Update on Ron Again

Ron went home to be with the Lord tonight around 8:00 pm. Another friend Bill, went home yesterday. It has been a very hard week. Please keep these families in prayer. One was an accidental shooting and the other was just a long work of labor. I don't believe Ron ever came out of the coma. When they called me at 6:00 they said that they only gave him two hours. I could hear the grief in their voices.

Love you all!

Wanted You To Know

This past Sunday I was asked to give the "Good News" about my continuing healing at Always In His Presence Ministries. God has been so good to me. I'm not even sure what all I said, but when I looked around many people were wiping their eyes. I had written out like 7 pages of things I thought needed to be said but when I got up there, they went out the window and I just spoke spontaneously from my Spirit. The people in this church have prayed and prayed and supported us so well. We have decided to attend this church. The ladies in this church are the ones that have written the dramas and music that we take into the prisons.

I just received an invitation from a Spanish Church in Canada to give my testimony. It's so important to do that. We don't have a passport but will have to get one. This Church has been so supportive of us. They are the ones that came to the Migrant Ministry we did in Adrian for 4 years. They sing and preach in the Migrant's language and believe me, we saw many souls saved during those 4 years as a result of their ministry.

Also I have been invited into a Hungarian Church that has taken us on like we can't even believe. They pray and pray for us. I haven't been given a date to come in there yet, but it will be in God's timing. I just know that I need to be ready when the time comes.

There is another church we call the Rock and Roll Church the Pastor sent word that he wanted me to give my testimony on video. Not sure when that one will happen either but God knows.

Now a prayer request for my neighbor - I'm not sure of any of the details but his wife sent me an email and said that their dog bit her husband's thumb off. They were able to reattach it but it will never be 100%. This was a dog that I never thought was anything but sweet. They did put the dog to sleep.

Red Letter Day!

As you know, it has been a tough couple of years for us. Actually it has been 3 years, but the 1st one wasn't so bad, with the exception of the ugly word cancer and all of the surprise and fear that goes with it. The reason the 1st wasn't so bad we thought everything was taken care of. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The doctor gave me the wrong medicine. Of course it wasn't the doctor that I have now.

So today I went to get the Avastan that I get on Thursdays. The port I have has not been working properly for the last 3 weeks, so I kind of had a panic attack at home. I was in the tub and didn't have the strength to get out. Thank God I waited until Barry got home so he could help me out. I have to say that was the 1st time I have cried, but it was so hard. I realized I was nervous over the port because if it did not work today, I would have to have a test to make sure it was in the the proper place and if it wasn't I would have to have it replaced, which meant a minor surgery.


I got there and the blood came flowing out quickly. Thank the Lord. Then I had to know if the blood levels were good enough for the Avastan, they were fine. I got the Avastan. Today was the last day that I had any appointments and I was out of some of the medicine. Debbie, his office assistant, said you really need to see him. I said I am so tired I don't think I can hold my eyes open long enough to sit there. Sometimes it is hours. Debbie loves us so much, she put us in right away. God's favor.

The doctor walked in the room shortly and shook our hands. How are you doing, he asked me. He said you look good and I see that you are wiggling your feet. That's a good thing. He checked my eyes and asked how I was walking and then checked the strength of my legs two different times and then said you are strong. He then had me lay down and he checked the liver. He was elated at how good I am doing. He said you are doing amazingly well. He also told us after checking to see if I was having headaches and so on he checked my eyes to make sure there was nothing there. He said the brain tumors are no longer an issue because they are gone.

He looked at Debbie and told her, this lady is going to make it. Translation: You shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Psalms 118:17 (KJV). I didn't die, I lived and now I am telling the world what God did. Psalms 118:17 (The Message Bible)

Just last week even though I already knew I said to Barry, it would just be so good to have this healing validated. The Lord told me that he had already validated it, but still it is such a good thing to hear it from the doctor. Look what the Lord has done!

