Sunday

“The thought of my pain,

my homelessness,

is bitter poison.

I think of it constantly,

and my spirit is depressed.

Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:

The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue,

fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.

The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope.”

~Lamentations 3:19-24 TEV~

There will be NO BIBLE STUDY this morning!  Our Hatchel family is here for a few days!

Martha P. Drago

Today I completed a journey that started exactly nine months ago. When this all started I thought it was going to be all doom and gloom. I imagined the absolute worst of times and it would have been had I not surrendered completely to God. The last nine months have been a blessing to me in so many ways! I’m not saying it hasn’t been difficult at times or without some tears, but I have learned to trust God more than I ever thought possible, I have learned to be grateful for today, God has my tomorrow. I have seen what the power of prayer can do, I have realized what a truly wonderful family I have and God has placed amazing people in my path! I have learned that my God was bigger than anything I was facing. I have also learned that no matter what you are going through, there are people who are in tougher situations. Pray for them! I have learned that I have some pretty awesome friends too! Friends that offered to drive me for treatment, friends who lent shoulders to cry on, friends who prayed for me and asked others to pray for me, a friend who showed up on my first visit to Mary Bird because I had a melt down when I saw the words “cancer center” and it hit me why I was really there!!! I am so grateful for my church family!! The love, support and prayers I received from them was phenomenal !!! They are an awesome group of people!!!

So I want to finish by saying that I am truly grateful and humbled by the prayers and support I have received! Please continue to pray for me ( and my sweet Macy) because I know how powerful prayer is!!!! Remember that no matter what lies ahead…God is already there!!!!

She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31:25

Dan Turner

Great day today! The trial produced positive results. Dan will undergo another day of trial testing tomorrow with a larger dose to obtain more objective results. Keep the prayers coming folks!  (Written by Ladd Turner)

Boots is home and back at work.  At his appointment yesterday, he learned he may never know what caused his problem, but he is doing well now.  The Prescotts appreciate all the love and concern shown to them during this difficult week.

  • 17 hours ago                                                                                                                                               We’re waiting on counts, and hoping that they are better than last week, so we can resume chemo (and enjoy our camping trip with family.)
  • 12 hours ago                                                                                                                                                      We didn’t have a very good day at clinic. Macy’s counts have dropped even lower, and now she’s neutropenic. This comes with all the precautions: mask, food prep, isolation, etc…She also had some mind boggling lab results. They have been checking the level of her nighttime chemo in her blood over the last month. Apparently the results don’t make since (one part is way too high and one is way too low.) BR called Memphis, and they are even stumped. So they gave us a plan, which is to continue chemo as planned, even though her counts are almost bottomed out. This makes everyone nervous, so we’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on her this week.

    In addition to all of this, Macy had some major port issues that caused a good bit of pain. Thank God for her wonderful nurses who eventually saved the day.

    We’re still going camping, but Macy will have to miss playing in the lake and splash pad. No germs! No germs! No germs. Maybe if I say it enough it’ll happen.

Carol Jean Conerly

Pray for Carol Jean and her family as she has knee surgery today.

Mr. Phillip Harrell

Mr. Phillip fell in his kitchen and broke his hand again.  Please continue to pray for Mr. Phillip and “Miss” Annie Bell.  Also, pray for their daughter Phyllis, who is their primary caregiver.
