Within the hour, Joanne will be surgery again. There is swelling in her brain. They will remove part of her skull to ease that pressure. Please pray for miracles abounding for our sweet sister.
Also, please continue to post scriptures/prayers on this post and I will be decorating her room with them.
"Here my cry, O God, listen to my prayer: from the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint. Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I, for You have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy." Psalm 61:1-3
"But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head." Psalm 3:3
Much love to Joanne in this hour!!!

There are tons of wonderful verses in Isaiah that come to mind, but this one stands out today..."You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal." Is 26:3-4
Let's see what God will do...
With love from California,

A quote I found that I cling to in times of tension and pain, "Tension is the place where the worst of life and the best of true hope meet to unveil our eyes to God's artistic work of redemption. What a mighty and creatively loving God we serve. He allows us to know great pain, so that we can know the greater pleasure of trading it in for purpose." -- Matt Hammitt of Sanctus Real. Praying for the goodness in God's plan and to witness the greater purpose He has for this stumbling block in Joanne's life. Please wake up sweet friend, we need you!! Amy Ensign
