Big prayers needed!

I was on my way to my book club meeting this morning when a song came on KLOVE that sounded vaguely familiar.  I listened even closer to the words to try to figure out just how I knew the song.

It was this one.  Have you heard it before?



As I listened to the lyrics, it came to me that I'd heard this song just once before.  My friend Wren posted it on her support page on Facebook and shared it was a song that really spoke to her since she's been on her journey with rectal cancer.

I continued to listen to the words and my heart was so overwhelmed.  I thought about Wren and just began to pray for her. Little did I know, today would be a day that big prayers for Wren would need to be said.

If you've read my posts about Wren here and here, you'll remember me sharing about her being diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer just a couple of months back when she was just 25 weeks pregnant.  The Lord answered prayers in a big way when Wren was able to continue her pregnancy while receiving mild treatment for the cancer.  Then, about three weeks ago, the doctors finally determined that the treatments weren't working aggressively enough and they decided to have Wren deliver her baby, Grace.

In the last couple of weeks since Grace was born, it's been so special getting to see little Grace in pictures on Facebook as she continues to be cared for in the NICU.  A little earlier today, this sweet pic of Wren and Grace was posted...

 

The most recent focus now that Wren isn't pregnant anymore has been to work on getting her better.  The plan was to start chemo and radiation to shrink the tumor and then do surgery later on down the road.  This week was supposed to be the week for aggressive treaments to start, including chemo and radiation but after today and new test results, plans have changed.

A PET scan was done last Friday, and today they found that the cancer has spread through different parts of her body, including her lungs.  The doctors have decided that they will not be starting the treatments tomorrow as originally planned and are waiting to decide what to do from here.

Upon learning this news this afternoon, I felt like my heart was ripping to pieces.  I still can't believe that this is happening and all I could do was cry out to the Lord.  Wren is such a beautiful mother and friend and I it breaks my heart to know that she has to go through all of this.

Tonight, I just want to ask to anyone that may be reading this to say a prayer for Wren and her family.  I don't have any fancy words to say but I just know that God hears everything we say and there's power in intercession.

Would you please pray for this sweet momma?

Your love and support means more than you know!  I am continuing to believe that the Lord can work a miracle and I'm standing on his Word and his promises!
