Heavenly Father, we come together before You on behalf of our sister to lift her up in prayer, knowing that You are a healer and thanking You in advance for what You will do...please touch and heal her mind and body in the mighty matchless Name of Jesus...what You can do...no other power can do...may the peace of God which passes all under-standing guard her heart and mind through Christ Jesus...You are our peace and we worship You...there's healing in the Name of JESUS... there's healing in the precious shed blood of Jesus and we plead the blood of Jesus over our sister from the top of her head down through to the soles of her feet...Lord, please encamp angels round about our sister to guard and protect her because she fears Your Name...by Your stripes she is healed and please grant her perfect peace...we thank You and have the faith to believe that it's done...

Dear Tami,

Thanks for the update. Glad your home and pray your daughter will soon be over the flu. Thankful to our heavenly Father that your ulcer condition was diagnosed and is now in the process of being treated. That was an unexpected curve-ball!

I join with Folvier's beautiful prayer above that is such a good way to open this Part Two of your thread. Tami, we are all still praying for your complete healing, and only for surgery if all else fails. The healing that will soon take place for the ulcer is a step in the direction of healing. You have suffered enough for a while, in my opinion.

Let's remember, dearest Tami, that we need not fear anything for He is with us and greater is He that is in us than he that
is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10)

"And the peace of God, which passeth understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:7)

Please dear Father in heaven reach down and heal Tami now and let her be free of the pain and suffering she is in. We thank You for hearing and honoring our prayers in Jesus' name.

With love,

Robert B

I love all you my friends. How you all brighten my day so very much I just can't even begin to say! My daughter is feeling much better and we have been enjoying a lot of time of together watching movies and catching up on our favorite shows. Today we were cleaning her room and organizing it. Felt wonderful to do something so simple together.

My pain and nausea from the ulcers is gone today. Thank God for that! No pancreas pain until I tried a low fat potato chip... almost within seconds I had light pain. I guess that is a no no for me. I hope to stay well as we have a family reunion out of town this weekend and I don't want to miss spending the time with my family.

I'm really trying to stay focussed and not thinking of much else other than healing my body. Right now making supper and listening to some inspirational podcasts. How I missed listening to them when I was gone. I know I'm going to be healed whether it be before surgery or during surgery but I can feel it. God is so very good and wonderful and I can't wait to live my life out fully without pain or worry.

Tami :)

Dear Tami,

I'm so happy for you that you're feeling better, along with your daughter. Since you've been home, you seem much more uplifted and it's so wonderful that you're able to fix dinner and help your daughter clean her room and watch movies together. That's great!

I also like your postive spirit that you are going to be healed. I love it!

Thank you for the update, dear sister. Stay away from those low-fat chips!

Continuing to pray for your total and complete healing.

Dear Tami,

It was so good to hear of your healing from the ulcer pain and how you are now able to do everyday ordinary things with your kids and prepare meals and listen to music. Thank God, Tami, He is truly wonderful and loving towards us all.

Please continue keeping us updated on your progress. We will keep you in our prayers for as long as it takes. As Lisaleenie once said on this thread, I'm in it for the long haul.

Until we hear again, God bles you and keep you well and in His supportive arms. We love you.

With love,

Robert

Dear Lisaleenie,

After reading your last message posted just three minutes after my effort to bring this thread up to the current moment, BTTT I think means bump to the top, I felt moved to write a few words to you to remind you that we all appreciate your work here and enjoy knowing you as we do.

At my last place of work, the manager was interested in building the organization's cohesiveness and team spirit. He instituted a special agenda item at the end of each week's meeting to review progress on projects. That agenda item was called Acknowledgements.

Each person volunteered to provide a few words of appreciation and acknowledgement for work done well, or speedily or beyond expectations by another member of the group. It was a simple thing to do and provided an opportunity to express in a few words how we felt about our co-workers. It was usually positive and uplifting--I never witnessed anything negative.

As a kind of example of how acknowledgements can be used, I will try in this message to do one for Lisaleenie. I would be very gratified if this message were to give others some related ideas on how saying a few kind words, sincerely and from the heart, can be useful to everyone.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Lisaleenie, you are an angel! Your prayers and words of support and encouragement to Tami throughout her long process of finding healing has been an inspiration to me and I am sure to others.

If I were in the sort of pain that we have witnessed here from the messages from our dear friend Tami, I would be so very blessed, as she indeed has been and continues to be, to have you as a dedicated, loyal, loving and praying friend of God interceding. You are such a dear and wonderful person!

I can only speak for myself when I say I love you so much for your tender, caring and compassionate heart as you have written over these weeks to help Tami.

With love and hugs,your friend in Christ,

Robert

Oh, Robert, I just saw your post and your kind words to me right now because after I posted my last message to Tami my computer crashed, and I decided just to go back to sleep!

