Update................

You guys are such awesome prayer warriors. Nothing makes me smile more than one of you asking to please please update ASAP. Shawnna's surgery went AWESOME! They didn't start until much later in the day so we didn't get a final "out" until like 9:00 last night. I am certain a prayer for her family's strength would be much appreciated. Also, we still need to pray for her liver to be fully renewed as the chemo has killed the cancer but done some damage to her liver as well. Also, there are still some traces of cancer in her bones so please pray for those to literally DISAPPEAR. Finally, as you can bet, this sweet friend has fought literally for her life for years now. I keep thinking of that verse, Ish 40:31 "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." That, to me, sums up what our prayer should be for Shawnna. She has 3 young girls to raise, a house hold to run, income to make, and I am assuming a cancer fighting diet to stick to without waiver. God is going to give her the grace to do all of these things and to do them well. We cannot understand how someone has walked in her shoes because we have not received that grace ourselves. But HE is faithful to provide! Let's pray that she, like never before in her entire life, puts all of her HOPE in the Lord! I love you guys and I am so thankful for your prayers!!!!!!!!!!!
