Pray For Us!

Katrina and I just found out that a sore finger that has bothered her for years has a tumor in it. Recently it began to hurt more severely and she had it checked out. The Doctor called today with the news. So please pray for us.

I think I was more broken up and scared about it than she was, if that's possible. The thought of her having anything terminal, (though this has not even been called malignant), and me and the children having to continue our lives without her scares me to death.

Anyway, we will be looking for a doctor and/or hospital that will take her on pro-bono. If something is found quickly, our plans may be restructured to suit the situation.

The way I understand this, the first step is to test for malignancy. The chances are low, but the possibility must be eliminated before the tumor can be removed and a bone graft from her hip can be done to replace the finger's natural bone that has been partially eaten away by this thing.

As much as we help others with this very same thing, I guess it never really occurred to us that we may one day need the same kind of help. Thank God for his promises. Like, for example, Galations 6, verses 7,8 &9 that encourage us, saying: "Do not be deceived, GOD is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this shall he also reap. For the one who sows to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart, therefore, in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary."

For us this has proven to be a lot of information to process in one day's time. Just thought we'd ask you to lift us up in your prayers.

Your comments are welcome, though we'd much rather get an email to our personal address: rogerkatrina@gmail.com
