My brother is resting well after his heart cath today which revealed the blood clot had dissolved; a new stint was put in place and it is expected that he will go home tomorrow.

This is one little sister who is praising the LORD!  Thank you. Thank you for every prayer you prayed; in the days ahead if the Holy Spirit prompts you to pray for him again, please do.

You all have a wonderful weekend — mine just got a WHOLE LOT BETTER!! And there’s more to come —  We’ve got GRANDS coming for a couple hours this evening and I have a Beth Moore Simulcast conference in the morning at Bay Community Church.   Wahoo!

Holy hugs, kt.

Friday, September 17, 2010 — IDOK Devotion

Just a quick hello and thank you for your prayers for my brother, William. We all are resting easier tonight and with all our hearts want to be resting even easier tomorrow night – with the blood clot gone, the stint textbook perfectly replaced and William going home on Saturday morning to gloriously recuperate. Your prayers in that direction are truly coveted.

Between praying, pacing, phone calls and blog posting and blog reading, I watched some Christian television programming today and heard some good stuff — too bad my thoughts are too foggy to share right now!   :)

But this I do remember –  Scripture sustains my soul.

What Scriptures have given you strength lately? Here are a few of mine.

This one particularly: My grace is sufficient for you.  Say it, believe it and the mind does find rest.

2 Corinthians 12 NKJV: ⁹ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   source

Psalm 145: (New American Standard Bible)¹⁷The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. ¹⁸The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.  source

Philippians 4: (New American Standard Bible) ¹³I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.  source

In Mark 6:31 the LORD gave the Disciples an invitation to Come away – to rest.   I shall heed it shortly.

This day is far spent; bodies are tired and minds too; and, Father, You have been faithful.  Thank You.  Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister these Scriptures and others to our IDOKs in JESUS’ NAME. Amen and amen.

Holy hugs, kt.

Doctor said before going in it would be a miracle from God to find it better than he was expecting.

He found better than he was expecting.

Presently no open heart surgery but another Cath tomorrow and between now and then a very large blood clot that has a former stint 100% block must be dissolved so the doctor can repair or replace the stint.

Please pray the blood clot will quickly and safely dissolve and the stint will be replaced textbook perfectly.  Please ask the LORD to let me keep my brother here with renew health.

Thank you for every prayer you pray.

Love and holy hugs, kt

My brother’s heart cath is scheduled to begin at 1:30 – about 30 minutes from now.  The doctors are not saying things we want to hear.  I am asking for your prayers to counter and negate the doctors’ expectations.

I will keep you posted as I can. I have asked as boldly and for as bold a healing for my brother as I know how.  I KNOW He has  heard and I KNOW I want Him to hear from you all too.

Waiting . . .

Holy hugs, kt
