This is a very very hard post to write. But I believe in the power of prayer! We NEED, WANT and COVET your prayers. Tonight my precious son, Shawn (37)called to say he has testecular cancer that needs immediate attention. Via testing his whole body then directly into surgery on February 15th. I am scared and I need Gods' peace about this whole thing. I must be strong for him and his beautiful family. Please please put Shawn on your prayer list. (My brother is dieing of the same cancer and my father passed away from prostrate cancer a few years ago so the concern is unimaginable.)
Second: I have a daughter that has slowly been starving to death. She has NO auto immune system left. She is not doing this on purpose and it is not anorexia. It has attacked her lower and upper colon. She was wearing size 24 and is down to a size 4-6 now. It is robbing her of the ability to fight all infections plus making her weak and extremely tired.
See that sweet little girl on the far right well she turned 15 in Nov and has run away twice and found, plus she failed most all of her freshman grades. Her name is Katiebug, (to her Nana), and she needs our prayers too. So as you can see my heart is breaking for all of my babies. Please please please pray for us. There is just so much one can bare without the Lords' help.
Here is Melissa after loosing 178 pounds.
I was going to post something wonderful about the One World One Heart giveaway. I HONESTLY wanted to But my heart is just too heavy right now. (I HAVE FELT YOUR PRAYERS, GOOD WISHES, AND COMPASSION WHICH HUMBLES MY SOUL. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO KIND AND LEAVING SUCH SWEET COMMENTS. MY SON WILL HAVE SURGERY FEB 15TH AND I AM SENDING MELISSA UP TO BE WITH HIM IN MY PLACE. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO LISA FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO CARE ABOUT US!!!)
So this is what I will be sending to you if you are drawn through the random number system. It is a lovely piece made of pearls and Swarvoski crystals. Just leave a note and I will get it out as soon as the drawing is over.
Thank you from: Sharon, Shawn, Melissa, Katiebug and my wonderful daughter in love, Tammy and Ethyn! I love you ALL so very much,
Mom, Nana and Friend

I will light a candle for you Sharon and your loved ones. There is a difficult path ahead of you, I wish with all my heart that you all come out of this stronger, better and wiser. Love, Adrienne from Hungary.
Dear Saron,
i will definitely be praying for you and your family. Nothing is as painfull as watching our children go through such trying times. A sword pierces our own heart as well!
Big hugs, Gerri
OH Sharon... I'll be praying for your Son, your Daughter and your sweet Katiebug! First thing I want to do is give you a {{{{GINORMOUS HUG}}}}! Now, I'll get back to praying! I can hear the pain that your heart is feeling! I pray that GOD surrounds you with his love, heals those who are in need of healing and brings Katiebug back to her Nana! Love to you my friend! Keep in touch! I'll be praying!
OMG, Sharon what sad news!!! In our family are also many people who have a cancer....I feel with you!!!! God bless you and your family!!!!
Hug and kind regards
Eveline
oh sweetie, I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. I will be putting all of your family in my prayers. Any one of those aweful things would be the worst to bear all by themselves but I can't imagine them all at once. Praying for some miracles for you guys, you definitely deserve more than one. Keep hope in your heart, big hugs!
Oh Sharon.. I am heart broken for you and your family... I will keep you all in my prayers. Mircles do happen...
One World One Heart it's about all the good and joyous things. This is true. But it also can be about all the sad and grievous that may be in our hearts aswell. So if we can leave posts to help lift your spirits I think that is the least we can do. We look forward to the promise in the scriptures and we are assured that it is impossible for God to lie when he says in Rev 21:4&5:
4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”
Until he does we can support one another with our words of comfort and prayers. I hope you can sense mine are being said in your behalf.
I will be keeping Shawn, Melissa and you all in my prayers. As unfathomably hard as this must be I am confident that the Lord has a plan for you and them that is perfect even when I cannot hope to comprehend what it is.
*Hugs*
~Kate
You & your family will be in my thoughts. Sending love & good thoughts your way.

