More than two years ago, I asked for your prayers for my son, who was undergoing treatment for a malignant brain tumor. His treatment at the time, though physically brutal, was successful. However, Austin's cancer has returned, and he will be going back into radiation and chemo soon - he had surgery last week.
This is so hard - he pretty much missed Middle School with this, and now here goes High School. Pray for him to enjoy college...
We will very much appreciate all of your prayers. Thanks you.

Prayer Ping...................
What WONDERFUL news!!! To this news I offer this Scripture passage:
"The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth forever." (Plalm 111:2~3)
The truly amazing power of prayer....and of so many righteous people humbly offering this prayer to our Great High Priest who understands us all and loves of all with a love we cannot even fathom, but are ever so greatful for!
"Austin", dear "Austin", we are your prayer family. We love you and want you to know it; every day...every good day and every difficult day. We love your family who cares so deeply and consistently and lovingly for you! We will you to be well; completely well, one fine day. We celebrate your strong, resilent spirit which continues to fight on so bravely!
I have been busy with my family, and will probably continue to be for a while yet. But not a day goes by when I do not check in and read how so many faithful prayers warriors consistently pray for you and bump and ping this thread.
"...Austin is stunned by the outpouring...:
It blesses my soul too, "Austin", believe me. These good, decent, and honorable people inspire me!! I have found the following on a tiny little calendar:
"The Bible is perpetual testimony that God has always dealth with His people in Grace."
Then this verse is quoted:
"...;in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)
Together, we are united in looking with hope and expectation for that day when your weeping and your family's weping ends because the joy had indeed come in the morning!!
And so you have, "sleuth"...you can be counted on for sure and for certain. May He bless you richly!!
Thank you sooooo much "M0sby" for your faithful and consistent prayer and bumping of this prayer thread. You too, can be counted on! The Lord bestow His blessings on you and those you love the most in this world!!
Not nearly as much as I should be Nancee.
Thank you so much for reminding me.
I seem to think about, and pray for Austin a lot when I am not near my computer..and I have a terrible memory so I forget to bump the prayer thread.
I do pray for you Austin..and I am praying hard for you.
Keep the faith and hope..and let God do the rest.
Thanks Nancee...sleuth
Thank you Nancee...we are blessed daily with the health of our family...we are thankful indeed.
And you, "divine_moment_of_facts", it is many, many times that you have bumped this thread and prayed for "Austin" and his good family!! Thank you so much; so very, very much!!
We really care about Austin. I hope this next phase also brings continued progress. Prayers continue.
There is simply no way to measure His goodness to our families; is there?
