Prayer Warriors Please
March 25, 2009
Dear Friends, it is with such a heavy heart that I write today. As a military wife, my shock and sorrow has been flooding over me all day and all through the night. And then I begin to realize, I'm not even the one who has to face the reality that is always looming in the backs of our heads and we desperately pray that we never have to face it. The death of a dear member of our church hits so very close to home and I feel such an urgent need to be flat on my face for this family; at this time. So while their need is so great for prayer and because even I can not express my cries, prayers, and sorrow with words I will not be posting daily prayers as I will be focusing on the Roy Family. Please know however that I am going to schedule the daily readings to continue and would love it, if you feel lead, to post a prayer daily in the comments. I expect to be away from posting for at least a week. In the mean time please pray the following for this family:
1. Comfort and provisions for all things needing to be done.
2. The path be pathed for their journey back to the States without their husband and father.
3. No complications and may everything be taken care of in a timely manner.
4. Healing
5. Compassion, may we as a family in Christ be ever sensitive to the needs of this family, from the smallest detail to the heaviest burden.
6. Pray for God's glory to shine through this situation!!
Romans 8:25-27 (New International Version)
...But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Amen

Prayer Please: Roy Family
March 24, 2009
*It is with a heavy heart I write today's prayer and do so in hopes that many will find this post and lift up The Roy Family. As all things work for God's glory my desire is that many find this post and be burdened also to get on bended knees and support this military family as they have paid the ultimate price for their country.
Dear Father, there is a time to rejoice, a time to mourn, a time to live, and a time to die. Let us rest in the truth that nothing is a suprise to you. As we have been reminded that our days are numbered may we lean on you in this time of mourning and lift up the Roy family as they come to grips with the loss of a husband, father, and son: Tripp Roy. Falling before your very feet oh Father and asking Jesus to interceed, comfort and hold up this family. We pray these things, Amen.

Urgent Prayer Please
I would like to ask that you please lift up my dear friend in prayer!!!!! I Spotlighted her on March 7, 2009 and even since then report after report has been worse and worse. Please visit her site and lift her up in prayer. As I have not had cancer but was there when my Great Anut passed away from breast cancer, this is a very emotional time for me and so I can only imagine how earth shaking this can be for them. I stand firm in my faith that God's hand is mightly working in their lives and would ask you to help support them in their walk as they go through this valley in their lives!!!!

I'd like to be writing you good news, but unfortunately the news we received today was not what we expected to hear. Julie's scan's showed that the cancer is now in her brain, both lungs, lymph nodes in her chest, liver, and kidney's. We are still waiting for the results from the bone scan, but the doctor expects to find cancer there as well.
At the moment, we are stunned by the news. They are starting chemo tomorrow and radiation on her brain in the next day or so. Please pray that this treatment is effective! Pray that God removes this from her.
Well, I will close for now.
In Christ,
Britt

Julie had a good day today. They removed the tube that was in her side that was used to drain the fluid from her lungs. Once they removed that most of her pain went away...however, not all of her pain has gone because I still give her a hard time. :-)
Tomorrow they will do the MRI and Cat Scan. Please pray that we don't get any surprises. As I mentioned in my previous posts, they found two more tumors and we are praying they don't find anything in any other location. I suspect chemo will begin later this week since the cancer has progressed since Okinawa.
Well, I will let you go for now. Know that we truly appreciate your continued prayers.
In Christ,
Britt

Well, today was a pretty good day for Julie. Julie's surgeon was very pleased with her progress. She walked the hall three times today. The pain is still pretty bad when the medicine starts wearing off. But, all-in-all, she is doing great!
We've had visits from the Gaffords and Webbs and phone calls from many of our friends and family. Julie's mom and dad are in town and have been at the hospital most of the day. Sam is with them tonight. I think they are playing Phase 10. It sounds like a wild night for them. :-)
Again, we know many of you are lifting us up in prayer. Thanks because the journey is just beginning. Please pray that the scans on Monday does not show any significant growth or spread from the cancer.
In Christ,
Britt

Well, it is almost 9 PM (OKC time) and Julie's surgery was complete about 3 PM and she came back to the room about 5 PM. She is in a little pain, but able to get a little rest. Both procedures went well. The scan have been postponed until Monday.
We appreciate the prayers.
In Christ,
Britt

I wanted to give you an update. Julie went in for surgery about 1230 Oklahoma time. The surgery is expected to be about two hours. They are doing some surgical work to prevent the fluid from building up again and they are also putting in the port for her chemo. Please keep us in prayers.

Good morning all, well they have moved up my surgery date to this afternoon. The surgery will take the lung lining and attach it to the ribs to keep fluid from gathering around the lung again and they will also put in my port too. I just want you all to know that I have been a good patient and didn't argue about being admitted or even this surgery. I don't want the cancer to beat me I want Jesus to have victory over this. Well the meds are calling my eyes so I am signing off for now and britt will give you all any updates.

Hey everyone, this is Britt writing for Julie tonight. Today, she had her first appointment with her oncologist. Well, it did not go as we expected. Julie has had a tremendous time breathing since Monday. When they called us back to see the doctor, the doctor walked in and said I don't want to scare you, but we must admit you in the hospital in order to correct the breathing problem. It appears the tumors have blocked the flow of oxygen to the right lung which caused fluid to build up and it is pushing the right lung towards the left lung. They wheeled her in a wheel chair to the hospital (which was in the adjoining building) and immediately inserted a drain to relieve to some of the pressure.
Since they have her at the hospital, tomorrow they are doing MRI's and CAT scans for a brain scan, chest scan, abdomen scan, and any other scan they come up with between now and tomorrow. :-) First, they want to ensure the cancer has not spread and they want to make sure the spots in the lung has not grown drastically.
It's been a pretty emotional day, but Julie is doing better now. She's able to talk better without being winded, but the drain is painful. I'll try to keep you posted until she up to writing.
Know that we appreciate your prayers and concern.
In Christ,
Britt

Good morning to our friends in Japan and good evening to our friends here. Well the last couple of days have been hard. I've had some difficulty breathing. I have stopped the coughing. However, the tube that is blocked with the tumors has truly irritated my lungs and walking, talking. laying down (you name it) gives me trouble. I keep praying Ps 121 and seeking His help and yes, I do get discouraged, however I am trying very hard to not stay this way. I finally go to the doctor tomorrow and prayerfully he will have a solution that will help with breathing.

Calling all hearts
How my heart is burdened with prayer for all these sweet children that I have come across while blogging over the last month. How thankful I am for the blogging community and their commitment to prayer. If you haven't heard already please pray for Abby. I am not sure of the details except that she has been admitted to the hospital. One look at her beautiful face and your heart will melt also!

Prayer Warriors Needed
As I was checking in on Brayden and Harper I came across this post from Kelly asking for prayer concerning one of her blogger friends Cynthiaa. My heart is breaking just typing this so I can only imagine the grief that Cynthiaa is feeling after losing her baby boy at 38 weeks due to him being strangled by his umbilical cord. Cynthiaa had a C-section and is still in the hospital with a possible infection. Please visit her blog for more of her story as you will fall to your knees in tears and I know that God will place a burden on your heart to pray for her!!!!
