She is Human …

This is from Metisha:

“Feeling defeated today:(. Please pray for my positive attitude and belief in healing to return. I'm doubting. I don't like to feel this way:(. I want to live to be an old lady. God is in charge of my life and I'm at peace with that. I just hope his plan is for a long healthy life for me:). Love you all!”

Anytime Metisha feels down or defeated she thinks she’s being a wimp and letting all of her supporters down. But we just tell her it’s ok to be human and she is a million times stronger than we could ever be in her shoes and she can NEVER let us down!

The chemo is starting to hit her hard and she has another round today. She is feeling run down and overall not good. She’s also having a lot of pain in areas where there is known cancer and some numbness. When she has pain it always triggers fear that the cancer is spreading. When she goes to treatment this afternoon she is going to ask if they can move her next scan up so we can know sooner if this new chemo is working.

It’s hard to watch her hurt and to see her down and to feel like there is nothing we can do to help. But no matter what we can always pray. We don’t know what God’s plan is for Metisha but we know he loves her beyond measure and her health is in his hands. Of course that doesn’t stop us from trying to march up to him and tell him exactly how we want this to play out! Well the Bible tells us we don’t need to march, just prayerfully submit our requests to God. Please continue to pray with us:

• Pray that Philippians 4:6 can be real in our hearts (especially Metisha's) as we wait to see if God is using this chemo for healing.
• Pray that Metisha will be uplifted and will not remain in this valley.
• Pray that Metisha can regain all of energy and not feel any affects of chemo.
• Pray that all the pain and numbness will be gone, immediately.
• Pray that Metisha will feel the love and support of everyone who loves her and not let Satan turn that into a sense of pressure to be strong.
• Pray that cancer is shrinking to extinction, not growing.
• Pray that God is using the chemo to give her a miracle of 100% complete healing and that she can soon stop the chemo and remain cancer free.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. Philippians 4:5-7

Dear God, we pray that you wash Metisha’s body with a miracle and clean her cells of all cancer. We ask that you restore her strength, both mentally and physically, and relieve all the pain in her body. We believe this chemo is your tool that will heal her and pray you keep that faith strong. We are so thankful for the blessing Metisha is to her family and friends and for the constant inspiration she is to us. We are thankful for the good health you have given her through her cancer battle. And we are most thankful that she is your child, fiercely loved by you!
