Johnathan M. - Health

Well I’ve been debating this. But wanted to be raw with everyone. 

First of all I finally made it out of hospital today. 

They don’t have a liver doctor and said they done all they can do.

They did the drain as I mentioned… but they found Bacteria in the fluid which caused me to be on the brink of being septic.

I felt like I was poisoned… on top of all the other stuff I was going through I felt and still kinda feel just blah. 

So it was such a blessing and such a relief once the drain happened… but I still am fighting the bacteria In my body as we speak.

I didn’t want to offend anyone but that is why I kinda distanced myself and wouldn’t allow visitors… I was very I’ll and had a hard time even smiling. 

I still am as well.

But if I’ve offended anyone please don’t be. I love you guys .

With that said… 

Everyone knows I’ve been on a weight loss journey. 

I started in April and weighed in at 333lbs.

Two weeks ago I was at 262lbs and as of today I’m 233. Lost 29 lbs in two weeks 😬 

I couldn’t eat drink or hardly had energy… it’s been a rough ride.

Good news is I lost allot of weight quickly.

Bad news is… it malnourished me 😂😂😂

Also they found more blood clots in my spleen and changed my status to Decompensated liver failure.

“I Already know what some of you all are thinking… trust me… I’m just being raw here and sharing what has been told to us by doctors … God Trumps Doctors…

I’m still rough guys but I’ve kept the faith and my inner man is ready to get back after it!

But this will be a slow journey back to health.

Cool part is my amazing Christian Doctor at Mercy himself said… get plugged into Barnes and Washington University ASAP 

So… that’s our goal.

To keep moving forward… keep the faith and to fight to get the health care and insurance I need to get back on track!

Please hear me… I believe in healing… and if you don’t think I want to be healed your smoking the good stuff… 😳 but at this moment we are doing everything we can spiritually and physically. 

I have peace and I do believe I will be healed.

I also believe he’s using me as a missionary to speak to doctors nurses etc in multiple different cities throughout MIssouri.

I don’t have the answers… and neither did Job or his friends.

Please keep praying… please keep fanning our flames and reminding us of the promises of God.

I love you all more than you’ll ever know.

Job 1:21 And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

Barbara M. - Pray for Israel

I am asking Christians worldwide to pray for Israel.

Sid - Concern for Friend

Please all my praying friends, I have a good friend back in the U.S. who attempted to take his life. He is going through serious emotional issues. I need you to pour out your prayers for him. Thank you!

Steffany's Daughter Update

Thank you for all your prayers and for all your love, my friends. Rain is ok. Hopefully we are closer to a diagnosis so she can manage this.

Darlene's Niece Jenn Update

Update: 

Jenn is almost off the IV drip and her doctor is encouraged at her levels so far today.  

Her cancer is Stage 3, which means it was centrally located with no lateral lymph node cancer.  Likely no metastasis.  

Her next step is to receive radioactive iodine to determine metastasis yes or no. That will be in about 6 weeks, as her body needs to heal. 

Due to her age and what they found in surgery,  she is expected to live a normal life.

Darlene R. - Niece Jenn's Health

Heavenly Father, It is so hard to watch Jenn suffer. It doesn’t seem fair for her to have to endure so much pain. Even though I am powerless, I believe that you are powerful and capable of stepping into this situation and completely altering the outcome. In faith, I am responding to the promises in your word that you listen to our prayers and those prayers can make her well. So, I am bringing my niece before you to ask for your healing touch in her life. Thank you for the forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal healing, but I am asking you to provide healing for her on this side of heaven. Amen.

Roof collapse - 11 dead

A church roof collapsed in northeast Mexico, leaving eight adults and three children dead, officials said. The deceased were all members of the same family who were attending a 1-year-old’s baptism.

Some 300 people had been in the sanctuary for Mass at a Santa Cruz church in Ciudad Madero on Sunday, moments before the roof collapsed, leaving 100 people injured and dozens trapped. By Monday evening, authorities had cleared the site and revealed the number of deceased, saying no other victims were found.

Monica Segura, who was standing near the church when its roof fell Sunday, said the collapse "happened in a matter of seconds" when a "beam fell and immediately the roof fell."

"I was trapped," Segura said. "I had my other (2-year-old) baby in my arms. Someone helped me get the baby out and I was able to get out a window and then we returned to look for my other girl. She was trapped in the rubble." She said her 1-year-old nephew suffered a broken arm.
