Mericiful father, I had some rather bad news tonight about some family members. My sister in law, whom is my best friend is going in for an exploratory surgery in a couple days, and she tells me on the phone tonight that my 22 yr old niece has been having such bad back pain that she is barely able to walk. They did an MRI and found a rather large tumor on her spinal cord. She will be getting surgery approximately only 2 days after her mother. The doctors are unsure of what kind of tumor this is, and if in fact is malignant or benign. Lord, I am praying to you, no matter what the outcome is at this point, that you allow both of these beautiful women to have their surgeries be a success. So we can get them pain free, and receive the treatment that they need to get on their way to recovery. We will deal with whatever comes afterward. We have to leave it in your hands lord. I know that everything happens for a reason, and we have to accept that. I pray that you can give both of these ladies the support and love they need from all others, including yourself. For at times, I think that they forget about you and the incredible mercy and healing that only you possess. I pray for you to give the family strength in this difficult time. And as always, thank you for the blessings you bestow upon us daily. I love you lord. Amen.
