Please Pray

As we near the holiday I ask that as you all say your many prayers of thanks that you also remember this little boy in your prayers! My dear childhood friend is marrying a wonderful man who is a cancer survivor. Dustin battled the disease while he was in high school. Dustin uses his experiences to help other kids that are going through cancer treatments; his chemo pal is Nick! (more info below)

Say a little prayer....

This morning, we ask that you join us in prayer for Nick, Dustin's chemo pal, who is undergoing surgery to remove another tumor. Nick is a 12 year old boy who has been battling cancer for years. He went through his second round of treatment this summer only to find out weeks ago that there is another tumor growing in his body. He is probably in surgery right now, so we ask that you pray with us for:

1. The doctors and nurses operating on him and taking care of him.
2. Strength for his body and mind as he continues this uphill battle.
3. Peace for his family as they question the events taking place right now.
4. Courage, perserverance, and comfort for Nick as he is exhausted and tired from this LONG fight.
5. Wisdom for those around him to move forward in the right way.
6. The PEACE that passes ALL understanding...the peace that only our Lord can bring.

Ash, thanks so much for spreading this prayer request around. We went to visit Nick after his surgery and he is hanging in there but the doctors couldn't find the tumor that showed up on the MRI. Very weird. We continue to pray for healing, peace, understanding, and reassurance. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
