Special prayer needed!

We have a special need for prayer right now as we deal with a sensitive medical situation in a family who attends our services. Even though I have been trying to express my thoughts and share this story with our blog readers on both this ministry blog and my (Dee Dee's) personal blog I have not bee able to put it all into words. 

I just wanted to ask everyone to be praying for us tomorrow (Friday) morning at 11 am as we drive a dear lady, Katya, to a doctor's appointment at a cancer hospital in the city.

Again, there is so much to tell of our experiences with this family over this past few months, but as I sit down to write a blog post my heart seems to go numb. 

We need doctors to be gracious enough to answer questions and be honest with us. 

We need for God to give us the exact words to say.

We need God's mercy and comfort as we explain the inevitable to family and the patient herself.

We need grace to say it all as God would have us to say it.

We need HIS perfect timing and opportunity for all of this. My heart is broken and this is the last thing I would want to do but at the same time I am thankful for the Lord allowing me to go through this valley with this family. God's grace will be sufficient for them as well as it has been for us in trying times!

Thank you for your prayers! We will keep you all updated and I will work on sharing Katya's story!
