Prayer for our friends

We want to share a burden that is on our hearts and while it does not relate specifically to Beautiful Gate, it affects our family. We have some friends whom we attend church and bible study with back in Zeeland, MI that are in need of a miraculous healing. Lindy, the wife and mother of 3, has been battling cancer for over 3 years. She started with breast cancer and for awhile it looked like she had beaten it, but then it moved to her brain. She had a special surgery for the 6 spots on her brain, and they were shrinking and things were looking very good, but then cancer showed up in her lungs and new spots in her brain. She has had multiple chemo, radiation, tests, tests and more tests, horrible side effects- pretty much every single one imaginable and now she has been having fluid build up in her heart and lungs and is in the hospital. Our hearts long to comfort her and her family as they fight this battle, but we are unable to do more than pray and try to send encouraging emails.
So we are asking for you to pray with us please. Pray for her husband Dusty who has been trying to work, be a supportive husband and father and keep his faith strong for his family. Pray for Lindy that God would provide her healing so she can live long on this earth and raise her precious children. Pray for her children, and her parents and other loved ones who are supporting her and Dusty. They are such a beautiful and amazing family and we long for her health to return so they can enjoy being together as a family, pain free and cancer free! Our family has been praying everyday for over 3 years especially Mercy who prays for Ms. Lindy every single time she prays (usually 2-3 times a day).
If you would like to read more about their story so you can pray more specifically, you can scroll down my blog and you will find a spot for blogs I follow (on the right) and the VerBeek blog is the 4th one down. Thank you for your prayers,
Anita, Bryan, Elijah, Faith and Mercy