I just want to say how much your words meant to me. Thank you so much! You make me feel very loved and special, and I can't tell you how much I need that right now in my life. Tears are in my eyes right now.

I love you too, dear brother. Your compassion and love for the Lord and for others just shines through your posts. It has touched my heart how you have reached out to Tami and have been right there supporting her all along yourself.

Much love and hugs to you, Robert!

Enjoy that reunion. Be single focused on that alone today. Push all other thoughts away. Concentrate on a diet that you can handle and from there just enjoy the family and the day. A little R&R is good for the soul.

I'm so glad the ulcer healing is being realized. Praise God!

Dear Robert, yes I could feel the love, honesty, and sincerity of your words. That's why it touched my heart so much. Thank you again, dear brother!

Dear Tami, please do not focus on the surgery. You will scare yourself if you do that. We are the most influenced by what we focus on, so place your focus on the Lord, and His healing power. That is how you're going to get through this, dear sister.

I pray so much that you enjoy your family reunion. I don't have my earthly family left, so I know how precious they are. You are blessed and loved by many, especialy the Lord. I will pray that you will be pain free, nausea free, and mostly free of the fear that you are experiencing. I want to see you have a great time today, Tami. I am going to pray for that, also. May the Lord's peace rest upon you, sis.

Love and hugs to you!

Dear Tami,

I just finished praying for you again this morning. How are you doing, dear sister? We haven't heard from you for awhile.

Please let us know how it's going with you.

Much love to you!

Thank you for the update, Tami. One of my prayers was that you would feel good during the family reunion. Don't be discouraged. A six hour drive is a long time, and you probably did a lot during the reunion, so I'm not surprized that you're not feeling great. You rest now. I will continue to pray for you. You'll feel better after you rest up.

Please try your best to focus on the Lord and His healing power instead of the surgery and the recovery afterwards. It's been my experience that if I look too far ahead instead of concentrating on just one day at a time, I get anxiety myself. Like I said before, we are the most influenced by what we focus on, so if you focus on the Lord, I believe your anxiety will dissipate quite a bit.

Love and **HUGS**

Hi Tami,

I'll be praying for you tonight. I wanted to encourage you to hang on to hope because Jesus may return very soon. He may come for us before your surgery!

Also, I wanted to remind you that you don't have to do anything to obtain God's favor or healing, Just believe that He can heal you, He can get you through and He has forgiven you by the blood of His son. It is all up to Him. I know that it is human nature for us to try to figure out what we might do or say or think differently so that we may secure God's blessings. We all do this from time to time. There are even books written by folks who have no understanding, that would instruct us on how to "release" God's power in your life, etc, etc, etc.

How about we just trust God to take care of you? We will keep praying for you. And you just focus on letting go of everything that you just have no control over. You can trust these things to God. Pray that he will remove worry from your mind and replace it with peace. I will be asking him for this for you. And pain relief and healing.

Tami, may God bless you and your family greatly. My heart goes out to you. I am still trusting God for your healing!

LisaDawn

Biker Blue, I just had a "thunk". You can make your own chips from sweet potatoes that are very yummy. Just slice them thinly and roast in the oven until they are dried out, then sprinkle with a little salt (I brush them with a little olive oil too, but that might not work for you). You can do this with beets too.

For an extreemly uplifting post, be sure to read todays "My 8 year old son's vision". Praying for your full return to health.

Shalom

Dear Tami,

I prayed for you sing the words written above by Lisaleenie. Thank you Lisa for giving us all such wonderful words to pray. I would only add a few words of thanksgiving at the end for His hearing and caring about us and for te greatest gift He offers to us, His love.

Dear heavenly Father, accept our prayers for dear Tami and know that we appreciate Your love and compassion. We know that pain and suffering have always been part of human life and that they can often serve as tools to purify us and make us draw nigh to Thee. You do chasten those You love at times and we do expect You to provide guidance, especially when we are wandering into the ways of the world and its evil rulers. Help us in those times to endure and benefit from it all.

Give us the strength to stand strongly for You and to seek only to do Your will. Forgive us for our ignorance and forgetting sometimes at te lateness of the hour we are now living, at the very end of Your incredibly loving and merciful age of Grace. Help us to see You in everyone and everything we see in this world, regardless of the present conditions that surround these people and things that You and You alone have created for Your pleasure and our enjoyment, too.

Please help Tami to be free of any more pain and suffering, for truly she has had enough for anyone to endure. Please have mercy on her and heal as only You can and did so wonderfully through Your Son, Jesus, in His time with us in Galilee and elsewhere. We love You and want to love You more every day that remains. Thank You again, dear Father. We pray in the name of Jesus.

Amen

With love,

Robert

Dear Tami,

How are you, dear sister? We haven't heard from you since you said that you were feeling so poorly three days ago.

