Last night I recieved devastating news – my mom has had a series of mini strokes that culminated in a big stroke. They discovered the cause was a rare blood disease that needs a series of emergency blood transfusions or else she won’t make it.
Most people who read this know that my dad has been critically ill with cancer for the past several months – so this has really shaken me… to have both of my parents in serious danger of dying at any time.
It seems like more than I can bear at moments.
I left the states with both of them in great health, and since being overseas I’m losing both of them to fatal diseases.
Please keep me, my family and my parents in your prayers. We all desperately need it.
I need guidance about whether to rush home, or to stay here. If I leave then that’s it – I’ll be back for good… and that isn’t what my heart wants to do… but it’s all very confusing right now.
KatieYG:
God is just so cool–he says to just ask and we will receive wisdom…and he’s also the healing God. He doesn’t just do partial healings, he does WHOLE healings. I will be praying for a total healing for your parents…I believe it and I believe that they receive their healing. Jesus took those stripes on his back so that we can have the healing power…and Isaiah 53 it says that by his stripes we are healed…so I claim that verse over your parents. God will counsel you with your decision of leaving or staying, and he will also provide with that, a peace of mind as well as confirmation in your heart. I will most definitely be praying for you and your family. Keep believing.
