Lisa - praising the Lord & rejoicing with you upon completion of your rads!!!
Nancy we pray the Lord will grant you supernatural strength to accomplish the final tasks ahead - and His joy in doing so! Praising Him for the breakthrough with your mom too!
Joanne - BEAUTIFUL hymn that we all need...THANK YOU for sharing! No matter what trials swirl around us, we are assured of His love! Hallelujah!
On top of other issues we're dealing with - we 'cast a fleece' regarding some very disturbing things at church which we have not had peace about in a long time - but just kept trying to ignore rather than face them. We asked the Lord for specific guidance, discerning and wisdom, and the Lord was faithful and answered that prayer very specifically. Now we are faced with knowing we have to leave the church where we have served and worshiped for 6 years of living here...and we leave all of our friends/brothers & sisters in the process. We cannot - will not - give the reasons why we are leaving because those who have left before us who gave reasons were slandered afterwards (for years) - but those who just left quietly were not. That's sad and folks will be bewildered, but I guess not being able to discuss things is just part of the issues. Anyway our hearts are broken having to do this, but we know we cannot stay (knowing what we now know). I feel like this is a grieving process and feel physically affected for sure.
Praying for you all with love,
Ade
P.S. We came home from visiting friends last night and found this little waif on our porch! Many locals are sharing on facebook so we pray we can find his home/owners SOON.

Good morning prayer warriors,
Praying for you this morning during some quiet time here at the house. I don't post much any more but I read almost daily.
Ade, we faced the same type church situation a couple of years ago. We didn't share with anyone that we were leaving, so as pastor, a lot of people were shocked. We had been praying for guidance for perhaps six months, and indeed, God's timing is best. We told folks that the Lord had told us it was time to move on. We wandered for 14 months, looking for a new church home, and He opened a door just when Clyde had thought about leaving the ministry. I think other sisters will agree that if you aren't happy in your worship, and there's something going on that concerns you, God will always guide you right.
Nancy, you have been on my heart as you work to clear out your mom's house. Mentally and emotionally, I'm sure it's exhausting and add physical limitations to it, and I can onLy imagine your difficulties. Glad your mom is socializing more and things are better with her adjustment. Praying for health problems for everyone to get better. Safe trip home!
Jo, thank you for the songs. We share a love for the older hymns. I grew up with church music and my family members played instruments for our church for 30 years. I'm not playing regularly now because this church already has volunteers for that, which I am grateful for. And, BTW, I'm an only child too, so I know the task I will face one day will be difficult. (Mom has taken the legal stuff and given it to someone else so mine will be the house...long story.)
We are having our house exterior painted, then replacing our deck, in between tropical storms and cold fronts. Expensive but badly needed. I'm helping with proctoring for testing at one of my former schools....don't know any of the kids anymore, but have enjoyed seeing my teacher friends.
For all I didn't mention and the new ladies here, you are in my prayers. Whatever stage you have or even if you are done with treatments, we all have experienced Gods grace and mercy as we deal with this disease. Thank you Jesus for your love and care!
Love, Ellen

Joanne,
I pray the Lord will completely heal and stop all reaction to that bite and stop the cellulitis now in Jesus' precious Name. May the Lord NOT allow the enemy to steal your joy OR your health. The Lord is your strength, your healer, your source of joy even in times of trouble. Rest in Him and His love for you. Amen
Ade

Praying Jo.
-
Jo, you have my heartfelt prayers. I empathize with your discomfort; I am highly allergic to insect venom and must cover up head-to-toe when doing yard or garden work. I might as well be in a hazmat suit.
The Illinois Department of Public Health has a good website on biting flies: information along with pictures of the nasty critters. They very well could be coming from the dirty water at the construction site.
-
Good morning dear sisters. I will write more later but I have read posts but haven't had a chance to post. I got back home last night and am pretty wiped out in all ways.
Ellen, good to hear from you. Thanks for your prayers.
Ade, I am praying about your need for a new church. I am very sorry you are dealing with this on top of everything else.
