"Spirit Lead Me Where My Trust is Without Borders..."
Hi friends, this is Jenna (Janet's daughter-in-law) again. Tony just called and asked that I would update Janet's blog for her tonight. Janet is really needing prayer... She actually asked me to post this text that I sent her yesterday and I was already planning that, so I will go ahead and post this along with a few more specific prayer requests.
------I sent this out to Janet, Tony, Jordan, David and Bryan yesterday as a prayer for our family-----
In reading the story of Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:22-33) this morning God revealed a
few things to me. Peter had enough faith that he believed that if Jesus
called him out of the boat, that he would be able to stand on the water. Jesus did
command him, Peter followed, faith unfaltering, until he saw the wind
and unsteady waters. He called out to Jesus and Jesus saved him
IMMEDIATELY... And asked him why he doubted.
In this season, The Lord is calling Janet and our family out on to the
water. We had unfaltering faith until lately when Janet started
struggling so much. Now, we call out to Jesus to save her, rescue her,
heal her. He promises us that he is there immediately. That there is a
plan... and asks why we have such little faith?!
Father, I pray over Janet and our family today. We are out on the water,
in the midst of a storm. Waves are crashing all around us. Steady the
waters, strengthen our faith and bring healing to Janet. We know that
when we call out to you, that you come and save us immediately. I pray over Janet- that where ever you are calling her- immediately save
her, rescue her from this storm, put her back in the boat and hold her
in your arms.
Ease her nausea today and bring a new sense of peace over her. We love you and trust that you can heal her.
In your almighty name I pray! Jenna

I write tonight asking all of our friends and family, along with other people who have come across Janet's blog for whatever reason, to stop and call out to Jesus on Janet's behalf. These last few weeks have taken a huge toll on her physically & emotionally. Janet's major problem right now is that her throat is in a lot of pain. The radiologist told her that towards the end of her Radiation she might have some throat soreness, but she still has 5 treatments left and is in a lot of pain that is not being managed by her pain medication currently. She is also still battling the nausea and having to force herself to eat.
A few specific requests:
1. Pray for her pain to ease in her throat. Not only is she having the nausea but it is hard for her to swallow now too.
2. Pray for her nausea to subside.
3. Continue to pray for Tony as he is staying home to be with her.
4. Pray for a miracle. Pray that the cancer disappears. Pray that God pulls Janet up into the boat with him and heals her body. I know and believe that He can heal the sick. So we are praying for a mighty work in Janet's body.
We are so so grateful to have had friends bring meals this week and offer to help out in other various ways. We covet each and every prayer and we know that they are being heard and we are so thankful to have all of the support and love given to our family.
Father, please give Janet comfort, spiritually and physically, as she battles this disease. Please give Janet and her family Your peace. You know how difficult her trial is - thank you for walking so closely with her. When she feels overwhelmed, please reassure her that you understand what she goes through. Thank you dear Lord for the people who are with her. This is so tough for her Lord. We stand by helplessly. May Janet have many more days that she is able to rejoice!
Oh, I am so, so sorry that Janet is having to go through this and pray that she will feel His presence as never before and that the pain and nausea will subside. What a testimony and inspiration she has been through this journey. Prayers going up for her here in Bastrop, Louisiana.
Praying in so. Calif. Psalm 121:1-8 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
I'm praying for all of you today. I came across Janet's blog when my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Janet, your words have always comforted me and led me to see The Lord when I was fearful and faithless. You have been such an encourager. I pray that God would rescue you. I pray for strength and wholeness. I pray for your family- Lord, wrap your arms around them
I am praying for you also, Janet and all your family. I discovered your blog when my Mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. I see so many parallels in our families. We are so blessed with the support of family and friends. May God bring you comfort, strength and healing. Sincerely, Sharon from Massachusetts
