Just got an update from Grace via txt. She says Andrew hasn't gone yet, but is on high doses of morphine and has not been conscious since the last text (which was at 3:30 am). His brother has just arrived. It should be any time now. She asks for prayer that he is physically comfortable in his final hours here.
Thank you all for your prayers. I have relayed to Grace that an enormous amount of people are praying and pouring out their concern and expressions of love via email and here on the blog. I don't think she's been checking emails or been on the blog yet today, but I myself have been encouraged by the comments shared and I know that Grace and family will appreciate reading them when they get to it.
Please continue to pray for divine comfort and strength for Grace and their family and for continued peace.
If you haven't had the chance to read any entries below yet, I encourage you to at least read Grace's last post so you can read her own words on how best to pray for her and hopefully you will also be encouraged by her courage and faith.
I will continue to post updates as I hear from Grace.
For HIS glory,
Georgia Lee
Earnestly praying for you guys. May God be glorified completely! Praise God for Andrew's salvation!
ReplyDeleteI have constantly prayed for the family all day! For God's strength and comfort to be present.
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
ReplyDeleteWe love you dearly and we are praying earnestly.

Praying for a miracle, and praying for you Grace - may He strengthen you as you give your beloved into the arms of his eternal Beloved.

ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I am a friend of Julie Bhatt Clark's . . . I found your site through Julie's FB. I am a cancer survivor and cared for my mom in my home until she died of ovarian cancer in June 2008 . . . she was diagnosed two weeks after I completed my chemo . . .I just want you to know that although I have not lost my husband to cancer, my heart breaks for you . . .I am praying for you and your family . . . and if I can be a shoulder for you to weep on, I'd count it a tremendous privilege . . .May God bless, carry and keep you. In His love . . .
ReplyDeleteWe've also been lifting you to God especially today. May you feel His comfort and the strength of His everlasting arms holding you firm.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you, Lord, for saving Andrew and giving him eternal life and showing Your glory thru him!

Grace, I am praying for you! I am convinced that God loves you and has a special hand on your life! He is your keeper and the shade at your right hand (Ps. 121). Much love and many prayers, Rebecca
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my prayers throughout the day, and I am confident that our Lord will be faithful in bringing you comfort, peace, and joy today, as He has in every trial thus far.
ReplyDeleteGoing Home... such a reminder to all of us of the eternal hope we have in Christ! Our God is so good.
I love you guys!
Lord Jesus, come quickly.
ReplyDeleteLoving you,
Andrew and Judy W.
Andrew and Grace, the faith you two have had is incomprehensible to me even as a fellow heir of grace. Your reliance on God and His promises through His true Word absolutely convicts me to re-evaluate my heart to make sure that Christ is my rock. Thank you for showing your faithfulness and glorifying God through your trials. I pray earnestly that Andrew does miraculously recover and your family continues to trust God in everything.
ReplyDeleteI came upon this blog for the first time yesterday (via team pyro) and I read much of Andrew's journey last night. I am praying, praying, praying for you Grace.

Grace,
ReplyDeleteHave been praying for you since Helen called me yesterday to give me the update. We feel so much love for you, for AJ, Gracie, and Andrew. We pray that God will reveal Himself to you in ways which you have never experienced. We love you, and ARE praying for you, and find joy in thankfulness for God's infinite glory - thankful that our Christian friendships will extend to eternal depths when we worship the King together forever.
Love to you now and always,