Joanne, you know I am praying. I have a good friend in NY and they have a summer camp up North. She is always talking about the black flies in May up there. I have asked her more about them recently because I didn't know what she was talking about. She said you may know them as May flies but from what you are describing I don't think it is May flies like I know them. She said her husband has a netting he wears on his face when fishing they are so bad and thick. It is hard to imagine they bit so many times and you weren't aware of it. I sure hope you can tough it out on the AB. I am glad you quickly recognized what was happening so you could get the doctor involved. We will all be praying for you. So sorry this is happening and right when family is coming in.
Love,
Nancy
-
Nancy, glad you're back home again. Please rest now - your body needs it. (But it's ok to use your computer!)
)Joanne I cannot imagine how MISERABLE you are! And not really knowing exactly what you're dealing with too. I pray the regime you're on will give you relief and heal you, to God's glory. I have found that Avon's Skin-So-Soft can help prevent bites and soothe once yo have them. I have even used it on our dog to keep the gnats at bay. Anyway we surely are praying for you. <<HUGS>>
James is on a full week now of migraines ranging from bad headaches to full blown miserable incapacitating migraines. He has a VA appointment but not until mid June. I always seem to fear the worst - so am praying it is something easily treated and not THE diagnosis we all fear.
The "thing" seems to be enlarging in the armpit of the bc side and it's getting hard to ignore. I have an onc appointment mid June too so please pray for wisdom for my doctor. All of a sudden the 'normal' underarm odor has really increased. :O( Is that a bad sign?
Today was our last Sunday at church - sad for us but bewildering for the few we told, as we are not giving a reason (Those who HAVE given reason are slandered for YEARS later - plus we won't backbite anyone). Just trying to depart peacefully without making a scene. We certainly have the Lord's peace about this but it is still sad. The Lord has truly blessed us with assurance and comfort from His Word and we are so thankful. Now the healing begins.
Lord bless and keep you all.
Love,
Ade
P.S. This bad boy was in our garage until my hero took a shovel & scooped him outside. They don't hurt you so we let him live. (But UGH!)
-
Joanne,
I use *bag balm* for occasional itchy nipples. Relief.
)Ade,
A cute little waif.
Maybe call MO before appointment in June.
Nancy,
You're in need of a relaxing Memorial Day!
Prayers for one and all.
-
These flags were put in place to remember a special person who served our country in military service. There were over 2000 of them. The first time I saw this display several years ago it was night time and the healing field as it is called was not officially open yet. It was such an emotional impact in the quiet of the night and a few spot lights shining on all of those flags. We are deeply grateful for the sacrifice that all of the men and women gave that we can enjoy freedom in this country. We are so grateful for the freedom we have in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have new life in Him.
Enjoy your Memorial Day dear sisters and remember that the day is more than cook outs and picnics even though those things are great too.
Love,
Nancy

Jo: I am praying the Cellulitis is healing away..In Jesus' name~Amen! I hope you were able to enjoy your guests and your meal out.
Ade: I'm praying the "thing" under your arm is not cancerous! Also, praying for James ..In Jesus' name ~Amen!
I had a surface reaction in my armpit a year ago..it was from a new (homemade) deodorant..but it got large and painful and scared us a bit. ..And, I thought I was brave when I saved the life of a drowning wood spider that clung to my finger when I was doing dishes last week! Just a couple years ago I would have killed it out of fear..but, I dunno what's going on with me lately! BTW: Wood spiders are not harmless! They bite and when they do it often requires a minor surgical intervention and days of drainage..again, I dunno what's going on with me but this was the second such spider I released back into the wild in just the last few months.
This was my certificate of completion signed by all the sweet staff members at the Radiation Oncology department
This is the plate that contained homemade cookies which a new friend whom I met while we waited for our daily radiation surprised me with on my last day there!
This tea set is a gift from an old friend given to me a couple years ago that I filled with fragrant blooms just this morning!
(I wish you could all smell it!)
That is a painting that I did hanging in the background.
I disconnected and moved my computer a few days ago and just got it hooked back up this morning so I have some reading and catching up to do on the posts here..so i will pray for any that I've missed as soon as I can.
