please pray
last night, we had a pretty busy saturday scheduled - beginning with pictures in the a.m. and ending up at a karate "spar-a-thon" in the afternoon, then likely meeting some family for dinner or something. this morning, my grandmother calls and says they are calling an ambulance for my papaw (the one that has been battling lung cancer). apparently, he's not up to even making it out to the car on his own.
so, that drastically changed the plans. we rearranged to have those pictures on another day, we set aside the spar-a-thon, and mom and dad went to the hospital, along with my aunt and uncle. before too long, they decided to keep him in icu for a couple of days at least, due to low blood pressure, chills, fever, and the strong possibility of an infection. please lift him up as well as my dad, uncle marty, and grandmother.

I'm so, so, sorry to hear about your papaw.
I will be thinking of you and your family. Prayers are coming to you.
No Average Girl,
I hate seeing this kind of thing (a brother or sister in Christ in pain over a loved one)... I can never say I can relate to people who have loved ones that are sick or passing away... But I long to see my sister in Christ restored. There are no words that come to my lips...
It's so easy looking in from the outside sometimes... as I said, I can't relate to all that is going on within your family. Far be it for me to say so... But looking in sometimes brings me the greatest hope for that sister in grieving. I see the hope for the loved one. I see the hope that we find in the resurrection. Christ died so that when we die, the chains of death which so clearly weigh us down in this world, would be broken. Nothing can stop that which Christ accomplished upon the Cross, Nothing. There is always a time of grieving, but then the beautiful rejoicing afterwards. Yes I say rejoicing... Rejoicing because there is no better place than heaven for our loved ones!
I am praying for each of you (you, your sister, other sister, mother, father... all of you).
Heavenly Father, it's at times like this that we need You most. It hurts. There is no comfort in death itself. But the unfathomable joy found in the resurrection... oh that we would look past the pain to the joy found at the right hand of the throne of God. Father I pray for this family that You would both strenghthen them for the road ahead and more than that, carry them over. You have made a promise. A promise of everlasting life. Father you are faithful. Grant to us the unconditional hope found in Christ and Christ alone. I lift up papaw to You. Draw him close to you, embrace him with Your unfailing love. Father have Your way with us. In Christ's holy and precious name, amen...
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;" Hebrews 10:23 (NASB-U)