My heart is reaching out to you, I wish you peace.
I'm sorry for your pain, but praise the Lord for your faith to reach out to strangers for prayer. I've prayed and want to tell you that my dad had this cancer when he was 34. Two years later he fathered my twin brothers. Dad is now a hearty 85! Don't despair. God has his arms around your whole family!
I have you close to my heart and in my prayers...know that God is still in control and have faith..I know at times this is hard, but try. I know your heart is burdened...but place those burdens at Jesus' feet and let Him carry them...He will bring you through this....I will keep your entire family in my prayers....Hugs to you...and your precious family.
Sharon,
I'll be praying for you and your family.

Sharon, my thoughts are with you and your family!
Dearest Sharon, My heart is so heavy for you. I have not dealt with any cancer in my life, but i have the issues with the kids like the 15 yo , only worse than just the failing and running away... none of my kids are speaking to each other on and off and only one of them is speaking with hubby and I...too much to go into, and you do not need to hear all the dirty details. Just know I am soooo right there with you!
I am no longer Christian, But I certainly will pray and keep a candle lit for your family as well as direct healing, positive, and peaceful energy your way!! Funny thing...I am still down below 100 on the list but I decided to go to the end and start picking out blogs that seemed to call out to me, and here you are!(another piece of Fate)
much love and gentle hugs,
Susan

Sharon. I am so sorry.
Okay, yes, I know this is easier read than done, but it's one of my favorites, and such a blessing:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Dear Sharon, I knew God had led me to participate in the One World One Heart blog hop for a reason. All of my blogging is Spirit-led and I rarely participate in such big blog parties unless He leads. I am not here for the giveaways or even to gain traffic on my page. He leads I follow.
My dear friend suggested I visit your page because she knows that prayer is one of my passions and callings. To top it off, God has given me a profound compassion for the heart of a mother and I pray He sends me moms who needs prayers for their sweet babies of all ages.
I am the mother of a 21 y/o son and a 17 y/o daughter. When I tell you I am praying, I am praying. Please do not hesitate to stay in touch. I am praying for your sweet babies. My heart grieves for you because of He who lives in me. I don't even know you but He does. He sees each and every tear and knows you are tired and burdened. Do not look to tomorrow for today has enough burden. He will carry your tomorrows.
Feel free to visit any time and you may also email privately at homeiswhereoneheartis@yahoo.com .
God is in your midst. He has gone ahead of you. He loves your children more than you love them. Think about that and let it sink deep in your heart.
Love and blessings. Praying.
My heart gos out to you, I know the feeling of getting hit with news like that...I believe in the High Holy Healers and will send them on to you...my gift to you!
Lisa,

the trials that you are going

As a mother who lost her beloved young son to brain cancer I really feel for you and your family. Your son Shawn will be in my prayers! I also have a daughter who has put on so much weight that I worry about her too. She has started exercising to lose it and has lost 10 kilo so far and thankfully seems to be not dieting just changing her eating habits. May the Lord walk beside you during this hard time. hugs

The power of prayer is incredible, I know that, and in my thoughts I will try to surround you with love and warmth.Don't give up hope!!!
Sometimes life is just simply too much! I am so very sorry you are going through this. These are the times when we know that we know, that God carries us because we simply could not have done it otherwise. I pray that your family will know physical healing as well as emotional. And that you will know the healing and strengthening power of the presence of Yahweh.

When I was down because of family situations, my father said to me, "Honey, you know, no matter how bad you have it-there is always someone out there who suffers more. My reply was-"Dad, it was me they were talking about when they wrote that helpful quote." I understand only too well what you are going through. My oldest daughter has cancer, one of my son's is a scziphrenic and one of my granddaughters went through the same thing as yours. (and there is much more) I have been and always will be "Nina" to them and I'll always be there for them. I know by your writing that you are a very strong woman. You will make it!
I'd be honored to receive anything you make or give, especially at this time when your heart is full.
Love
Cheryl-Healing Woman

