I would like to share with you an urgent prayer request for one of our Front Porch Sisters who needs you right now. You may have seen her picture on this site, you may know her personally or you may have never heard her name, but Jesus has called us in Galatians 6:2 to "Share each others burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ."
Even if you have never met her God has led you to this site where you could see her name, hear her story and pray for her son. You are now a part of his plan for reaching out to her family and covering them in prayer.
There is an amazing young boy named Nick. Nick is Tammy's son(check out bios down right side of blog) who has been battling brain cancer since he was 6. He is now 13 and has been in and out of remission, but an MRI Tuesday morning resulted in devastating news for their family.
Nick's cancer has returned and he has a tumor in his brain, a second tumor or bleed on the top of his head and a bone cancer of sorts in one of his vertebrae. This godly woman has not only watched her son battle this cancer, with 5 brain surgery's, spinal surgery, chemo and more, she also lost a baby daughter to SIDS, and has four other children, one adopted from India, yet her focus remains steadfast on the Lord and his plan.
The afternoon of her sons MRI results, instead of crawling in a corner, which I can imagine most of us would do, she asked me if she could write our next Front Porch blog, which ironically is on prayer. Nick was, at that time, playing in the pool despite the recent news. The tumor is inoperable and this family does not know what the next step will be.
They have reached out and asked that if anyone has any medical resources, knowledge or knows any avenues they could pursue to please post here. They are desperately praying over the right direction for Nick.
God is not done here. I fully believe the answers may lie with someone who might just be passing by. God is that amazing! I absolutely believe that God can turn this diagnosis and situation around and make it be a miraculous healing for his glory, and your prayers can make that happen. I believe he is using this site and others to rally an army of prayer warriors for Nick and we are boldly asking for 100% healing of his physical body; respecting God's will, yet rejoicing in the fact that with God all things are possible.
He has called on us to pray for this child and I promise, if you will allow yourself to set your fears aside and check out Nick's site all about his journey, you will not come away fearful. You will come away blessed by this amazing joy-filled child who has the strength of character that we can only hope to have if ever tested by such a fire.
This site was created when God put it on my heart that we needed a place to come together as women and challenge ourselves to reach out beyond our comfort zone and through baby steps begin acting with intention each day. Right now you don't have to look very far to find one of God's sweet daughters who needs you.
Please come back on Sunday to be blessed by Tammy's blog about prayer.