Blessings and Love~Lisa
-
Lisa, what beautiful pictures! Your painting goes beautifully with the elegant tea set and flowers. I LOVE lilacs! We had two huge bushes in Ohio and I have missed them so much here. Well we just planted 8 bushes across the front of our house and I can hardly wait for them to grow and bloom. They are Texas hardy too. Just so you know - it would NOT - NOT - NOT have offended ME if you had doomed that spider!!! Tarantulas live OUTSIDE and can't get IN the house so that's why that bad boy was spared. If he'd been a REAL spider IN my house his days would have been over! One night I was just dozing off in bed when a spider RAN OVER MY FACE! I brushed it off in a hurry - not realizing I'd sent it to James' side of the bed! I yelled for him to turn the light on and there it was beside him. Well he 'took care of it' but I felt creepy-crawlies for an hour after that and couldn't get back to sleep. UGH! HOW HAPPY WE ALL ARE OVER YOUR TREATMENT'S COMPLETION! May the Lord NOT let the cancer return - EVER!
Nancy, hope you're resting and healing after that trip, and maybe can get back to your swimming and photography again.
This is a blooming Chaste bush in our back yard, native to southwest TX.
Love,
Ade
-
Ade..I love that bush. What an interesting name for it! Does it have a fragrance?
-
This is what the bush looks like in our yard. (Maggie is on guard chasing away those monster bunnies - it's her job! )
It is also deer hardy - which is a good thing here! Don't know about fragrance - they're out back so I don't wander much out there.
Vitex agnus-castus, also called vitex, chaste tree, chasteberry, Abraham's balm, lilac chaste tree, or monk's pepper, is a native of the Mediterranean region. Scientific name: Vitex agnus-castus Higher classification: Chaste tree
This is the whole plant (I called it a bush but it is classified as a tree).
-
Ade, I have been praying for this place you have. I remember many years ago when I could afford a muscle therapist every week and my insurance covered her I had a swollen lymph node in my armpit. That was long before my bc so I was clueless as to what it was. I know you can have an infection which can cause a swollen lymph node and I am guessing that was the case for me. I am praying that there is an explanation that is nothing serious.
Love your pics of your bush. The spider pic...................well let's just say that I feel the same way about spiders as I do bees. I am scared of both. I have been swimming a couple of times this week and with a few good night's of sleep in a row I am doing much, much better than when I first got home. I did get out with my camera today but about got too hot. I am involved in this forest preserve photography contest again and I needed to get some pics in before the month was over. My mom had a hair apt the day before I left so I had some time to get some hummingbird pics before coming home.
Today I was photographing some wild irises and at one point I just about ended in the water. I had a big bumblebee that decided it wanted to land on these same irises.
Lisa, I love your painting and your tea set with the pretty flowers. Is that white flower Lily of the Valley? I am glad you are finished with your rads and I pray now that you can keep the bc at bay for many, many years to come.
Chris, how are you doing?
Jean, how are you doing?
Teka, good to hear from you.
Hershey, hope you can make that trip to see your family.
Lita, haven't heard from you in quite a while. How are you managing with the SE and your treatment's
Faith, praying your bathroom remodel gets finished and praying that your heart issues can be resolved.
Joanne, praying for this cellulitis to BE GONE and all swelling and bites to disappear. I am glad that the itching is gone.
Here are some pics I have taken the last few days.
Have a good night dear sisters.
Love
Nancy
-
Neverforsaken, congrats on completing your radiation. This is a big milestone and worth celebrating.
Nancy, I LOVE the hummingbird picture. It is a winner for sure. I am glad you are doing better and that you got out some and got to take some pics. We sometimes get bees in our elevator and I am frantic until I get out--very afraid of them. I swell up big with a mosquito bite so I suspect I am allergic. It is a slow elevator even for 4 floors.
I am doing ok. Next week my DD goes on her annual service trip for her school and I have the DGD for 4 days. I am praying she will sleep in her own bed while her momma's gone, and that I have enough energy to keep up. She has a birthday the following week and she is so excited to turn 3. I also have my 3-month onc appt during that time. Looking for a sitter so my DH can go with me. I have had a tough weekend after my infusion, but I am doing better now. I never had problems before but I hurt all over for 4 days. Always something!
-
Good morning all. Hope everyone has a blessed weekend. I am doing well with my HepC treatment. Almost 1/3 finished. Only side affects are mild headaches and fatigue. I got blood work done yesterday to check my viral load to see if it is working. Results in 1-2 weeks. Love, Jean
-
Hello all,
Checking in on my Christian online friends and reading your posts. As always, everyone here are in my prayers daily.
