I have Cancer, and I'm in trouble

Posted by Boomer Zipp on June 5, 2008 at 2:19pm in Health

For those who have been around the ePrayer.org site, you might know me as one of the volunteers that helps Dave out. Some just know me as the airplane guy because of my photo.

I'm normally a very expressive individual, and in fact, speak for a living. Normally you can't shut me up. I've been sitting here at my terminal for the last hour sobbing.... unable to speak or express myself.

How do you tell folks you know, and in some cases love to peaces, that you have Cancer and probably won't see the end of summer? There it is...

I know my God is an awesome God. He's been so good to me, but I feel so lonely and numb. I wont even ask for your prayers. I'll ask for your forgiveness for the thoughts that have been running through my mind today.

I start aggressive chemo tomorrow. Lord, please give me strength. I feel so numb. I'm sorry if this is not making sense. It's been one of those days.

I also am a survivor, it was very frightening when I realized I could actually die before I wanted to. THE DEVIL tried to kill me. I got mad! That was 14 years ago, PRAISE GOD. I lost my brother 1 1/2 years ago, he was diagnosed in January and died in May. ALL WE HAVE IS JESUS.... Alive or otherwise, we must trust Him .......... HE HAS THE PLAN. God be with you. My love in Jesus. Connie; ▶ Reply to This

We'll rally the troops and support you in prayer, love, and really cheezy jokes so the only choice you have is to smile. You'll be laughing so hard, milk will come shooting out your nose....again. (For everyone who doesn't know Boomer personally, he LOVES to make peoople smile and get them to laugh. During one of these joke telling sessions, he laughed so hard, milk came shooting out his nose).

I want you to know that God will help with the weight on your shoulders, I can't begin to tell you how this makes one feel. I will be praying for you and I want you to know you have another friend in Cape Town, South Africa. BE BLESSED AND KEEP THE FAITH.; ▶ Reply to This

A friend of mines several months ago was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer in both breast and I report to you today that God has completely healed her and she did not lose her breast, the cancer is completely gone. So despite what the report may be, believe the report of the Lord that said that by His stripes you are already healed and rebuke the spirit of fear that is trying to attack you. I will be praying for you boomer, remember that God is able.; ▶ Reply to This
