Thank you again for your needed Prayer Support, we are both at this time experiencing the Storms that come in life but appreciate and are very thankful we are not going it alone. God has kept our focus strong, through you, our Christian Family, with your Prayer Support and encouragement and His assurance that He never leaves us, as we see confirmed in the Scriptures below, we are all very close to Him and He hears us and answers our Prayers even more than we know to ask for.
Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.” (K.J.V)
Jeremiah 29 :11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (K.J.V)
Lamentations 3: 33 For God doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. (K.J.V)
Just a brief update from Ron…
I went to the Oncologist today and he felt it’s either Paget’s Disease or Prostrate Cancer that is responsible for the Symptoms I’m presenting and he has ordered more tests to be done next week, one being a Biopsy, it will take a week or more before Treatment starts after the diagnosis is established, thanks again for your prayers their much appreciated.
My Update…..
How can we ever Thank God enough for His intervention when we suffer the afflictions life or Satan brings, I would like to share just how God helped me again recently.
The second pinched nerve ( see link below) started to give me pain yesterday and I was worried because I would no doubt have to wait weeks this time to have the Steroid injected to Block the pain, but I prayed and felt at peace.
First pinched Nerve – https://freedomborn.wordpress.com/2014/11/07/it-never-just-rains-it-pours-but-god-is-good-all-the-time/
I was going to phone the Radiologist’s Secretary to make another appointment but she phoned me first and said she hadn’t cancelled the original appointment as we had planned to do if she didn’t hear from me, which she didn’t because up to yesterday I had no pain but just in case I had more problems and had to come back for the second pinched nerve to be injected with Steroids, she said after thinking about it she thought she would cancel if it was not needed that’s why she phoned, so I didn’t have to wait, I had the procedure done straight away and in a few days all will be ok again. God is so good all the time!
Christian Love and Thanks from both of us Ron and Anne.

I am just getting back into reading your blogs. I thought this might be the most current, but seeing the date, perhaps not. Is there a definite diagnosis of Ron’s cancer? And do I understand correctly Anne, that you are the one suffering from the pinched nerves? My prayers are with both of you, and the things that you are going through – the pain and the illness.
This past year has truly been a tough one for me with my pain issues, too. And how I agree with you … our God is good all the time, and only allows to come to us what is for our good.
Love and prayers in Christ … Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn, you have a beautiful caring heart, as I found when we first Blogged together.
No this is not the Latest Post, if you look on the right hand side of our Blog you will find at the top ” Loved by The Potter ” it is the most current.
Ron had a tumor on his sixth rib which they removed but they still don’t know what caused it or if he will need further treatment, he will be having another Biopsy later in the month, he is still in pain from the Operation but is getting stronger everyday.
I had an accident a few days ago shopping in Coles Supermarket , hopefully I haven’t done any more nerve damage, so far it does not seem so, you can be sure though I was praying when the Ambulance men were helping me after the accident, the pain was very bad at the time but it seems to have all gone today.
Thank you again for taking the time to visit and share Carolyn, I hope now we can continue to uplift and encourage each other as we share about our Awesome God and yes He is Love and can be no other way.
As I was replying to your Comment Carolyn, I kept thinking about a Song, it’s one of my past favorites and I still appreciate very much it’s Truth today, I’m going to Post it here for us .
Christian Love Always – Anne.

Dear Anne ~ From the very first time that I read your blog, I felt a kinship with you. I love your heart for the Lord, and the way that you share His love to others. I too have this desire, and hope to be used of God as I blog. That song – “Bind Us Together” is one that I used to sing, too… it has been so long since I heard it, and it is such a good prayer song. I look forward to God binding us together through the sharing and the prayers and the ministry. I shall be praying for both your nerve and back pain, as well as for Ron and his biopsy and his recovery from surgery.
Love in Christ … Carolyn

Yes I felt the same Carolyn, we are Christian family, and are One in Christ Jesus, I’m so pleased you liked the song and yes only Jesus can bind hearts together with cords that can’t be broken.
Thanks for your prayers Carolyn, they are greatly appreciated , I don’t have the pain in the back now although it may come from there but mostly the nerve pain is on my left side, I do have relief with God’s Balm but it does come back but thankfully right now I have no pain.
I’m also thanking God that I’m not in pain from the accident two days ago because I hit the floor very hard and than was dragged by the Scooter which ran over my foot too, I’m still not sure how it all happened but everyone was very kind and caring, they wanted me to go to Hospital but at the time I just wanted to disappear, everyone was looking at me , in the end after almost two hours, I was OK so I went on my way but was very grateful when I got home.
See you soon – Blessings – Anne

I am sorry I haven’t been around as of late. Things were hectic and strange. I have started blogging again. I got myself a Mac desktop computer so will be using that at home instead of my laptop. I will also be starting online courses in January so, I will be blogging weekly about how I am doing with my online course.
Thanks for keeping us all updated.

I can relate to pinched nerves. I often have to stop stitching or writing because I have one in my upper back, neck area that gives me a lot of problems. Isn’t it awesome that God has allowed our medical scientists to progress to the point that there are actually remedies and procedures that work. I say…Go God! Hang in there! Blessings to you and yours! Marie

Hi Marie, thank you for visiting and sharing, it’s very much appreciated, I’m sorry to hear you suffer from a pinched nerve too, they are very painful but like you shared God has given man the ability to be able to help mankind and we thank Him for doing this even if sadly many don’t including Christians, yes God also heals Miraculously but He uses many tools as you shared too, yes He is the only Healer.
