as she has her priorities straight!  May the Lord richly bless her time left with her family--that has got to be HARD!

Vit. D! I've been off of it since June because of all the other medicine I have been taking for pain. I'm going back on it tonight. Thank you ladies for all you do.

I know I have a ton to be thankful for this Thanksgiving but I'm adding you ladies to my list.  

Meece

I will certainly remember your friend and her family in my prayers, Juanita.  I know it is hard to imagine, but just think if you'd been through all that and then you knew that very soon you would be with Him in Paradise?  Sad to leave your family, but rejoicing to be in HIs presence evermore.

Meece, while I was going through  your poetic post, I feel  that I am  with a highly profile  lyricist of your kind. This is really good,  you  compile all your poetic  posts to keep in the archive so that our next generation could see it and feel proud of you.

Meece

The posts I make are from Hymns from the past.  I cannot take credit for them.  They just come to mind and I look up the exact verses, either from my hymnal here at home, or online.  Nowdays the old hymns are not sung as frequently since praise hymns have taken their place in worship services.  They are so comforting, because you know that those who wrote them have been inspired by their situations.

meece, i have a snippet of a contemporary christian song from 20 yrs ago in my head..it's driving me bananas, and the worst is, i cant remember who sang it..where would i look for it? it was beuatiful, not a classic by any means, but it started Loerd, i hear you knockin; knockin on my door..and from then on, it was about how the roof was caving in, and the house wasnt very sound...i think all the time about what rough shape my house (temple) is in, from b.c. funny, how a song you sang 20 yrs ago, co mes back. this time unfortunately, it didnt come with enough information. please, if you could, tell me where i MIGHT look to find it? tried cont. christian artist female christian artists,archives, and you tube..any other suggestions would be appreciated.. just the chorus keeps playin in my mind.....thanks.   3jays

I am Meece, but you can be me anytime, JO.

If it isn't JO's song, perhaps it's this one:

YOU'RE WELCOME HERE

Lord, I hear you knocking
You been knocking at the door
How long have you been waiting
Seems I never really heard you before
I've kind of let the place go
I'm ashamed at what you'll find
But you can make yourself at home
If you're sure that you don't mind

Cause when I cry, the roof leaks
And when the wind blows, the walls are weak
But a house is known by the company it keeps
And I feel better now that you're near
And I want to make it clear
Jesus, from now on
You're always welcome here

There are dark rooms deep inside me
Where your light has never shown
And I tried to hide inside them
But I guess you've always known
That one day you would call me
And I'd awaken from my sleep
And you'd take me just the way I am
And you promise me you'd keep me.

2Hands4me

I'm not Meece either, but wondered if you meant these words?

You're Welcome Here

Lord, I hear you knocking

You been knocking at the door

How long have you been waiting

Seems I never really heard you before

I've kind of let the place go

I'm ashamed at what you'll find

But you can make yourself at home

If you're sure that you don't mind.

Cause when I cry, the roof leaks

And when the wind blows, the walls are weak

But a house is known by the company it keeps

And I feel better now that you're near

And I want to make it clear

Jesus, from now on

You're always welcome here.

There are dark rooms deep inside me

Where your light has never shown

And I tried to hide inside them

But I guess you've always known

That one day you would call me

And I'd awaken from my sleep 

And you'd take me just the way I am

And you promise me you'd keep me.

Hello Everyone,

Blessed Friday to you all.  I had my last A-C treatment yesterday.  Extreme fatigue today but my bp has about bottomed out and the NP said that is because the chemo is using up every bit of fluid reserve I have in my body.  She wants me to be sure to get a good 8, 8 ozs of fluid intake a day.  I'm trying but being on the beginning of the A-C treatment, no food or beverage appeals to me.  I will though because I don't want to go in to the hospital and have IV fluids.

My friend Nancy is still with us as far as I know.  I hesitate to call as I only have her cell phone number and at this time don't want to call as I know she is in Hospice and is heavily medicated.

I need to go eat lunch as I have a medication schedule today and tomorrow but wanted to stop in and tell you all to have a Blessed, Heaven sent weekend.  I'll try to post more later if my energy holds up.

Meece, in another Spiritual support group I'm on (NOT with BCO) I got a message that Laura J had her pet scan and it was all clear!!!!  No more cancer showed up.  Praise God!!!  That was what we were all praying for there before things got so nasty.  God has a beautiful way of riding above the nasty stuff and still doing HIS work.  I'm so happy for her and sent her a PM to which I got a sweet reply of appreciation for my prayers and caring.  That's all I ever meant it to be for her in the first place.

Love, faith, hope, prayers,

Juanita

Isn't that a nice feeling?  Who would think by prayer we are trying to do something wrong?

I finally heard from Matt the other day.  He is back in Okinawa, and had made the flight about 6 days post surgery.  He is staying with a family from his church, and has taken over their couch.  I think being able to be around a busy family is giving him a focus off his situation.  As he was talking to me, he was holding their 6 month old, and their 3 year old was crawling around the couch.

