It's been a while since my last posting. My mom was diagnosed a few weeks ago with stage 3 going to 4 lung cancer spreading to other areas of her body. Notwithstanding that she has been working with tumeric and pepper as a supplement and there seems to have been some improvement. Her lungs actually aren't that bad (her cancer is in the right side primarily) but so far preliiminary oxygen levels were tolerable. Nonetheless she has opted for home hospice care to supplement the aide that comes in now more or less daily for a few hours while I'm at work. We are in the process of getting someone to work with my dad who has dementia experience.
Needless to say things have been challenging around here; foremost of course with my parents not knowing the Lord. My Pastor said he was driving all day after the service as her 95 year old mom was dying; but she knows the Lord. He has to come back tonight as there are some other obligations so you can keep him in prayer.
This situation has caused at least several people in my church to pray for me on a daily basis; one guy in fact who is retired says he prayer several TIMES a day for me. I have one prayer request my mom is trying to sell one of her cars and since the dealer actually was in an accident when he was returning it a few years back after service we are trying to get a decent deal there; or elsewhere.
I have not really thought about posts here lately. I would appreciate prayer if it is His will anytime soon to resume that; as for the time being I still haven't freed more time for anything but the Sunday service.
Finally as far as often contentious issues with my parents for now the Lord hasn't given me any options for moving out. Mainly I want to be able to continue to be a decent witness and share my faith whenever I can.
Matthew 7:13-14 and like verses are brought to mind. My prayer for myself and others is that the enemy will not succeed in wrecking our witness in these dark days.
