PRAYERS FOR OUR FRIEND

I would like to ask for your prayers. Brian and I have a great friend who received some devastating news last week. Our friend, Jeff, was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic cancer that has metastasized to his liver. Jeff is married to my best friend since childhood and is one of Brian's best friends as well. He and Nicole have two precious little girls, 6 and 9 months. Jeff will begin treatment in a week in Atlanta and needs your prayers as he begins the toughest fight of his life. Jeff was very instrumental in Miles for Madeline being the success that it was and is the kind of person who makes things happen! Please pray for our friend, a father, husband, son, and much more. We believe that God is in control and has Jeff in His hands.

Absolutely praying for Jeff and all those who love him.

This is a Scripture the Lord gave to me when our dear friend was sick with cancer. I'm praying it over Jeff now...

..."Lord, the one you love is sick."

When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

John 11:3-4

I found your blog through Jeff's. I just wanted to let you know what a inspiration your blog was to read. I have a friend who is going through something similar, I know it was no accident that I stumbled on your blog.
Thank you for your faith, and I have added you and your beautiful family to my prayer list.
