Hang in there treerat.

You can do it. I have a good friend with a rare blood disease that has gone through the same things in the last few years. Right now his problems all seem to all be somewhat in remission and he's doing much better.

[screamin6x6]

The LORD will never leave you, nor never forsake you. Prayers going out from here.

treerat,

We all are siners, and no one is perfect. Just from your post it looks like you are doing well with your faith. With all of what you are going through you still have it, that says alot in itself. You and your family are in my thoughts.

[stevenvalleyagain]

Treerat- my families prayers are with you.

Romans 8:28

Treerat,
I can imagine, it took alot to write that post. I want you to know that we are thinking about you. I always remember this verse: "I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

You are in the Lords hands, he is taking care of you.

[kidd rock]

Every one at DND Outdoors will keep you in our prayers. Keep your head up. ;)

[ecmbowhunter]

Treerat, you know we're all one big, yet slightly dysfunctional family here. No shame in posting that up. Hang in there man, and feel free to holler at me if you need anything.

[MsgMills]

Praying for your health to return and that you have a speedy recovery through this tough time. Hang in their and let the lord help you with the many issues your having at this time.

[150PandY]

Hang in there treerat, keep your faith and dont loose hope. Read the book of Job for a story of pain and suffering and how God made it all better for him. My family will be praying for you.

[dipits]

Prayers for you on the way.

[Hammer]

[Redlined]

[KY_Fried]

Very sorry to hear about your health probs treerat. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Get well soon! :)

[Sand Gap Sniper]

Teerat, in my opinion, it takes more of a man to ask for support and prayer than it does to try to tough things out on your own.

I know things like this are hard to understand, but remember, all things work together for the good of those who love God. We are praying for you.

[12 pointer]

Treerat, prayers will be said for you. Keep your faith. You know God has brought you this far. AND REMEMBER.........There are no "Perfect" christans anywhere. There are none here that don't sin. You know your position with the Lord. Keep close and Pray.

Mike

And NEVER hate to ask for Prayer. The Bible says For two or more to come together. That is what we are here for.

[Kentuck]

Praying for ya Treerat. Hang in there. The Lord promised to never leave us nor forsake us. We don't always know why but regardless, He is still in control.

[Wildcat]

Stuff just happens man. You can't blame your health on not being perfect. Read Ecclesiastes 8:14 if you don't believe me:

"There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: righteous men who get what the wicked deserve, and wicked men who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless."


All I can say is that I know what you're going through. Earlier this year my little cousin was diagnosed with cancer nearly immediately after having a child. She made it about 6 months I guess, and passed away a couple of months ago or so. During the same time, my grandfather also had cancer, and my aunt, the mother of my cousin, also is battling a very harsh form of cancer. Needless to say, there was alot of faith related questions being asked, the most shocking of which was from my grandmother, and I've never witnessed her sway one inch in all my 30 years. It really is that hard.

I've even seen a glimpse of that personally, although nowhere near on the same level as cancer, at least I hope not. This past winter I got on a big health kick and strived to eat and exercise in the best possible manner. Plus, in February when I was up to my ears in personal problems, I found myself walking down front at church to get right with the Lord, and rededicate myself. I had been through the motions when I was a kid, but never really thought it was real, so I got baptized again. I tried to turn my life around and tried to pay attention to people I interacted with to find out ways I could help them do the same. So how is my life 6 months later? Well, I've been sick for the past 6 months. I got sick in the middle of February and have only gotten worse since. I wake up and about an hour later I get this rush of sleepiness as if I just swallowed some sleeping pills. I'm typing this halfway squinty eyed right now. Sometimes its so bad I can't walk in a straight line. I've reverted back to drinking sodas just to stay awake. When its real bad I can't concentrate so I just get onto the forums and BS with everybody as an escape. Doctors have no idea what's going on. They've offered suggestions, but other people with the same problems they mentioned don't feel like this. I can't have coherent conversations until later that night, often times I don't make any sense when I'm talking to somebody face to face, it's like trying to hold an intelligent conversation after you've stayed up all night. You just can't do it.

So anyway, not sure if any of this helps, just trying to say that I feel your pain at least a little. Yes, you start asking alot of questions. Just try to hang in there and hope for the best. Also try reading the whole book of Ecclesiastes. Most of it seems very dark and depressing but after you've read the whole thing and put things into perspective, the end of it makes you feel alot better.

[trust me]

Ditto on the book Ecclesiastes. Good reading for anyone.

Hang in there brother! Though we don't always understand the Lords ways his ways are not our own. Apostle Paul had a thorn as he referred to it( many say it was a physical disability) that tormented him something fierce. Jesus asked My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me? Then said not my will but yours be done. My father a devote Christian suffered through three back surgeries and bone fused from his hip to his spine. More rods and steel plates that the bionic man. Spent 18 hrs. to days and weeks in the bed. Doctors talked about morphine pump and said that he would never get off pain meds. Took 120 milligrams of oxycontin twice a day for seven years. This very day I am proud to say that my father is completely off pain meds. and out of bed liven his life. This is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. I can't imagine the doubt you must be feeling. DONT GIVE UP THE FIGHT. YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST!

The LORD will never leave you, nor never forsake you. Prayers going out from here.
