Lifting Up a Sister in Christ ๐
Ooookay, today I'm getting WAY out of my comfort zone for this one... But I definitely need some prayers sent this way. (And if you're also a member of my community, I'd appreciate it if all this info I'm about to get into would stay here please! ๐) My Mother In Law has really been a force of good in my life in the past year or so, and she probably has no idea just how much she's helped me grow in my walk of faith in that time. About a month ago, she came over and told us that she hadn't been feeling well lately, and after getting some testing done the results showed a 95% chance of her having cancer... For the past month or so, my fiancรฉ and I have been helping his mom navigate through a bunch stress, leading up to and including a biopsy last week. Yesterday we got (almost) all of the results in, and what started as suspected Lyme's disease has officially been diagnosed as Stage 3 Breast Cancer. She's still deciding on the course of treatment she wants to take, which is a whole other battle. But all that said and extremely condensed so I'm not presenting y'all with an entire book... I just wanted to ask you guys for some prayers. I'm still learning how to be bold in my faith and ask help when I need it, even if it's not as elegant as I feel like it's supposed to be, and I'm hoping this is step 1 in that plan. I know God's got a plan for her, for us, and our entire family, and it's so much better than anything I could even comprehend. I know I'm extremely grateful it's not Stage 4 and still considered treatable. And I also know that this is probably the biggest test of my faith so far... But iron doesn't sharpen iron without contact. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate this new season we've found ourselves in, and I hope ya'll have a blessed day ๐
