The Fight Begins Again

It's with a very heavy heart that I update this blog to let you know that the Jensen family just received the news that Luke's cancer has returned. For a full update visit their Caring Bridge site.
You can leave your prayers and encouragement there or here.

PLEASE remember to lift this family up in your prayer everyday! Pray for Luke's complete and total healing here on earth!!! Prayer that God's glory would be revealed through the complete healing of Luke. Pray that cancer would be completely eradicated from Luke's life once and for all!! Pray for STRENGTH for Luke's parents, Vikki and Steve. Also, please be praying for Luke's brother and sister that God would comfort them and would continue to be their source of hope!

When you leave a prayer of encouragement on this site for Luke and his family I will add a link to Luke's prayer chain. If you scroll down to older posts in this blog you will see that the last time Luke battled this disease (and won) we covered his room in stars and the stars represented people who were praying for him from all over the world!

This time I wanted Luke to know that just as many...and maybe EVEN MORE PEOPLE are praying for him this time! So won't you join the prayer chain and be a prayer warrior for LUKE!

For those of you with a blog....Please feel free to grab the button and add to your sidebar or to a post and encourage others to JOIN THE PRAYER CHAIN!!

Please don't click out of here without leaving a prayer. I know as bloggers many of us are in the habit of reading and leaving.....but this is real life people and Luke really needs your prayers. And this prayer chain will give him a visual representation of those prayers. Just think of how much that will mean to him and what an encouragement it will be!

Please leave your name and the state or country you live in.

Long overdue Update....To God be the Glory!

In Sept/Oct. of 2007 our friends son Luke was diagnosed with AML Leukemia. So many of you prayed for that little boy and your prayers were greatly appreciated during the last year of chemo and treatment. Luke is doing VERY WELL and nearly a year after diagnosis the doctors are saying that he doesn't even look like a boy who was sick! Praise God!

500 down...Infinity to go!

Our friends son Luke, who will soon be 7 years old, was just recently diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. I was talking with Luke's Aunt the other day and she told me a story about how someone asked him what he wanted. He replied with two answers. He said that he wanted "100....no 500 prayers." Then he said that "before he left the hospital he wanted a needle so that he could give every doctor a shot." Well, I don't think there's much we can do about the shots, but we can give him 500 prayers.

So here is the idea I have. If you already have been, or you will commit to praying for Luke and would like to be a part of his 500 prayers just leave a comment with your name, the state you live in and your prayer for Luke.

I am doing both of the following with all the comments:
1. Put your name on a blue star (Luke's favorite color is blue) and taking them to Luke's hospital room and hanging them on the wall so that Luke will have a visual reminder each day that he has his 500 prayers.
2. I am making a booklet for Luke with all of the names and prayers and bringing it to him to have in his room as a tangible reminder of his 500 prayers.

I am bringing Luke the stars and prayers each week as they come in. I know he is encouraged by them as it helps for him to know how many people are praying.

Thank you for all your prayers!
