For Robin
I am asking my readers from all over the world to please read and respond.
Just look at Robin's sweet little girls...
Just look at Robin's sweet little girls...
Robin is a beloved family member battling ovarian cancer. She has put up a very brave fight with her positive spirit throughout her chemo and surgery to remove her ovaries. Her faith in Christ is strong and powerful and has been an encouragement to me. We learned on Friday when she went in for surgery to remove a bowel obstruction (which they thought would be scar tissue) that the cancer had spread throughout her abdomen. If you've been following my blog for a while, you know how strongly I believe in the power of prayer.
7 years ago my Mom survived a 9 hour surgery to remove a large brain tumor, and also several complications afterward requiring life support. God mercifully allowed my eyes to see things that those caring for her didn't see even after I pointed them out, such as the blood clot in her arm. Her arm looked enormous to me compared to the other one, and upon measuring was only slightly different. They did the ultrasound to appease me, found the clot, and it was treated in time. The emergency room did the original CT scan to appease me, as well, and questioned why I even brought her in. She is alive and well today, because of the clarity I received from above. That is the same God in control of Robin's life and healing.
Will you join me in flooding the heavens with the following prayers for Robin? Imagine the power of being connected with people from all over the world praying the same thing. I know the hearts of my readers, and have faith that you will. A daily prayer for her would be even more awesome, and may God bless you for doing so.
Robin is at peace with God's will for her. She knows where her eternity is because of Christ. But, she has always believed her earthly body will be restored, and our family honors her belief. We are called to be specific about what we ask for, so let's be an army behind her!

I am also living with cancer, one surgery at a time, hopefully December's was my last and my cancer is gone. I know her fears. She is far too young to leave, we need to pray hard and ask God to spare her and keep her here with us, with her girls and husband. Please God, hear our prayers.

Robin and family: May the Lord watch over you and lift you up in this time of great trial. May He give you an unexplainable peace as only He can. I pray that He guides the hands of the surgeons for He is the Great Physician. How encouraging it is to see someone so young have such strong faith in the Lord and His will. God Bless You, Robin!

Praying for Robin
Praying for Robin, her immediate family and her extended family and friends. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us! I believe that and have seen evidence of it in my own little life. May God Himself hold this sweet family in His Almighty Hands and may they feel not only His power, but the power of the prayers being offered on their behalf. What an honor to interceed with other believers for Robin. Trusting God for all things for them.

I consider it a great honor to pray for Robin, for her health to be restored and for her family to be strengthened. There is such power in collective prayer and I know God hears each one.
If you feel so inclined to share with Robin, I'd like to recommend Chemo Angels. It is an incredible organization that supports those going through treatment for cancer ~ all ages. I've been a volunteer since '03 and have seen many miracles. Robin's mailbox will be filled with positive support! www.chemoangels.net

"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" Mathew 19:26
My family and I have and will continue to pray for Robin and her family.
Robin and all her family will be in my prayers. Hopefully positive thoughts of encouragement from a stranger will be felt!
Thank you, Christa, for those specific requests to put into our prayers. Consider it done on this end. CAC
Our God is a God of miracles, when He walked this earth He was known as the Great Physician who healed all He came in contact with. He is the one who made us and sustains us. I pray to you dear Lord to heal this daughter of yours and give her a long and healthy life. May God be with your family and wrap His loving arms around them.
Just stumbled into your blog today, now I know why. I prayed all through your requests for Robin. Let healing begin in Jesus' name Amen.
I am glad that I took the time to read your sweet thoughtful post today. I will unite my faith in God through prayer with your many other friends. Always remembering that His will be done.
If you would like, I could have Robin's name put on the prayer roll of the Mesa Temple. Hundreds of people every day will be praying for her there. Let me know if you would like that and you can e-mail me her last name. That's all that is needed.
Love You!
Robyn and her family are in my thoughts and prayers!
I believe! May GOD wrap you Robin in HIS loving arms and heal you and give you peace that only can come from HIM!
Amen!!!

Yes I'll pray for Robin, and will spread the word!
I will keep Robin and her family in my prayers.
Sent prayers up for your beloved friend.
I, too, know that prayer is a powerful, God-given gift. I have seen mighty miracles brought about by it's power. I absolutely will keep Robin and her sweet family in my personal prayers and in our family prayers. Thanks for sharing the beautiful story about your Mom -- what faith you must have! I hope you will allow Rod and Lynda to put her name on the Mesa Temple prayer roll -- there is such power and strength in that. I can do that, too, up here in my area, if you'd like. It would be my honor. {HUGS} to all of you during this difficult trial.
I just said a prayer and will remember her in my nightly prayers.

My mother sent me a link to your blog...she and her sister adored Maury and Evelyn (and if I understand right, they were your husband's grandparents??). Anyway, prayers from Memphis for your sweet friend. I sing a song to my daughter nightly...I find it beautifully written for those battling illness:
"But for you who fear My name, the Son of Righteousness will come, with healing in his wings. And you shall go forth again, and skip about like calves, coming from their stalls at last."
God Bless,
Katie
