PLEASE PRAY!!! I NEED YOUR PRAYERS A LOT RIGHT NOW!!

Original post by eeelisas

This has been a REALLY crazy month! It all started back January 8th when my sister was put in the hospital with severe stomach pains. Turns out she has Divaticulitus(I know I totally butchered the word, sorry! ) which is inflamation of the stomach. She just has to be careful about eating certain foods. Then the 9th Angelo's sister went back to Italy and we won't see her again til the wedding, in October. It was the first time I ever met her and her family since knowing Angelo for three years. Then my Uncle John, who was told he was cancer free, now has it back again and has prostate cancer.

My Aunt, his wife, and my mother's only sister that's left(her other sister died 10 years ago right after her parents) has had terribly swollen legs and they don't know what's wrong. She's now saying she's been dizzy and nauseous. They are the NICEST people! He's a VERY famous builder on Long Island, very wealthy, but you'd never know it. Just really, down to earth, humble, Godly people. Also a really good friend of ours has bladder cancer and is in extreme pain. He's so young, too, just in his 30's. The FUNNIEST person you'd ever meet. He makes US laugh when he's sick, and always stays extremely positive no matter what. They can't even operate on him because it will spread so quickly if they do. Nothing is helping him either.

THEN, yesterday we get a call that my mom's cousin was found on the floor in the bathroom, by her young grandaughter(she was at her daughter's house, but thank God her daughter and son-in-law were home). They don't know what's wrong or how long she'd been out, but she's been having a lot of seizures, and they can't even tell if there's brain activity yet because of that. They're going to take her off the seizure meds tomorrow, slowly, so they can see if there's brain activity. She was JUST at our engagement party January 5th. She's had A LOT of health problems, but this was a shocker. No one expected it. I went to see her today and I'm just extremely upset. She's such a wonderful lady, has a husband and 4 grown children. I can't imagine how they're all feeling right now. If I'm this upset, I can't imagine them. If it were my mom, I'd be a mess.

With that all said, I TRULY believe in the power of prayer. God says if we have faith the size of a mustard seed(extremely small seed) we can move mountains! PLEASE pray and believe, without any doubt that God can heal all of the above. Pray that when they take my mom's cousin off the meds tomorrow that there is brain activity and hope she will come out ok. I want her to be at our wedding so much. We're all really close to her. I don't know what God's will is in all of this, but I'm still going to believe He can heal them, unless it is His will to take them Home to Heaven. Thanks so much to all of you for your prayers. I'll keep you posted as we find out more. God bless!

May the Lord bless and keep your family through this trying time. Just remember that he is Jehovah Jireh our provider and he will make a way out. He is our healer and by his stripes we were alreasy healed. I will remember you and your family in my prayers and I know that the Lord who is faithful will bring you through.

WOW, what a blessing you all are!! I don't have any updates as of yet, but I'll let you know! I truly appreciate your replies, prayers and hugs. It means so much to me!! God is working, as He always is. I sent this to someone and feel it's appropriate to post in reply. Edited for this post...Be blessed!!

... He promises in His word that He will NEVER leave or forsake you! That's a promise! If we feel he's walked away, it's only because we've walked away from Him. He loves us so much, that we truly have no idea how much. We will go through hard times, but it's God's grace that gets us through. If we hold on to Him, we can rise above it all and be peaceful even when it's turbulent around us. Remember Peter in the boat? Jesus told him to walk on the water. If he kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to walk on the water. The second he took his eyes off Jesus, and looked at the waters around him, he began to sink. It's a huge example for us. We keep our eyes on Jesus, we can overcome the big waves of life that surround us. If we focus on the troubles and problems, we'll sink and lose our faith, yet, through it all, Jesus is still there, holding out a hand for us to grasp. Grab onto that hand!! Don't ever let go. He loves you so much!!! If you ask Him to reveal Himself to you, He will. He who seeks, finds, and he who knocks, the door will be open to him. Seek Jesus and He'll be right there. He wants a personal relationship with us. All we have to do is believe He died for our sins, rose again, ask Him to forgive us of our sins, cleanse us and come into our hearts and be Lord of our lives. It's THAT simple, yet He did so much for us, and that's all He wants! Without faith it's impossible to please God...all we need is faith!!

Never give up hope. About 30 years ago the doctors told my dad he had 6 months to live and to prepare. He beat the odds and then some. He is still with us and completely healthy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