Jo, last summer I was bitten on my feet by many red ants. Itched like crazy and got red and swollen and hurt. I had to go to doctor and get 2 antibiotics and some kind of salve. Not fun so I hope you are getting better!
Praise to our good Lord. I am so very thankful that I am healthy again (at least I think so) and raise my arm to the heavens each day in gratitude. Praying the same for all.
Lynn

Nancy, that is the best shot of a hummingbird!!!
I have one that comes to greet me each evening at the window. Had one die in my hand last summer though..It was bleeding so it probably hit something when I found it.
Jo..I'm still praying for your skin/bites to heal.
Intolight..I pray that your energy will allow you to have a good visit with your granddaughter and also for a good checkup for you!
Ladies..guess what I did today...
Jeff and I had to go get the oil changed in our truck..Our local S.A.F.E organization was there at the dealership and so I adopted a four year old chihuahua! I was knelt down talking to someone and didn't even notice the little fella until he clamored up to my leg..as soon as I scratched behind his ear he clamored all the way up into my arms and laid his little head in the crook of my arm and relaxed! I needed a snuggle pup so bad..My dog Bud is a sweetheart, but will not snuggle! We are going out of town next week for a few days, so the lady who is fostering him said I can pick him up when we get back.
Here he is:
That's not me in the photo..I can't wait to bring him home next week!
He is four years old and microchipped already so all I have to do is get him registered to my address.
When i mentioned to the lady who is fostering him that I have cancer, she told me that her son who lives in colorado has a PHD for working with cannabis and she has a husky with cancer who she's been using the oil on. She says her huskies' tumor has shrunk a LOT in a pretty short time. She asked me if I wanted to research cannabis oil for myself..I have been thinking about this subject for a few weeks now (for pain) and I've also been really wanting a small lap dog ever since last year when I had to give up my cat (she went to my daughter) because my husband has developed a cat allergy. I can really see how God is at work in all of this coming together today!
-
NeverForsaken, what an adorable snuggle pup! I would love to have a dog but I live on the 4th floor and would not do well taking him out during the day. Lots of people in our condo do but I cannot imagine keeping a dog in all day. But I do have a cat who loves to snuggle. In fact, if I don't pet her when she is in my lap, she nips me (gently of course!) Fortunately I also get lots of snuggles from my granddaughter who lives with me. God knows what we need.
-
Intolight..I love our cat, Mia..i got her from the shelter in November 2016..She is the purrfect (yes, I just did that, lol) cat, but we only could keep her for six months before we had to give her to our daughter who lives in a nearby town. My husband, jeff developed an allergy to her..and she loved him most of all. Recently Jeff said how much he missed having her live with us, but I told him since he was on so many prescriptions already I didn't want him to need to take another pill in order to keep her..at least we can visit her sometimes. I think a chihuahua is the next best thing to having a cat, lol! Our last chihuahua lived almost seventeen years, and she was a sweet dog too.
-
Chris, praying you have enough energy to keep up with your grand daughter while you will be looking after her. Praying your check up coming up will be a good one. Thanks for your encouragement on my hummer photo. I can't enter that unfortunately in this contest I spoke of because all those pics have to be in their forest preserves. I may submit it to my newspaper though.
Jean, glad you are tolerating your Hep C treatments and praying it will do the intended job.
Lynn, great to hear from you and so glad to hear you are doing well.
Lisa, congrats on your cute little puppy. I have only had cats as an adult but I live on a corner and love to watch all the dog owners go by with their cute dogs. Thanks for you nice comments on my hummer pic. I haven't got my hummer feeder up yet. Trying to do too many things at once after getting home from my Mom's. I will have to post some pics sometime of the hummingbird festival I went to last summer. It was so interesting how they tag them and then try to keep track of them. I get such a kick out of them and I tell everyone it is the cheapest entertainment you will ever get just watching them. I got this picture at a nature center.
I can only imagine how excited you are to get your little dog home to stay. He is a cutie and you obviously made a connection with him right off the bat. You'll have to post some pics after he gets to his new home.
