Ask and you shall receive the desires of your heart

My scans came back good!! I hadn't known how to pray about them this week. Last night I just told the Lord, whatever His Will, but if the lesions are still there, I hope they are at least smaller and that there are no new ones. Well, when my doctor presented the results to me, he practicaly spoke them word for word they way I had prayed them the night before.

In my brain, some are still there, but have not grown, some have even shrunk. And around my spine there is still something there, but they are still not real sure it is even cancer, so they are just going to continue to watch and see what happens.

I know what's going to happen - we are all going to pray that these cancer cells are going to leave my body and never return - In Jesus Name! And it will be done. I'm truly a believer in that verse now about asking Him for whatever you want and He will give it to you.

To add: All day yesterday I had been listening to this new CD I had gotten and the words just really stuck with me, so I knew God was trying to tell me something when something sticks in my mind like that. Here's what stuck in my mind:

Why do I feel discouraged; Why do the shadows come and why does my heart feel lonely and long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
So I sing because I'm happy and I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me
And guess what I did the rest of the day today - I SANG!! because I know He watches me.
Nicol, the singer of the song on the CD, writes "But one of the things I miss about life in the Congo is the opportunity to see God answer prayer in a way that happens when we have no other option but to depend on Him for our survival."
Matthew 10 31 - "so don't be afraid; You are worth more than many sporrows."


That has been the way I have felt. I have always liked being in control. Now I know Who is in control and holding me in His hands -- so I can let loose and just watch Him work and listen for what He wants me to do. We survive because He wants us to, not because of anything we do.
I start my chemo back and I will continue to visit the doctor every 3 weeks and have scans every 3 months. So, we still have some work to do.


Thank you all SOO MUCH for your prayers, please keep them up.

Love and blessings,
Kim

Hi Kim,

Praise God! We are so happy that the lesions are not any bigger. It is even better that some are smaller. We will keep praying that those cancer cells go away totally. You are a blessing and your words touch me.

We love you,

Continuing to pray here in Memphis. I remember you in prayer every time I wear my "Kim's Krusaders" t-shirt or put my daughters on her. So glad that things are going well.
