Prayer for Bro. Clayton Brown and family!

I was saddened to hear the news of Sis. Janiver Brown passing early this morning! Yet, we rejoice because she has entered into paradise! Our prayers go out to Bro. Clayton Brown, his family and the church in Napa! May God's comfort envelop you and His strength sustain you! We love you all!

Tom Foster Update

Bro. Foster is now back in his room. He had surgery today! The doctors found that the mass was much smaller than first diagnosed. (Go God Go) It was causing a blockage and therefore causing the pain. They are waiting for the pathology report to determine his recovery treatment. If it was 1st or 2nd stage cancer, then there will be no chemo or radiation. If it was 3rd or 4th stage cancer, then chemo or radiation is required. Thank you all for your prayers. They made a difference. He was talking with Gayla and his parents when we called. God is good!

Tom Foster Update

Tom was rushed to the ER tonight as he was in severe pain. They are giving him pain medication through an IV. X-rays determined that the mass was the cause of his pain and it may cause them to operate sooner than his January 8th scheduled surgery. Thank you for your continued prayer for him and the family! He should be able to rest tonight. They have admitted him and will be there until they operate.

Tom Foster Update

Tom's surgery is scheduled for Friday, January 8th @ 7:00 a.m. We covet your prayers!

Tom Foster Update

If you haven't already heard, Tom's surgery was postponed for two weeks. He was given another test on Tuesday to check for other issues in his body. Results of the test will take two weeks. We are believing God! We are planning to go to Dallas on Christmas day and spend the day with them. Thank you again for all the prayers, texts, emails and phone calls.

Tom Foster Update

Surgery is looking like it will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 22nd. Thank you for all your concern and prayers through FB, Emails, and Texts.

Prayer for Tom Foster UPDATE!

The biopsy came back positive. It's cancer. Don't know what kind yet. Preparations are being made for surgery. Radical or Non-radical. He is taking another CT Scan before they decide how to deal with the mass. Appreciate your prayers as he goes through this situation! God is good!

Prayer for Tom Foster

We are asking all of friends and family to pray for Tom Foster. They found a mass in his colon yesterday and are awaiting results from the biopsy and will be consulting with a surgeon today based on those findings! We are trusting God for his healing!

My Dear Aunt Ruth Hernandez!

We lost my aunt, Ruth Hernandez, today following a heart attack in Stockton, CA. She was loved by her family and we will miss her very much. Our hearts and prayers go to her boys, Richie, Eugene and Tommy as well as to their families.

This picture was taken in April of 2008. I met with all four of Dad's sisters and took them to lunch to Dave Wong's in Stockton. We had a great time!

We were scheduled for lunch again this year on June 9th, but we lost Tim on the 4th and we were not able to keep our "date."

I will miss you, Tia! I love you!

Hello to Our Friends!

We have had several friends ask if we are still blogging. So here is a breath of blogging life coming to you tonight! I've kind of left it to Debbie, but will contribute every now then myself! Hope you all are great and I pray God's best for you always!

Special Prayer Request!

I just got the news that Sis. Pam Biggs Lyons, pastor's wife in Galt, CA, passed today after having been sick. I don't know any details, but she was a friend from CLC and we got to keep in touch through the years! Our hearts and prayers are with the Lyons family tonight!

Special Prayer Request

I received an e-mail from Sis. Thetus Tenney this morning asking prayer for her granddaughter Shannon Spears as well as her daughter Teri Spears. Teri, as many of you know has been sick for several years and God has done a miraculous miracle in her life! She has written about her healing, a very powerful testimony! Her daughter Shannon was in Turkey last year working with the Robison's as well as teaching school there and was bitten by a dog while there. She recieved an infection from this that developed into a major illness over the past two months. Shannon is engaged to J.T. Harris and they are supposed to be gettting married next Tuesday, Nov. 25th on the shores of Marco Island in Florida. The following is an e-mail from Sis. Tenney concerning both Teri & Shannon:

Debby, please have your prayer groups pray.

I just got off the phone with Teri. They desperately need prayer re-enforcement.
Shannon, Teri's daughter, has been sick for over a year, and very sick the last two months. It has been a serious illness. She was doing a little better but this morning has a new development. Her wedding is less than a week away. Also, last night Teri woke up with severe leg cramps and cannot yet stand on her feet this morning. The spiritual and physical attack on them has been relentless for the last two months.Please give serious prayer to this need. And join us in fighting this battle with praise that God is more than able!
Thank you,
Thetus Tenney

Thank you for joining us in prayer for Teri & Shannon Spears! OUR GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE!!!

Happy Birthday Steve

Happy Birthday to the love of my life!!! I am so thankful that God brought you into my life. . . .as someone said. . . .Good things come to those who wait! Wow. . .that is so true in my life!! God gave me you!! And I am so thankful!! Our Bible Study Connect group surprised Steve on Thursday night with a Birthday dinner, Nana & Ampa (Steve's parents) made homemade tamales and beans on Saturday, the church surprised him on Sunday, our family celebrated together on Sunday evening at Houston's and upgraded him with the new 3G iPhone and apple bluetooth! Then today as per his request, I made him chicken, shrimp, & turkey sausage gumbo & a german chocolate cake! My cousin Paula and her husband Randy Reno (from Albuquerque) are in town on their way to Hawaii, so they celebrated with us tonight!

It's been one continuous FUN PARTY and no one is more deserving than you, Steve Saiz!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Babe. . . I love you very much!!

The Fires here is Southern California

The fires are burning once again in southern California. All over the L.A. area smoke fills the air. Steve and I had gone to eat homemade tamales at his Mom's (yes, they were delicious.....his Dad & Mom make them from scratch), afterwards we decided to drive by the water. Below is a picture I took with my iPhone. . . .a very hazy ocean. The whole scene to me looked like I was looking at a sepia picture.

When we drove into our driveway, I looked over and looked at my use to be clean car. . . .there was ash all over it! I shot the pic below of it:

Later on, I was outside in the back and could not believe what I saw in our pool! Ash was all in it! Here's a pic:

We don't live in the fire areas and are not experiencing those strong Santa Ana winds, but we did get the warmer weather today around 90 degrees which is very warm for the ocean area! Thankfully we don't have the humidity to go along with the heat! It is sad that so many people have lost their homes. . . . .everything but the clothes on their backs. Our hearts and prayers go out to all who have experienced this devestation. Our prayers are with all of our firefighters as well.

We Honor Our Veterans Today!

We salute our Veterans today! Thank you for your service to our country!

Fun At General Conference

Friday night of conference, my 2 great neices, Jayden (7) & Jesi (6) spent the night with Uncle Steve & Aunt Debbie! We enjoyed them so much. . . .telling the bed time story, praying together before going to sleep, just laughing and having fun together and them waking up the next morning and getting to eat skittles in bed! I look forward to the holidays when we get to see Jayden & Jesi again along with Shiloh Grace and baby Huck on my side as well as Seth and Liah on Steve's side! They are all so much fun! I've enjoyed being an aunt to my 4 nephews (Jonathan, Jeremy, Shiloh, & Hayden) and my 1 neice (Cheyenne). . . .the fun continues as their kids come along!
