While I was home for lunch there was a message on the answering machine for Sharon to call the surgery center about her 7:45 a.m. appointment for Friday. So I guess that she is scheduled to be there then and the surgery should follow. In my mind there are two senarios. 1. They get in there and find there is scar tissue and nothing else. They remove that and we go home to celebrate her birthday. 2. My imagination goes wild here. This is how Satan plays in the playground of my mind. "Oh, let's go sit on the merry-go-round of those deep dark thougths for awhile." Sharon has been so thoroughly convinced that they are going to find everything clear and fine and we will be praising God for His great work in healing her. That truly is what we all are praying for. Her numbers get better everyweek. The chemo has had its effect on her. She is tired, has a rash on her hands, has lost her hair, has some nose bleeds, has pain in her back at night, sometimes can't sleep, sometimes can't wake up, food doesn't taste that good, when she does eat it burns her throat. Yet, she claims God's promises and waits for total healing. I'm not sure I would be so strong! Melissa, Laura, and I beg for your prayers as we anticipate the waiting for surgery. Those of you who have been there know that the waiting is a difficult time. As soon as we get results from the surgery on Friday we will post that for you.
We are still enjoying the sounds in our minds of all the choirs we heard last weekend at the benefit. Thanks, again, to all those who made that possible. It was a wonderful day of music and love. Our church has been such a stonghold of support for us. Where would we be without you! We often hear people say, "I don't know how I would have gotten through it without my church family." We are so thankful for ours and the extended family of the community singers. What a blessing you have all been.
If all goes as planned, we will be on our way to family reunions in Tennessee on June 5. Maybe we'll get to see some of our Tennessee support while we are there.
Thanks for continuing to pray for us. We are still "standin' in the need of prayer."

We love you all. Your family made such an impact during the early years of our marriage. We thank God for your friendship. We are praying fervently for your healing, Sharon. We are also praying for each member of the family to be rid of "attacks" and for God's peace and hope to abound.

"I waited patiently upon the Lord; and he inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD ......." Psa 40:1-3
My continued prayer is that your healing is close at hand for others to see and rejoice and also to fear, if they do not know him.
With love,
cever
Praying for each of you today! with love, Nancy Fay
