in the world of GBM
In the world of a someone with a Glioblastoma (GBM = stage IV brain cancer), things tend to change quickly. Unfortunately, today was another bad change. We woke up this morning and she has lost just about all of her speech and her right ear is starting to go in and out. Basically, when she talks now, its just to let me know to start giving her guessing options. We do the yes/no elimination. It limits our communication, but its working for now.
The reason I’m writing is because I feel like people are losing faith. At times, I have lost faith myself…so I understand that place. But, it is NOT time to lose faith. If you aren’t a Christian, then I appreciate your browsing and staying on top of Misty’s status…but these words are for those of us who put our trust in God.
In John chapter 16, Jesus is talking to his disciples, telling them that he has to leave but that he will still be in control. In verse 33 he says:
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
As seemilngly impossible as this situation is, we need to remember that Jesus already overcame the world. Curing cancer is nothing for him. So today, we are believing that God is going to do something big in Misty.
Tonight we will be at a prayer meeting, expecting to get something from God. I’m really trusting him to heal her. If you have any faith at all, join us in prayer anytime from 7pm to 11pm tonight.
Last night Misty managed to convey to me that she wanted people to pray. Her words were “Please Pray”. She is believing and trusting in God. She actually conveyed that she is excited about tonight prayer. Lets join her in believing…
PS – on a different note, I’m amazed by the outpouring of love from so many people. Really, while we are down and out (sorry about the lack of thank you cards) it is encouraging to have such support.
