O Lord, Rouse up your might,
O Lord, come to our help.
God of Hosts, bring us back;
let your face shine on us and we shall be saved. (psalm 80)
Praise
I don't think I'm overstating the issue when I report this as a miracle.
The young lady I asked you all to pray for here went to the Doctor today to hear that everything seemed to be fine. Apparently the child will not need to be delivered early and no surgery will be necessary. My most profound thanks to all of those who prayed for this mother of five. God will (has) surely bless(ed) you for your faith. Thank you.

Special Prayer Projects:
(1) Chris Keith, the young lady whose biopsy went poorly got the results of that biopsy--carcinoma of the liver. The cancer is metastatic from colon cancer. Surgery has taken place to treat the colon cancer.
I paraphrase her mother:
"We [members of the family] are standing on the Rock and are rock solid. We are all okay and we are looking for a few prayer warriors to help us in this battle." Because this mother means so much to me for the great good she has done for my friends, I plan to stand with her and her family in this battle, and I invite you all to join me. Expect to hear about this on and off over the next few months.
(2) For Katherine's Mom as she undergoes chemotherapy--that the treatment is successful and her mother comes through this ordeal with a deeper sense of God's abiding love for her.
(3) For Katherine and Franklin, Janet and Louis, Peter Kucera, and for all who are seeking employment and suffering through difficult times as they wait.
(4)Healthy Pregnancies and good and safe deliveries: From Davey's Mom: I am with child once again and could use prayers for a healthy pregnancy. For Suki, for a healthy pregancy and a safe delivery. For Ashli and her child that doctors may find a way to help her carry her young one to term.
Praise be to God and thanks for all the saints who interceded for that baby!
