There is a disease process going on in my body that makes me fearful of the treatment ahead.  Symptoms are confusing:  yoyo blood pressure, heart racing, a nodule in my lung and a swollen lymph gland on my neck.  My last surgery was so painful…I don’t think I can go through it again.  Please pray that the nodule is close to the outside surface of the lung and that a biopsy will be minimally invasive rather than having to have my rib cage cracked open again.(from one of our mentors)

TMC Online Requests: Marriage and Relationships

After 12 years of marriage, my husband says “It’s over”. We have 11yr and 8 yr old sons and a 4 yr old daughter. He says he loves me and will always, but thinks I will lead him to “bankruptcy”.  I am a stay at home mom, volunteer at the kids school, and he doesn’t value my worth for this.. We only owe on our home, and cars are paid off, and have no debt. He recently suffered a cut in pay and is being really mean. PLEASE Pray for us to stay together.

My husband left me last January after 14 yrs of marriage. I was devastated and hurt. After a year, I still feel like I don’t know if I can love or trust anyone again. It is hard for me.
