When the Lord calls you…your passion for that work or ministry burns with great intensity…it can become all-consuming!
Then…life happens…and the life you had planned…the life you actually believe God has planned for you…has to be put on HOLD.
Such was the case last October when Amanda was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer I had never even heard of…Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC).
Suddenly and unexpectedly my work took a back seat to the more important responsibilities of being a Mama and grandmom.
Now…7 months later…we stand in awe of the healing power of a God who not only healed her of this disease…but did it in a way that brought him the greatest glory.
The cancer – after 6 rounds of triple dose chemo – was not only still active…but had spread.
Then surgery…and the pathology report.
In the natural, it was not looking good.
Yet…we prayed in faith and we believed with certainty.
And as her brother said, “MY GOD JUST LIKES TO DO THINGS BIG!”
With anxious hearts, all of us who love her received that word and stood on it.
We knew with our amazing – all-powerful God…a miracle delayed is NOT a miracle denied!
Then the pet scan to see if it had spread…and the demeanor of the doctors belied their words. They were not hopeful…
BUT GOD!
The day after the scan…Dr Johnson called and said, “I have been reviewing your scans, and I am floored. THERE IS NO CANCER ANYWHERE!!!”
Amanda is cancer free!
The doctors couldn’t explain it…but we could!!!
Hallelujah and thank you Jesus.
And thank YOU!
You – and the hundreds of faithful prayer warriors around the world – who have prayed without ceasing.
We have no doubt this battle is being won on our knees!
If the chemo had worked…the Dr’s could take credit.
YES – our God likes to do things big and it is always for HIS GREATEST GLORY and our good.
As for you and me…we just need to keep believing.
Keep walking by faith and not by sight.
Keep taking life one day at a time.
Keep knowing – beyond a shadow of a doubt – a miracle delayed IS NOT a miracle denied!!!
So let me ask…
Where do you need this community to pray for you?
Where do you need God to show up and do something big?
Take a moment to post.
Take the risk of being vulnerable enough to ask others to come along side you.
Won’t you help me make this blog community a place that does more than read and delete?
Help me create a safe-place to connect and be there for each other!!!
I promise, the risk is worth the reward!

Please pray for mom. She is no longer tolerating her peg tube food, she has seizures, kidney stone that is inoperable due to her end stage Alzheimers, her lungs have crackles. Without God she will die soon.
I just pray that God will heal her or take her home.
Praise God for his mercy and grace knows no bounds!! Thank you for sharing your families miracle!! Please add my family to your prayers. I left my nursing job in AZ last year to return to KY for family, then my youngest daughter attempted suicide and I chose to stay and move her from her dads in PA to KY with me and her sisters. It hasn’t been an easy road but God has been there every step of the way. My daughter is doing much better and is looking forward to having her first job this summer as a life guard. I need Gods guidance for a financial blessing for my family. I cant leave KY until my youngest graduates high school and I can’t work as an RN here because I do not have a KY RN license. I have applied for multiple jobs here outside of the nursing field and I repeatedly get told I’m “over qualified”. I know God has a plan
I need prayer very badly right now. I am in school studying post-production and mixing/mastering music here in L.A. now and a couple of weeks ago God told me that I have an assignment to work at Paramount Pictures. There is an internship program that I need to apply for in mid-July and as of now I have no credits or experience except one thing to put on my resume. I also have no contacts in this industry. I went to an orientation today at a job center and found out about an entertainment industry networking group that will meet at the end of June but I won’t be able to be there. I need miracles in the next 2-3 months so that my resume is looking good with experience. It would also be helpful to get to know someone who works in post-production there, too. I don’t know how this is going to happen but God told me that the door is already open and that I need to do my part and then step through it. I feel helpless but I know I am not. This assignment also has something to do with a promise about my personal life that He gave to me back in 2012. God bless you and any prayer would help!!

I need prayer for my school. We need several million dollars to education young people who might not have a chance otherwise.