Sharon, thse are such hard times right now even under normal circumstances. So I will deffinetely be praying for you. My ucle had prostate cancer and he survived. It was frightenig for him though as his dad died from it too. He's clar now though, for now anyways. We are all grateful. I also had severe depression from age 11 to 41 I was suicidal and I'm not anymore. God does answer prayers but sometimes not fast enough in our opinoins. Why He allows soe to suffer and others to even die is incomprehenseable to us in this form.
Is your daughter sick from her own doing or is she habing a rare illness? I like to pray specifically. So am I praying she be cured of anerexia or does she have an auto immune issue that's making her so thin? That wasn' clear to me. I will pray either way she gets healed and stops running away. I pray that she begins to pray and if she's already praying that she pray harder and that her prayers if they are Gods' will for her life are heard. Because of what I have been through I am a better person but it was oh so hard to get through. I am far from perfect or eve normal but I am so much better. God does answer prayers. I pray for your peace of mind Sharon, that you know God is hearing you and watching over you and your family. let the whole world pray...AMEN. Love, Sanna
My thoughts go out to you and your family, and hope the clouds over you part soon.
http://MistyMoonCreations.blogspot.com
Words seem to be such empty comfort when one faces the incredible challenges such as the ones you and your family are going through right now, Sharon. I pray that the Lord will give you all strength to face the days ahead with courage, and that He will grant healing both physically and spiritually.
May God bless you all,
Dawn
You are "amazing" and I will add you to my prayer list...
May the Lord send his angels down to protect all of your family and may they provide You with peace and understanding during these most difficult times (amen) remember you are always in God's care, just call on him constantly.. I do :)
You can email me anytime for further prayers, and I will continue to be there for you. (please-)

You've got my prayers; my husband is going through treatments for cancer now and it's hard enough with only one health problem. God bless you and your family; may He give you strength and healing.
A very difficult time. Please know that my thoughts are with you.
my heart goes out to you and yours. this is what it is really all about. connecting, love, living, finding kindred souls across the miles. that is what OWOH is able to do. to be able to write so honestly about how you are feeling right now and to reach out to strangers in your time of need takes courage and hope. never let go of the hope. it will carry you through. i will have you and yours in my thoughts.
Dear Sharon,
I am praying for you and your family.
You are going through such heart wrencing times and I will pray that God will be with you and comfort you and your family.
God is the worker of miracles.
I will pray that Miracles will surround all of you and embrace you with his everlasting love and peace.
Love and Hugs,

I can only imagine your pain (as a mother and grandmother). Sending a big hug and you are already on the prayer list of one of the most faithful prayer warriors I know. I'm going to follow your blog to see how things go after the surgery.

Light and Love for you and your family! It must be very hard for you also to go through all this....
My father is just cured from prostate cancer, he was lucky and I was lucky too....
The crafts you make are so light and a pleasure, I hope you keep on doing this, especially when the time is not so nice for you.
Again..I wish you lot of light and love.

Best wishes for you and your family. I know this is a hard time but it seems that you have lots and lots of prayers and good wishes flying towards you from all over the world - mine are joining in as well - and I hope they will help in some small way.
Love your 'bling' as well! Very pretty jewellery.
I'm so sorry! I'm praying God's peace for you and yours. I believe nothing is impossible, and that God can and will use all suffering for good. Be encouraged today- you have many on your side, agreeing with you for restoration and hope!

My prayers are joining the others from all over the world. With an event like this, coving the world and all time zones, whenever you need it, there is someone there, holding you and your family before the throne of our loving Father.
Praying for peace, for grace, for healing, but most of all for the arms of the Everlasting God to surround you all and uphold you.
Very glad this OWOH event has enabled us all to be here to join in prayer for you all.
Sounds lovely, count me in :)
My preyers some to you, Sharon, from Canada. Miracles are possible, and with all the love coming your way, I know one will happen for your and your family.

Dear Sharon,
I'm sorry to hear you are worrying so much, and will be praying for you and your family. May God's will happen and may you find courage and strength to accept it and see the best in what is happening.
I know it's not easy to accept that sometimes God's will IS that people are sick and tired, and die, sometimes too soon in our minds. My father is dying slowly of prostate cancer, that has spread into his skeleton, so it's very painful for him. I wish I could take away his pain. I will be very sad the day we finally loose him, but also glad because he won't be in pain anymore.
I have FM, which causes me to suffer pain like having needles stuck in the joints of my hands and feet. There are days I don't walk, and days I don't craft. Nevertheless I believe this too is the best and God's will, and I hope I learn what I am supposed to learn from this. Perhaps it's humility and kindness towards the rest of the world, perhaps I need to learn to count on others, as I have been self-sufficient. Only God knows what I need to learn, and what you need to learn, and guessing will only cause resentment and anger, because we usually guess wrong.
Remember Psalm 46. Fear not, Sharon. Try not think about the day that comes when someone you love is no longer with you, but live this day, when they still are around, and make it the best day of your lives. I hope you will find hope and manage to rewrite this blog entry again, and focus on the good things in your life. Count your blessings, because they are many (one of them being the ability to create beautiful things), and be comforted. Light a candle, don't curse the darkness. Having a personal experience on suffering gives you a wonderful opportunity to have compassion towards the rest of the suffering world.
May God and angels walk with you and turn your face into light.
I hope I haven't offended or hurt you with my words, and I hope you can forgive me if I have, believing that I say what I say with all the best intentions and in all sympathy. If I have said something that causes you pain, delete this comment.
Hugs,
Ket
How painful and challenging for you. Love and hugs.

