Tests Begin Today

Kara will undergo a battery of tests today and tomorrow. She will have the OctreoScan, a PET scan, another MRI, and another CT scan. Today and tomorrow will be very busy for her, and very physically draining and emotionally fraught. Please continue to pray for her as you have been doing throughout this process.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for positive test results.
- Please pray that Kara feels God's presence and peace during this difficult period.
- Please pray that the treatment eradicates the cancer from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you very much. Kara faces about two more months of chemo-sickness, and it would be so wonderful if she could go into the next two rounds knowing that she is being healed as she is being made so sick, that all of our prayers are being answered.

Dear Kara,

As you undergo so many tests over the next couple of days, know that we are praying for you, along with many of our church members. We're so thankful for the encouraging news thus far, and we are praying for positive results from the upcoming tests.

We love you and send you a big WY bear hug!

Love,

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.
The righteous cry and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles!
Jesus is near to those who are of a broken heart, and saves those of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; Jesus delivers you out of them all.
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants; none of them who trust in Him shall be desolate.
Psalm 34:15,17,18,19,22

Thank you Jesus for keeping your eyes and ears on Kara - her family; all our prayers for them. We praise You now and forever for delivering them out of all their afflictions; troubles. To Him be the Glory Forever!

Aunt Kara,
In one day, I was able to use up all of the lip balm you sent back with grandma and grandpa. Thanks!
Love, Samantha and Heath

Kara - Our prayer for you is despite the difficulties you're facing now is "... that [you]may know Him that [you] may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding [the wonders of His Person] more strongly and more clearly. And that [you] may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection. (adapted from Philippians 3:10, Amp)

We're praying for you!
Love, Cecelia and Jim