Debbie, I miss seeing your encouraging posts. How are you doing? I continue to pray for you.
Joanne, SO GLAD you found the culprit who has made your life miserable. I hope this helps your doctor in determining what is the best treatment. I sure hope you don't have to go to the hospital. Praying that everything will heal are your arm and legs. BTW the secret to freezing hummingbird action is for me anyway using a tripod and using the fastest shutter speed I can and lots of patience and persistence and practice.
I started on my yard work today and realized my roses were not worth saving............soooooo I decided I just didn't have it in me to plant five new bushes and take out the old ones so I am hiring it done along with a new tree. I still have plenty of grunt work to do in my flower beds. My neighbor gave me his opinion on the sewer line sinking along with the front porch. He doesn't seem to think it is a sewer line issue but just the ground settling. I have a contractor coming next week and he jacks up the existing cement and hopefully that is all that will need to be done. Otherwise I would NOT be having new rose bushes planted. Praying my neighbor is correct in his assessment. He is a realtor and does home inspections too.
We are experiencing some glorious cool weather after some really, really hot days. I used to march my bands in the Memorial Day parade every year and this year they canceled the parade because it was too hot for the bands to march. I don't ever remember that happening in my career here. Strange weather we are having for sure.
Enjoy your weekend dear sisters. You know I am regularly praying for each of you.
Love
Nancy

CASTING CROWNS - JUST BE HELD
Hold it all togetherEverybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on
And when you're tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There's freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go
CHORUS:
So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held
If your eyes are on the storm
You'll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You'll know I always have and I always will
And not a tear is wasted
In time, you'll understand
I'm painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands
CHORUS:
So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held
Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you'll find Me
And where you are, I'll hold your heart
I'll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who wont let go
CHORUS:
So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

Ade, Casting Crowns is MY favorite current Christian band. Their songs speak to me in the rough patches in my life. Thanks for posting that. I am getting reading to go to my new gastro doctor in a few minutes and then schedule those fun tests.
I am praying for you as I know this season of life has been very tough for you. When to you see your onc. Praying for peace in the midst of the storm. I'll praise you in the storm...........another favorite of mine from Casting Crowns.
Love,
Nancy

This has been my theme song since BC:
"Blessings" by Laura Story
We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
And all the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise -
I know I have posted this before but I know some of you might need this today. I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.
Praying for you Joanne and for DH as he goes through his tests. Praying you will get results from the new AB and that DH will get some answers.
Ade, praying for you and James.
GM, I love that song as well. That song was written in a very hard time as Laura's DH was having a medical crisis so it comes from a point that we can all relate to.
Debbie, praying for you.
Teka, praying you are enjoying some nice spring weather in the north country.
Lita, praying for you always.
Lisa and Chris and Faith praying that all of you are doing well. Chris, prayers for strength as you take care of your almost 3yr old granddaughter as her mother is away.
Lord, I pray for all of the dear sisters on this thread. Many are dealing with such storms in their lives and I pray that you would calm their hearts as the storm rages. I know many times you allow those storms to continue to strengthen our faith and develop our faith muscles. Growing is never a pleasant experience but as you prepare our hearts for glory we trust in you to complete that which you have begun in each of us who call ourselves yours. Give each dear sister what she needs this day to deal with all of the challenges, disappointments, fears and anxiety that may overwhelm us. Give us complete trust that you have only good for us even though our human eyes can't see the big picture that you have for us.
Love,
Nancy
-
AMEN, Nancy! You are ministering to all of us as the Lord speaks to you. Praying your GI tests will be a breeze for you and not a source of anxiety and that simple remedies will be found.
Joanne - praying for answers that bring God's healing for you and that you are well enough for your husband's procedure. He holds you in the palm of His hand.
One week from today for my onc appointment & James' VA appointments in Odessa. Praying for good news and answers.
Lord bless you all,
Ade
She stands watch bravely and diligently to guard the porch against vicious would-be attackers!
-
Ade, thank you. That pick of Maggie makes me smile. I wonder if they are communicating with each other.
This banner sort of reminds me of Carrie Underwood's song Jesus Take the Wheel.
Dear Lord, take the wheel of my life because if I take it I am on a direct path for a collision!
Love,
Nancy