Sharon- it sounds like a deep valley that you are in right now but God is faithful and loves you. He will be by your side during this time of struggle- depend on Him! I will add your precious family to my prayers and may His peace surround you. N
Dear Sharon, I wish all the best for your family. Your love must be the best gift you can give them and it sounds you do that the best way possible. They are lucky to have you.
Greetings from western North Carolina.
You have an awesome blog and giveaway. I am having such fun checking out all of the OWOH participant's blogs.
I will say many prayers for you but especially tomorrow which is Sunday. I will say mass tomorrow for your family. I am so sorry you and your family are going through all this.
God Bless,
SHannon

i am so sorry to hear of your trials. Sometimes it seems life throws more at us then we think we can bear. But I believe that nothing is impossible with the Lord on our side. You and your loved ones are in my prayers. Please know that He is watching over you and that even though we do not always understand why we must go through these things, He does, and will turn everything to our good if we just trust Him. Much love, Connie (stampgram AT yahoo DOT com }

My heart goes out to the trials that you are going through. If you haven't visited my blog, please do so. Even though I've only promised to make 100 Bottles of Hope if you are more than the 100th visitor I will make one on behalf of your son.
Your post brought tears to my eyes. There is only so much a person can bear on their own. With family and friends (even internet ones) the weight is so much more bearable. Please lean on those you love and all your friends. They will get you through, no matter what God's decisions are.
You are in my prayers.

Hi dear I hope you read this and maybe it helps. There is a book called the Maker's Diet. It is primarily for overall health but is really to help CURE diseases. The doc who wrote it had incurable Crohns disease and was able to cure himself. Also he cured his grandmother who had 6mo or less to live from cancer and it's been over three years. His name is Rubin Jordan and you should be able to locate it easily. I've prayed for your family and hope you find this post quickly. Let me know when you can. www.beckoningoflife.blogspot.com Leslie
My prayers go out to you and your family. May God embrace you and protect your son and daughter.

Hi from chilly England! Thanks for letting me take a peek into your world I will pray for God's peace to be with you and your family, nothing it too much for God. Your work is absolutely beautiful, please count me in and if you get a chance pop by my blog #404 a warm welcome awaits. Take care xx
i am a mother too so my heart aches for you. i have written your prayer requests down and you can be assured of my prayers. i wonder if you have considered alternative treatments and healing verses for your children. my mom was diagnosed with cancer in her tongue more than a year ago and since traditional medicine had little to offer (she would be disfigured and have very poor quality of life), we opted to go the alternative way plus she recites healing verses from the bible on schedule, just like medicine. she is doing very well and living a normal life. i pray that your trial will turn into a testimony of God's goodness!
Oh my, I will definitely pray for all your family. I am so sorry that so much has been laid on your shoulders all at once. Keep hope and faith in your heart - God does work miracles - my DH has recovered from melanoma, prostate and bladder cancer and I am also a melanoma survivor. God does work in mysterious ways and sometimes they are meant to strengthen our faith or be faithful witnesses to others. I certainly pray that God will grant you and your family tender mercies and miraculous healing. Stay in His word and He will guide you.

Sending prayers your way. It is wonderful for your generosity here. And all these new friends praying and sending good thoughts to your family. I think that is so important.
I just want to send all good things your way. Thank you for sharing and wishing you the very best answers to your prayers.
I am VERY far behind on following up on blogs as well as updating my own blog and I didn't realize that you posted this. I've taken care of you baby and everything is SO much better now!! He healed from surgery just in time for the warmer weather so he can now work on his Spitfire and get that up and running. Sending lots of love from Iowa!
Love you mom!
