Pastor Kevin Melin just sent this to me for Crossview to pray:

"Our daughter, Laura, recently heard from her doctor following her MRI's. She has a condition called Chicari Malformation where her lower brain begins to press on the spinal canal causing her many symptoms she has been experiencing. She meets with a neuro surgeon next Monday to know what can be done and next steps. We are still on the front side of these matters not knowing short term and long term ramifications of all this. Please pray for all these matters. We are confident that God will meet us in the midst of the medical mess and move with might and in His sovereignty on these matters. Just to clarify, this is not our daughter who suffered the High Altitude Cerebral Edema last summer. So not our brown haired older daughter, but our blond haired younger daughter who is married to a youth pastor and has two boys, 28 months and 9 months. In His Grip, Kevin and Mary Melin."

Four weeks ago, I had some pain in my shoulder. I went to the doctor and he said it was likely a pinched nerve and he gave me a week of steroids. It helped with the pain, but during that time, I lost half the movement in my left arm. I'm unable to rise my arm above my shoulder. So I went back to the doctor and he said he has never seen anything like it, but ordered an MRI of my shoulder and neck, still thinking it's a pinched nerve. Meanwhile, I am struggling not having full movement in my left arm (I'm left handed as well). Simple things like putting my shirt on, putting deodorant on, and washing my hair I struggle with daily. It is also affecting my work. The MRI came back negative, but then I got to thinking, I should get a brain MRI to check for MS. I have MANY symptoms of MS. Dysphagia, trouble focusing, extreme fatigue, numbness and tingling in my hands and legs, unable to fully void my bladder, mood swings, and this weak muscle problem just to name a few. And, to top it off, my brother and cousin both have MS. My brother's is mild and under control, my cousin is in a wheelchair. Both were diagnosed about my age. Things are not looking favorable and MS has always been in the back of my mind for the last year or two as these symptoms started.

Anyway, I had my brain MRI today, and am having a lot of anxiety waiting for the results. I am asking for prayer to have God help me with this (hopefully) short term anxiety. I'm hoping to get results this week sometime. Then, regardless of the results, I am going to need help letting go and trusting God to take care of this for me. I know of several people that have done this, and He always comes through, so I'm not sure why I struggle passing the baton on to Him.

Please pray for our grandson who is being bullied at school (already on the 2nd day of school)...pray that he will find a friend who will stand by and for him and who he can trust and share feelings with...and that he won't be overcome with feelings of poor self-worth and depression. Put people in his path that will encourage him and ingrain in him the knowledge that God loves him.

Please put this URGENT Prayer request on the prayer chain.

Our niece, Raeane, has been diagnosed with a muscle wasting disease. She was told today it is one of the worst kinds to get.

We know nothing else about her prognosis but already she is disabled and sits in a recliner and can only walk short distances with

a walker. She really needs prayer for healing and peace of mind as this is a difficult diagnosis!

Thank you,

Tom and Kathy Brunz

Please pray for our daughter-in-law, Christine, who is wanting to end her marriage to our son, Ben. Pray that God intercedes and opens her heart to loving him again to prevent their separation. Pray that He heals her heart and lifts her from her dark and depressed feelings. Pray that the Holy Spirit's love and grace descends on her that she will accept Ben's re-affirmation of his love and commitment to her. Pray for God's blessing on Ben that his broken heart may be healed, too. Pray also for their children that they be spared from broken hearts and a broken home. May God be glorified through this work in her and them and in their continued marriage! Praise be to God!
