So many are taking some time this morning to stop and pray for Tricia and Nathan as she undergoes tests today.
If you are and would like to post a comment of encouragement to them, here's the place to do it. You might include your location as well.
Thanks so much.
Rick Lawrenson
Tricia's PET scan was delayed until 2PM this afternoon, which will bump her biopsy until Thursday. She will still be admitted into the hospital today.
I also thought the "map" idea of where the prayers are originating was great. So I started it. But it's too huge a job! If anyone else has the time and wants to take a stab at it, please go for it. Here's a site that you could use: http://pininthemap.com/.
Although I'll be at work this morning we'll be praying for you both. Winston-Salem - NC.
ReplyDeleteI can surely pray for your family!!! Winthrop Harbor, IL.

ReplyDeleteI pray that you will find the comfort and peace that is in these verses:
ReplyDeleteLamentations 3:28-33 (The Message)
When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions:
Wait for hope to appear. Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face.
The "worst" is never the worst.
Why? Because the Master won't ever
walk out and fail to return. If he works severely, he also works tenderly.
His stockpiles of loyal love are immense.He takes no pleasure in making life hard,in throwing roadblocks in the way.
Thinking of you & praying that all goes well, as always. Words of comfort & strength & only good thoughts headed your way from Long Island.

ReplyDeleteI will be praying for Tricia and your family. May God give you the strength to endure what ever comes your way. This helps me when I'm in need I hope it does the same for you:
ReplyDeleteThe Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
God WILL be glorified again!

Nate, Tricia, Gwynnie, praying for you this morning in MD...
ReplyDeleteI always find comfort in Job 38 when I face trials...It reminds me so much of the greatness and power of our Lord - Just that gentle remonstrance to Job, reminding him of who He (God) really is, and what He controls, is so uplifting for me.
I pray that those words give you and Tricia comfort this morning...that the peace of God, which passeth ALL understanding, surrounds and envelops you in a protective coccoon, one that the enemy with doubt, fear, and anxiety cannot penetrate.
I pray that God's healing power wash over Tricia, that the tests have a positive outcome, and that Gwynneth passes her exam with flying colors.
Hang in there guys! :-)

ReplyDeleteNate and Tricia's story is very close to my heart because I have grandchildren with CF. Our son's first child, a boy, died when he was 7 months old from complications connected with CF and he now has 2 little girls with it as well. The girls doctors are at Duke and I have wondered how close our families may have been to each other at times.

ReplyDeleteYour faith is an amazing testiment and it encourages so many. God is still using Tricia's CF to bless people, even through this latest challenge. How proud He must be to look down from Heaven and see his children following the path He has laid out for them and relying fully on Him to guide them each step of the way.
May you all be lifted up to Him today in an overwhelming show of support and love. May the incredible power of prayer work to it's fullest potential for your family.

As I was thinking about you guys this morning, these verses came to mind. (This passage always brings me comfort when I feel like I'm up against something impossible.)
ReplyDelete"The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 (NLT)
