Becky

The following is an update on Becky, that she herself wrote. It will give you an idea of how she is doing, and more specifically what to pray for. Thank you all so much for praying for our friend, and she too is thankful for all your prayers. I just talked with her, she looks like she is doing amazing. She is totally at peace, and truly knows God knows why she has this. She believes that God made her with the extra lobe so that she could handle this cancer. One amazing woman with so much faith.

Becky writes:
As most of you know, I have recently had 2 lobes of my right lung removed and was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. I am recovering at home now and the pain from surgery is easing up a little every day. I have heard from many of you letting me know that you are praying for me and have added me to the prayer lists at your church, Bible study, or business. I appreciate all the prayers and have felt the power of them all. My family and I have been blessed by your care, love and support throughout this rough time in our lives. I will be seeing my cancer dr. on Tuesday and would love for you all to join me in these specific prayer requests.

1. Pray that all the cancer was removed during surgery.

2. Pray that I will get much stronger during the next 2 - 3 weeks before my chemo treatment starts.

3. Pray that my viens will be built back up. Many of them were "blown" during my 2 weeks in the hospital, surgery, and arterial blood gas tests.

4. Pray for strength for my family: Husband - Jason, Children - Keith and Rachel ( along with my Parents and sister)

5. Pray that our house in Mississippi will sell quickly. We are still renting in Texas due to our house in MS not selling. (Our land lady told us this week that we have to move by April 1st if we can not sign a contract on this house we are renting from her. We want to buy this house, if it is God's will. We do need a home here on the border even after we move to Mexico.)

6. Pray that I will be able to attend classes again, even off and on. I am in Missionary Language School to learn Spanish. I still have a strong desire to learn the language so Jason and I can move to the Children's Home in Mexico and continue serving there.

7. Pray that many people will hear of my story and learn of God's unfailing grace and love. I want God's Name to be glorified throughout this entire journey.

Thank you all!

I will keep you posted as these requests are answered!
God Bless!