Dear Father, I continue to pray for Tami. I ask that You completely heal her pancreas. I ask that You remove her pain, her nausea, and give her the energy to do the things she would love to do. I ask that You take away her anxiety and fear, and that You will give her Your perfect peace. I ask that Your give her doctors wisdom as to her treatment. I pray that You bless her, and take care of her, Lord. I ask that You give strength and comfort to her children and her family as they are going through this with her. I ask all of this in Jesus Name. Amen.

Tami, please let us know how you're doing.

Love and hugs, dear sister!

Still thinking about you, Tami. Still praying. Still care. I hope that you are getting your rest and that you are painfree. I pray that you are on the mend and that you are hopeful and not discouraged. This will certainly end in your favor, remember that if you can. We will all be celebrating together and I look forward to meeting you when we get there.

It will be so beautiful there in heaven with Jesus! Oh I hope that He comes for us very soon!

Hi everyone! I apologize for not posting for a while. Feeling rough and I guess you could say needed some time to myself. It was a very big week for me. I talked to my doctor on Friday and went over my results and will be scheduled for surgery soon. I'm excited, nervous, scared all at once. It's such a big life changing surgery and will take some time to heal but having God on my side I know it will go well. I know He lead me to Arizona, to all of you. Thus still scary. I told the doctor I want to do the surgery ASAP as I have been having a lot of anxiety and just want to get it over with. I'm praying that I will hear this week when the surgery will be.

I feel confident in my decision to have the surgery as I'm not leading the life God wants me to be living at this point. I know will be a tough recovery but God will take care of me. Knowing that my parents, husband and kids will be coming down to stay with me off and on the time I am there will get me through it. Without having them there it would be tough and Id be so homesick so it will make it much easier on me.

I will try and post more. Bless you all for your continued prayers! I love you all and am so thankful for all of you. I need to rest tonight and hoping tomorrow will feel better!!

God bless!

Tami

Dear Tami, I'm so glad to hear from you. You sound a lot stronger and more positive. Looks like you needed this time for yourself, and it seemed to help you.

I'm glad to hear that your family are going to be there with you and that you're not going through this alone. Praise God for your family who loves and supports you.

You're going to be just fine. Just keep your focus on Jesus and His healing power.

Our love and prayers are with you. Keep us posted when you can. We'll be with you throughout this trial that you're going through. You're not alone.

Tami,
I felt an urge to send you this link to info on DMG which I am using and think it can help you too. Humor me and have a peek. If you want to try the tablets, see the link on that page for FoodScience of Vermont the best source.
http://www.dmgdoctor.com/dmg.php

@Lisaleenie

BTW what is Lisaleenie? Why not just Lisa?

In answer to your question, yes I am taking the DMG tablets and there are absolutely no side effects, since in reality they are simply providing chemicals that the body manufactures every day--only less as aging takes its toll. I have tried the swallow tablets and the chewable tablets. The chewable taste like Vitamin C tablets.

I have noticed a marked improvement in my energy level and ability to focus for a prolonged time. Since I am being treated for hypertension, they help with that condition as well. The long-term benefits for warding off Alzheimer's dementia (which my wife succumbed to in 2010) and cancer make these tablets an incredible insurance policy for health.

We need to do whatever we can to help our physical bodies stay in good repair. The cost of these completely safe tablets is a small price to pay for peace of mind, or as much as we can get from science.

With love,

Robert

@Lisa,

In the book Building Wellness With DMG the author strongly urges the reader to use only the original formulation that he knows about personally, available from FoodScience of Vermont.

The above link has a menu and the DMG Family of Products has those original products.

Your loving friend,

Robert

@Lisa,

Here is a link with some interesting user comments on the DMG product.

Hi everyone. I'm hanging in. Still struggling with some pain and feeling crappy today. Didn't sleep much last night and haven't been much the last few nights. Just not feeling the best. Still no date for surgery yet. I've emailed a few times with no answer... I just want to get it over with. Tonight I'm stressing out. I keep requestioning things. The waiting is hard.

Thank you for the link Robert. I did check it out and it looks really interesting to say the least. I just may have to purchase some. I hope they are working well for you!!!!

I did call a gal last night who had the surgery in Arizona four months ago. It gave me more anxiety than anything the struggle she is still going through. I'm very scared. I'm scared of the surgery, the recovery, being away from home and family. I just feel like I'm stuck right now and not happy about feeling this way. Maybe I just need a good night of sleep I dont know.

I pray all of you are doing well. I think of you all the time... I'm just so stressed right now. Please God help me through this. Take away my fear and bring me a peace that I know I am doing the right thing and that it will be okay.

God bless you all!

Tami

Tammy , God bless you today in His Grace .
Love to you . The Lord Your Healer is working on your behalf !
THANK YOU LORD for your best for Tammy .
amen , bb, in Christ

Tami,
