Helen, I'm sorry and I will pray for Caressa tonight and keep her in my prayers as I also pray for my family and friends. When you get a moment and only when you get a moment, please post this up in my prayer circle page, as I'm sending people from myspace over to the new site.

But last night I got a call from my brother in law concerning my sister that has cancer.  She was unresponsive yesterday morning and they could not get her to come around so they called 911.  She is in the hospital.  She was terribly dehydrated, and still has little nuerlogical control.  Her motor skills are not working at the moment.  I hope today we can learn more about what is going on..

 
I have spent most of the night sitting here just thinking about the miracle she has been in our lives.  when they found the first tumor when she was only 10, they did not give her much of a chance of living a long life.  Since then she has had numerous brain surgeries to remove more tumors. surgeries to fix dead nerves in her face, trying to repair some of the paralysis on her right side of her face..  The orginal tumor was right behind her ear they were able to remove it without any damage to the nerves.. But two years later it came back with a vengous.  They had to cut some of the nerves to her face.  Oh I could set here and tell you all about each one.  But my point is this.. each time she went on the table.  They never ever gave her more of a 10% chance of coming off of it alive.  But they did not know Jesus's plan did they. 
 
She will be 43 this year.  So the Lord has blessed us all with her for longer than any of the human doctor's ever predicted.   She set an example for never complaining no matter what life put in her path.  She has two children her second child was born mentally handicapped.  Even with the day to day struggle of caring for herself, the constant pain she endured from all the surgeries and the tumor's that continued to grow she met this challenge with the same grace and dignity as she did everything in her life.  Always knowing that the Lord would see her through. 
 
My prayer this morning is this..
 
Lord we lift up to you my sister Cressa, you and only you khow what kind of spirit she is.  You and only you, know how precious she is to all that know and love her.  Lord thank you for allowing her to stay with us and grace our lives with her loving spirit, her laughter, her innocense,  and her strength.  Jesus we are asking that if it be your will to take her home, all I ask is that you comfort us that are left here to grieve her absense.  Her's Lord are hard shoes to fill.  But I know you can heal a broken heart and fill the emptiness that loosing a loved one can leave. But Lord if it be your will to allow us to have a little longer I ask you if you would make that time, painless, fill her life and home with love and blessing overflowing always keeping her wrapped in angel arms.  Lord I know all things are possible through you.. So we lay her at your arms, and leave her there for you know what is best for her, and that is what we all want.. I ask these things in Jesus name and for his glory.. A-men..
 
Thank you in advance for your prayers.
