My Dear Friends,
Al and I are back from MD Anderson. We had more tests and blood work and then we met with the doctor. My scans had not changed much nor had my bloodwork. I am so thankful the cancer had not spread. Unfortunately, even MD Anderson did not have a drug, even one in a trial phase, that was far enough along to treat my specific cancer. I never realized how many different types of cancers there can be within one specific organ such as the pancreas. So the news was not what we had hoped for, but let us remember that it is Almighty God who will determine my days.
There is a story about David and Bathsheba in 1 Samuel 12 that teaches me how to pray. David had had an affair with Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife, which resulted in a pregnancy. Nathan, the prophet, reminded David of his sin and David humbly repented in brokenness before God and God forgave him. However, the consequence would be that the baby would die. David prayed for days and did not eat or drink, but continuously cried out to God to let the baby live. His servants were even worried about his mental and physical state. After the baby died, David got up, washed himself and ate, and went to the temple to worship God. His men were amazed at how well he responded to the death of the child. What I see in David’s prayers and response is a complete yielding to God’s will, as well as an intimate understanding that God was so merciful that he might spare the baby. David knew the character of God was so good and I’m sure he had already experienced God’s mercy in his own life.
Please pray for me, knowing as David did, that God can heal me at any time He chooses. Until I am in His presence in Heaven, I shall pray for His divine healing and the strength to still do His will. Thank you, dear friends, for your faithful prayers for me.

Nancy, you are in our prayers daily and our prayer warriors at church continue to pray for God’s grace and mercy. We are so sorry that you are having to go through this. We are praying also for Al and all the family. A scripture that I have found comforting is Psalm 121. “I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” Our love to you and your family.
