SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 3 LUNG CANCER YESTERDAY AND WILL BE UNDOING RADIATION AND CHEMO THERAPY IN THE COMING MONTHS. MY MOTHER HAS HER DEMONS AND HER ADDICTIONS, SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A TELLING TIME IN HER LIFE. WE PRAY AND HOPE SHE CHOOSES LIFE OVER SMOKING AND CAN BE FIRM AND SINCERE IN HER RESOLUTION. SHE HAS BEEN SMOKING FOR OVER 45 YEARS AND HAS YET TO STOP. SHE ALSO HAS BEEN BATTLING SCHIZOPHRENIA FOR MANY YEARS, SO DEALING WITH HER AT TIMES CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING. MY WIFE AND I WILL PRAY FOR HER FREEDOM DAILY, AS WELL AS GODS WILL TO COME FORTH, REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME. WE WANT NOT ONLY WHATS BEST FOR MY MOTHERS HEALTH, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY HER SOUL. PLEASE CONTINUE KEEPING HER IN YOUR PRAYERS, AS IT'S DEFINITELY WORKING, BUT WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED IN THE BATTLE. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOUR FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. PLEASE HELP US CARRY THIS CROSS.
