God Bless you, your children and Libby! After reading this wonderful love story so much has gone thru my mind. I kept reading your words over and over again to see how I should pray for Libby. In doing so, I would ponder on certain areas of your life. First, the Vietnam era. I praise you for serving in those times and re-enlisting! I remember those days, I had a brother in the Navy and one in the Army. When I graduated I was going to be a Marine. The draft ended before I was 18 and decided to give college a shot. Never to become a Marine.
Then both of you going thru two divorces and then hooking up since 2000. I believe it may have been Gods intention for you two to be together from the get go. I believe divorce is not part of Gods plan. It is a result of not knowing or getting away from Gods word. Now, you are in love with who I believe God intended from the beginning, Libby! Praise be to God for your happiness and Love for Libby!
As I read over how you found out about Libby's cancer and what she and you have been through since June and July, man, how fragile life is! Understand, we are all just a heartbeat from eternity! Nobody wants to go thru what you and Libby has been thru, but I praise God! I praise Him for allowing you to live in a time and country where we have doctors and procedures to extend your time here. Praise God for giving you strength to get this far and hope that all will be all right! Scripture that came to me was Romans 8:26-28. Here's how it reads, vs26) In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27) and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28) And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Friend, I included scripture since you spoke of God and wanting our prayers. In searching how to pray for Libby I had peace, so I prayed that Gods will be for a total recovery from this dreadful disease that has attacked her body. In the above scripture, as a believer, when you pray to God we have the Holy Spirit who will intercedes
on behalf of the saints ("believers")
according to the will of God. You wrote "I am asking for is just one tear with your prayer for my wife because I am certain God is counting on you, just like me." Brother, the tears I shed is for the joy in the work God has all ready done in Libby and you. I believe the second greatest gift God has given us is prayer. We should lift each other up in prayer as their is great power in prayer! James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and
pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a
righteous man can accomplish much. A key to prayer is confession of sin to keep a mans heart righteous to the will of God. Therefore, what you ask God for will be given unto you because it aligns with the will of God. Last, I believe God is not counting on me. He doesn't need JR to get His will done! WE ARE COUNTING ON GOD and for His unfailing love to prevail in all areas of our life! I write in love from my heart not to discourage but to encourage you and Libby in your trials in life! God's Love and God Bless!
JR
