Update & Prayer request

I apologize if I my updates on Mamaw are a nuisance (and I truly mean that),
but I am sending them out to anyone who I think may say a prayer for her because the more lifting her up to the Lord, the better, in my opinion.
I am sorry a prayer request via the computer is so informal,
but honestly it's a good way to reach a lot of people at once :-)

We learned today that Mamaw not only has cancer in her liver, but also in her stomach, pancreas, and lungs. She is 83.
I realize that to most, it would sound like the end for her.
I know that all of us will die.
I know she is elderly and has lived a full, long, beautiful life.
I know this.
I also know that GOD is a GOD of miracles.
I know that with Him ALL things are possible.

We have learned of a dr. in Oklahoma who has a very high success rate of curing cancer...his oldest patient was 92! He worked with someone who had success with a 95 year old.
My point here, is that I want the Lord's will to be done.
He may be ready for her to come home.
On the other hand, His will may involve her spending 10 more years or so on this Earth with us.
This thing is...we just don't know....and I don't want her to be in prolonged pain...but I also am NOT ready for her to go. I want more time with her...so badly.
So, I am asking, begging really...for you to spend some time in prayer for us...
the dr. in Oklahoma is very hard to get into...people are waiting in line to see him...
I would ask you to pray that we are able to get in quickly to see him for a consultation to at least see what he has to say. That my Mamaw will have peace, yet not give up hope. That she will be in as little pain as possible. Above all, I pray that the Lord's will be done.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." {Matt 18:18-20 RSV}

"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." —Matthew 19:26

Thank you from the very core of my heart for taking even just a few moments to offer up prayer for my Mamaw...thank you so much.....

PS For those that don't know her personally, Her name is Pauline Carter...so you will have a specific name for your prayer...

Love to you all,
Katy
