Pray for Mrs. Pippins

I just found out this morning that one of my mom's long time coworkers, friends, and my 3rd grade teacher has a "spot" that has shown up in her brain. Karen Pippins was diagnosed with breast cancer over 10 years ago. She battled and won, but several years later her cancer returned this time to find her liver. She has been fighting this cancer for the past several years and has had lower tumor markers in recent months. She has been doing treatments for maintenance and has been looking great. She just retired in May from teaching and I know has been looking forward to retirement. I just found out that Mrs. Pippins has a "spot" now on her brain and she will go for an MRI this upcoming week. I was brought to tears and to immediate prayer. We all know the power of prayer...I've seen it through my family, friends, and in the world around me and truly God can do the impossible and unthinkable! I'm sure most all of you who read my blog have been touched by cancer in some way. Many of you may have similar situations to Mrs. Pippins. That is why I am asking all of you to stop right now and pray for Mrs. Pippins. She is a wonderful, strong, woman who needs our prayers and the healing hand of God right now. Thanks friends and God bless:)
