Tuesday, July 29 - Please Pray.

We've been rather discouraged the last few days with the way Steve's feeling. He's not able to eat, and getting very weak. It's been made clear to us that we need to be more aggressive with our treatments. The detox and other things aren't going to work quickly enough for this fast-moving type of cancer.

We asked this morning for discernment, and we've now made an appointment with an alternative clinic in Houston. We have to get all our medical records today, and we can begin treatments on Monday in Houston. Looks like we'll be there for about two weeks.

Please pray that the details of gathering all these records will be smooth and fast. Please pray for Steve's comfort between now and Monday. And, that the Lord will use this treatment to miraculously heal Steve. I feel very hopeful. Steve said he feels too bad right now to feel hopeful.

"Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer." Psalm 4:1

Dear Steve & Sheri,
As I read your blog today these lyrics came to my mind:

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know you are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

Steve & Sheri
I pray that His perfect love will cast out fear and that you will know His perfect peace. That you will know He is there with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. I Pray that you will feel His presence and His hold on you fully convinced He will never let go. That you will be confident there is an end to these troubles as you cling to Him and that you will have a glimpse of that glorious Light that is your Hope. I ask that even in your pain your heart will still praise Him for He knows how much you love Him and is interceding for you.

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22

Hello this Tuesday Sheri and Steve :+)

Please consider staying with me and Jay during your stay in Houston for Steve's treatment. We're located close to the clinic and you would not have to spend money on a hotel!

God is able to do what we can not do, to hope, to love, to heal, to see the future. Continue to lean on him, you're in good hands.

My prayers go out to Steve to find peace and comfort with medications and rest.

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

Bless the Lord, O my soul
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your dieases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Psalm 103:2-4

We sure love ya'll.

Sheri and Steve,
I am consumed with what you are going through I know this is still disbelief to you both. In a blink of an eye your life has changed, goals and plans are on hold it is for today that you live, today you share your undying never ending love for each other. I am pulled to Matthew 11 28-30 Jesus said,"Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you .Let me teach you because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light." May you both have rest in HIS arms tonight
I love you both and have you in my prayers and thoughts. I will see you Friday please let me know if I can bring anything or if you need to run out I can stay with Steve.. He can have his very own nurse practitioner @ bedside...

Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. Therefore I refuse to allow sickness to dominate my body. The Life of God flows within me bringing healing to every fiber of my being. Matthew 8:17; John 6:63

My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I make a demand on my body to release the right chemicals. My body is in perfect chemical balance. My pancreas secretes the proper amount of insulin for life and health. 1 Corinthians 6:19

Growths and tumors have no right to my body. They are a thing of the past for I am delivered from the authority of darkness. Colossians 1:13,14

Every organ and tissue of my body functions in the perfection that God created it to function. I forbid any malfunction in my body in Jesus' Name. Genesis 1:28,31

Dear Warren Family,

You don't know me and I don't know you. My sister Katelynn sent me a link to this e-mail and your situation has touched my heart (big tears in Canada right now). I am also a believer and my prayer for each of you is threefold: 1) that you can be miraculously healed, giving God glory; 2) that you will continue to be strong and on your knees, giving God glory, and 3) that in this horrible experience, you will continue to be a witness to both unbelievers and those "on the fence," giving God glory.

Your Sister in Christ,
