Pray for our Family....



If you are a follower of my blog can I ask you to pray for our family. So much is going on and I am feeling so overwhelmed. For those of you that don't know, my twin brother Lorin is literally dying of Brain cancer before our eyes. He is so young to be dying of this dreadful cancer. It's so very hard to see him so confused and getting more confused daily. My husband has to be out of town allot for the next few weeks and I miss him dearly. He's always there for me to cry on his shoulder. I've had a sick 2 yr old and I'm not finding allot of Joy in homeschooling. I feel like my house is falling apart. If you are a praying person could you lift up our family in prayer, especially my sweet brother Lorin.

Because HE lives I can face tomorrow!!!!

I am sorry for all that you are going through and will put you, your brother and your family on my prayer list. It is so hard to lose those we love.

I will definately pray... I know the trying times as far as husband being away, Mark was away a week ago, leaves tomorrow for 4 days and then again next week back to WA for 3 days... Caleb hit it on the head the other day and said, Mommy, we just aren't a family when Daddy is gone... it broke my heart... but I am thankful to have a husband that works so hard! We love and miss you all! I will keep praying!

Lisa,
We don't seem to grow except in struggles. I am praying that this will cause you all to grow closer to our Lord and each other. Praying for your kids too. Especially E.

God is our refuge and strength; A very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1.

May you feel that strength as you snuggle into His refuge.
Much love,
Debby W.

Praying for you, your family and especially for Lorin. Our family went through a similar situation nearly ten years ago. I was the main caregiver of my terminally ill mother-in-love (who was like a mother to me), was h'schooling my two young children and a firefighter husband working 24 and 48 hour shifts. I won't pretend it wasn't hard--it was the hardest thing I've ever gone through--emotionally, physically and spiritually. But this I know: Jesus was near to me (and our family) through it all. Nearer than I could have ever known not having gone through such a heart-wrenching experience. I grew to know my Savior in such a precious way and learned that His grace *is* truly sufficient. Always. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10)

Praying for you, dear one...

Aloha Lisa, I will definitely keep your family in our prayers. I feel so blessed when I visit your blog. I love how you've shared your family with us all and allowed us to be a part of it. Thank you! I just recently started up in blogland (thanks to my BFF Jen of Pieces of Me)and because you inspire me, I have added you to my "Favorites". I will pop in often, to follow up on your brother. God Bless you and your precious family! By the way, we homeschool as well and we love it. Thanks for sharing.
