Requesting prayers for Mike as he goes through GK tomorrow
« on: June 10, 2012, 10:54:58 am »
I'm rallying for all the prayer warriors to start praying for my friend and co-forum member Mike for his GK procedure that takes place tomorrow Monday, June 11, 2012.

As I'm sure you all know Mike has been through a lot with his AN “Irv”, has led many prayer requests for others on and off the forum so here's our chance to help Mike.

Mike here's wishing you the best of results as you partake in your GK procedure tomorrow, moving from Watch and Wait to a “Toastie Postie”!  Keep us informed of your progress.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

To all of My ANgels,

You have truly touched me with your prayers and your well wishes as Karen said tomorrow I can look forward to be a Toastie Postie! I have looked forward to that moment for a long time!

I am graduating to the next level! I can't wait to write in my GK Treatment Journal what an amazing trip this is! Thank you one and all for encouraging me this far! As Wayne Dyer says "I AM HEALED" see it and it shall be!

God be with you as HE is with me! When HE is on my side, who will stand against us! Certainly not a puny little AN called "Irv"!

As we each deal with our little nightmares individually, I wish you the same group support you have given me, thank you!

ANgels,


Praying works immensely! This is what it means to be a community! Thank you ever so much, you don't know how much this meant to me! In the beginning, when I was first diagnosed with having the reoccurrence it felt like 2004 all over again. Well let me tell you, I couldn't have been more wrong, for all the support and camaraderie I've felt.2012 was a banner year for me, it gave me the ANA Forum and exposed me to a lot of people with whom I didn't know I had a lot in common with....
It is a hu boing experience indeed! It's good to be humble

I owe you in a big way, as a way of paying it forward, I will continue to advocate for pEople who have AN's and will continue to make people aware of subtle changes that occur in balance as we age


Mike.