Update on Ron

Today I had to have my Avastan and while I was getting it, one of the nurses ask us how he was doing. We hadn't really heard. Barry went up to see him and he was being put on life support. He said there was so much activity in that room, as you can imagine. Apparently one of his lungs collapsed and because of his condition they decided to put him on life support. Carolyn is a mess, who wouldn't be? They have been going through this for 3 years now. I don't believe it has been this severe, as far as life support.

While I was sitting getting the medicine, Ron's sister walked in my room. She is exhausted with the whole thing too. She is the one that gave him the bone marrow transplant. They are also going to put him on dialysis when he is able.

She looked at me today and said I can't do this again. I lost my sister, my brother and my dad because of sugar and dialysis. Please pray for her too, if you don't mind.

If you would like to send them a word of encouragement please email me and I will give you their address.
realbusygranny@yahoo.com Please put in the subject line: Ron or address in case I don't know who you are.

Thank you all so much for caring. God bless. Love you!

Love and appreciate you so very, very much.

"Little" Miracles - Is There Any Such Thing?


I guess we have to figure that out for ourselves. For me, EVERYTHING is huge. I had been looking for a book called Healed of Cancer by Dodie Osteen. It is out of print and even when I called Lakewood, they didn't have it.


When we went to dinner with Mary Ann and George, she had breast cancer, I believe it was 9 years ago now. She is completely cancer free. Thank you, Jesus. Anyway, we discussed the book and she said that she used that book constantly. She thought she might have one somewhere.


Monday around noon or so, I was sitting at the table eating and it was bright and sunny outside. Had all of the blinds up and the front door open. I saw Pazzetta coming up my walk way. I was expecting her. She was very surprised that I knew she was coming. I was so not surprised. She lost my phone number and didn't really know exactly where we lived. She had been here a few times but just was unsure where we lived.
Anyway, guess what she brought me? Healed of Cancer by Dodie Osteen. I opened the bag and started crying. I told her that this is a miracle...and explained the story to her. She said she had never heard of the book before but felt in her Spirit to pick it up. Isn't God so good to me?
As soon as she left I read the entire little book and it has helped me SO much!
Thank you Pazzetta for listening and thank you Holy Spirit for speaking!

The "T" Man

Gracie
Bella

The "T" Man

Bear has been working 12 hours a day for the last little while. He wanted to go to breakfast when he got off today at 11. We started going to breakfast and he said you want to pick up "T" man today? I said sure. Kate was with her dad's family this weekend.


When Bear called Am, T was so happy to go. Sure I'm hungry he said. We picked him up and he was just the best. We had such a good time with him. He told his gramps that he wanted to come home with us but Bear told him that he had to go to bed cause he had to get up for work by 6 pm. It was near 1:00 by then.


He then asked me if he could stay with me and I told him I thought I might go shopping, however, I wore out before we got home.


We took him to the drug store with us and they had remote cars there. He was happy to go show his dad what he got. He is such a doll!


After we took him home, our niece Danielle, came to get him and Bella, along with Gracie to go to the park. It was a beautiful day today.


Anyway, apparently at the park some girls were making fun of Gracie. These little ones were about 5 and had NO parents with them.


Tristin is such a protector...like his dad...remember him and Gracie are both only 3. Doesn't that seem young to be a protector like that? Tristin apparently picked up a tree branch and started chasing the girls with it. He was pretty mad I guess.

Breakfast Yesterday!

Yesterday, one of Bear's cousins called and we decided to go out to breakfast. She and her husband and daughter and son-in-law were all going to join us. Bear has one aunt and uncle that has 5 kids and now their kids have kids and so on. It is a wonderful family and I am so glad that I am part of it.

Anyway when we got there all of the older kids were there. It was such a nice surprise I could hardly believe it. We all love each other so much but just don't hardly get together. Everyone has their own family and grandchildren and when we all did get together the last time there were well over 100 of us. We had to rent a hall.

We decided that we will do this breakfast once a month. It could definitely grow with each month. What a fun time we had. We laughed alot and just had a great time. Thank you Lord for a great family!
