UPDATE on Roman:  My heart is so full of praise for our mighty and all-knowing God! Just a few days ago I was so fearful for my son’s health (see prayer request below).

Thank You Jesus for your mercy and great love! And thank you prayer warriors!

Please pray for Cindy. She has been fighting cancer and is now at Hopkins prepping for a bone marrow transplant. Also pray for Karen. She just finished chemo for lung cancer, had foot surgery, and will need gallbladder surgery. Lastly, I ask for prayers for myself. Since 2018, I have had three spinal surgeries. The last one has left me with numbness in my legs and they give out so I have to use a walker. I’m caring for my adult autistic son along with my husband and he struggles with anxiety. I have to go to yet another specialist to find out what is wrong with my hip. It's been 40 years since my accident and 18 related surgeries. I lost my best friend in December. I’m tired and  would love a little life between the surgeries and pain.
