Warrior Roderick
Tonight’s post will be short…. I come to you, our prayer warriors asking for prayer for our dear friend, Roderick. Roderick is fighting osteosarcoma, he’s had NINE surgeries and he is a WARRIOR like I’ve never met! He’s had the entire bone removed from his leg and has a metal rod inserted, yet he doesn’t let it hinder him AT ALL! He’s had a spot removed from his lung and so much more. He’s done everything right! He is the perfect example of a kid following all of doctor’s orders, sticking to his therapies and rising above. Yesterday, I learned that his cancer has spread to his brain. The tumor is not in a place that they feel is operable. TCH has told them there isn’t much left for them to do. I just don’t believe this to be the case… not with this kid! He’s super hero strong! He’s been through so much that there has to be a HUGE fu
ture testimony waiting for him to share. Please, please pray for Roderick and his family. Please pray that St. Jude’s may know of something that TCH doesn’t and if so, that they will approve his request for treatment. As his mom said, they will NEGU but there comes a time when you can’t help but wonder why. Please pray for her peace and for courage. It’s been a tough week all around for our cancer community… so many brave fighters that we’ve been praying for left this world. This is not a world in which I ever wanted to live, but I do, and it’s so heartbreaking. Often times the good days are overshadowed quickly by the unimaginable sadness when one of our children is taken too soon. Several times, out of protection and the best intentions I’m sure, friends have said that I shouldn’t get so deep into the lives and stories of these families, but their stories are our story. Jesus says that we com
fort and love

Father God we kneel before you to ask for peace and joy in the hearts and minds of those who have children who have gone to be with the Lord. We praise Your Holy Name for the knowledge that these babies are running and playing, worshiping You right now, no longer hurting, no longer suffering with worldly illnesses. Father God, we ask for strength for the family members as they support each other at the hospital and we ask that You answer the requests for Roderick and his treatment. Heal him that he may serve you with a beautiful testimony. Please continue to heal Jake and place his family under Your protecting wing, that they may continue to be what You want them to be to all those they come in contact with. Praising You for answered prayers. In Jesus Name we pray