He went to get the stitches out, but the incision started opening, so they put it off.  He is now in a walking cast and encouraged to walk when he can.  Last time we visited him four weeks after the surgery and he was still in a wheelchair.  

I was talking with my mother yesterday, when I was getting her settled in at home after a knee replacement this week.  She was concerned about matt having to leave the military.  I assured her that with Matt in a relationship with God, the it will be under His direction.  God no longer needs to take Matt by his shoulders and shake him to get his attention.

Thank you ladies for your prayers and support.

Speaking of Matt's journey, I asked if Matt and his church had heard any news from "GraceOkinawa" and her husband.  He said he hasn't heard anything about them since early September.  I have sent her PMs with no reply.  She hasn't posted in quite awhile, and no word on her tx.  Let's continue to pray for her and that she makes contact with us.

We have already had 16/100" of rain over night.  Not much opportunity for working outdoors, maybe in the grrenhouse.  I found this little quip I thought I'd share:

God created rainy days so gardeners could get their housework done.

Excuse me for being so far behind in all things garden.

I went digging for this photo that I took a couple years back of the sunrise over the Atlantic in southern FL. I thought I was just capturing the breaking sun. Imagine my surprise when I downloaded the pictures to find this image. I have added it to several threads today, where I thought there might be some appreciation:

Oh Faithie, it's a Sonrise! Fantastic.

PauldingMom

You don't know how much I need your support today. Yesterday I found a lump above my collar bone. I wasn't to concerned but decided I better call one of my many doctors. I called the oncologist who is generally laid back. They wanted me to come in ASAP. I said I could not come until today, so I'm getting ready to leave now and I am so scared. 
Your inspirational pictures and words will go with me today and remind me that with Him I can do much more than I ever imagined and that He will not give me more than I can handle. He will hold me up. 
Thank you all, Pink Hugs!!!

Meece

I spoke with Matt last night.  he was able to get ahold of Grace's DH by phone after our first conversation last night,  Grace & Dh are doing well, although he did not speak of her tx.  They have just moved into a house two weeks ago.

Matt is concerned that the person standing in as interim leader of the church he attends has started changing a lot of things, from the version of bible taught from, to announcing that members of the church should not celebrate any holidays including Christmas and Easter.  These are things which are causing him concern among other issues.  As a new Christian, it has to be confusing, so please pray that there will be somewhere he will receive continued "feeding" during this time of change.

PauldingMom, I'm so sorry you are having this to deal with. I will pray that it will not be anything that is serious.  Please know we will lift you up to God and ask for blessings to be granted you in this.  Know that we will be here for you and will hold you up to the Divine Healer for what ever your needs are.  Please let us know when you can how things are with you.

Hugs,

Juanita

Meece- I hope he finds a church where he fells at home.

CT scan tomorrow of head to pelvic. So I'll just wait and pray. Thank you all for your support.

Meece

Paulding.  I am so sorry.  It looks like I was being callous, but we must have posted at the same time today, and I just now read what you were going through.  You will most certainly be in my prayers.  May you have more peace as you await the appoinment tomorrow and the results.

Dear Heavenly Father.

We come to you in faith, knowing that you hear our every prayer.  Please be with our sister PM as she is going through this time of fear and health issues.  Please guide the hands of the technical people during her CT.  May they find exactly what needs to be addressed and may the images be clear and helpful to her doctors.  Be with her doctors as the review the scans and as they make decisions about her care and treatment as necessary.  Let her rest in your care and release her burdens to you.  Help us to give her the love and support that will make going through this event easier.

We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

sheila888

Amen

paulding mom, my prayers are being added onto the others that are praying. its' always so worrying with the scans, tests, and the wait..but, thank the Good Lord that we have the technology to see what's going on. will wait with everyone to hear the reslults.meece, 2Hands4Me, you guys were dead on!thank you so much i have been searching and searching. i got so far in the damaged memory banks to start on Maranatha Music..I've been having some crisis of faith, lately. more like a return to older, other days in my walk With Him. my husband "caught me humming that song a few weeks ago, and we knew just a few lines. and the search became almost a OCD thing with me. i thought, Meece, God sent you with the lyrics to In The Garden, which was my nanas' favorite hym..again, there are all you lovely ladies helping me again! am really revisiting some past days in a church ( in my dreams) that fell apart. that song was one i sang in services for the youth group eons ago.. do you know who sang it? how did you find it? so i will know how to search as others are likely to pop up. it seems The Lord is dealing with some of my past painful memories in dreams. and yes, my ex stories visit, me, as well, Meece... thank you, also jo 5it wasnt exactly the one, but i appreciate that you tried. you ladies are awsome friends!!and faith n that sonrise is just what i needed...    3jays

Meece, is it possible that your son is mis-interpreting what the new minister is saying? Perhaps the minister is against the commercialization of those two sacred times.....

PM, you are in my prayers today.
