He's always been faithful

I am coming before you all for a specific prayer request. My grandfather (my mom's dad) has been in the hospital for about a day or so. He's having abdominal pain, as well as other complications to his type 2 diabetes, and the docs aren't quite sure what the problem is. First, we were told it's possibly cancer, then we're told it might be cysts developing from his new diabetes medicine. We still (or at least I) don't know the full diagnosis, yet, but we're praying (obviously) that it isn't cancer. I know that God has all of us in His hands and if He chooses for us to battle a family member dealing with cancer again, then we will. For the sake of our hearts and my grandfather's body, I pray that we don't have to face that again.

Many of you know that my uncle Bob passed away this past November from a long battle with brain cancer. He was one of the greatest men that I know who displayed true love and compassion every day. Just within the last couple of weeks, I found a note he wrote me when I graduatated highschool and it was so encouraging. He always knew how to lift me up. I pray that I impact my world as much as he impacted his. For all who knew Bob Kring would agree that he had a HUGE impact on so many peoples lives. I love him dearly and I look forward to the day when I get to see him again in Heaven praising Jesus.

So needless to say, this is why we're praying it's not cancer for my grandfather. God has always been faithful to me, through thick and thin, and I know He'll stick with me now.

Check out this video on youtube. It is one of my favorite songs and whomever made this presentation did a good job.
