When you think of The 3 in 1, you most likely think of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Today, those of you who read this blog are united in prayer for Alyson. Today she goes in for a single mastectomy on her left breast, which is the beginning of her treatment for breast cancer. Today we are the 3 in 1, but in a different sense. We are united in posture, thoughts, and prayers. Posture in that we are all on our knees before God. On our knees telling God that we are powerless and that we are asking for His Will to be done and His Kingdom glorified. Thoughts, thinking of Alyson as she begins her fight against cancer. Prayers..., prayers of healing, strength, wisdom, and courage. We are doing all three of these things at once, in Michigan, in Texas, in St. Louis, in Illinois, in Virginia, in Ohio, in any place that knows Alyson.
I was thinking of a Nicole C. Mullen song that says, "When I call on Jesus, all things are possible. I can mount on wings of eagles and soar. When I call on Jesus, mountains are going to fall...". We are calling on Jesus today and anything is possible. The one thing we know for sure is that Jesus will be glorified in all of this. He will hear our prayers and He will see the desires of our hearts because He is in all things.
As Jesus is my spiritual rock and salvation, so to is Alyson my earthly rock and salvation. On this earth she is why I wake each morning. She is my strength and courage and without her I am merely a blind man walking in a dense forrest. In her I see the definition of strength and courage...
Today we are the great 3 in 1...
Lord,
You are the one TRUE God. Your power is immeasurable, your Love is indescribable. You are awesome! Thank you for giving up your Son for our sins. Thank you for your Son, so that we can come before you and petition for your help. Today Lord, my wife, our friend, your daughter begins a journey that only you truly understand. She begins a journey that only you know the end result. WE TRUST YOU. Today, Lord we ask for wisdom, courage, strength, and for your Will to be done. We ask for fast healing. We ask Lord that you allow Aly's lymph nodes to map, so that the doctor's don't have to take all of the lymph nodes. We ask that you be with Alyson as she prepares for what is ahead. You have given her such a warrior spirit, and we ask that she continues with that spirit. Lord, whatever you would have us do for Alyson during this time, let us do so without hesitation. Lord we ask that you be with the doctor's. Give them wisdom, and precision with their instruments. Please be the hands that guide, please be the eyes that see. We love you Lord...
Let that be the start of our prayers for today. Thank you all so very much.

Brian, Geof and I just read this. One thing that jumps out at me (among MANY things) is when you say "Lord, whatever you would have us do for Alyson during this time, let us do so without hesitation." This morning in my quiet time I was praying for Alyson and I asked God for something I could give her and, of course, He provided it. But then I felt sure I was supposed to call, which I thought was absurd. I fought back and forth with the idea. And finally God just said, "are you going to fight with me on this or are you just going to call her?" I called. I hope I got said what He wanted Aly to hear. But then I could have said, blah blah blah and He would have spoken. May you both be blessed beyond measure today. May His healing power, love, peace and joy cover you and astound those around you. I cannot wait to hear all about it. We love desperately love you and for you today.
My heart, my mind, and my love are with the two of you today, but only today.
Brian,
I echo your prayer on my knees this morning. Thank you for posting your prayer and thoughts. And, Candy, I agree with you- what stood out to me about Brian’s post was also “Lord, whatever you would have us do for Alyson during this time, let us do so without hesitation.”
I pray that the community of believers will step up and let Jesus’ love touch Aly through our prayers, actions, and words of encouragement. I pray that Aly will continue to sense a community of faith surrounding her through the weeks and months to come. And, ultimately, may Jesus be glorified.
Blessings,
Our prayers are with you. We are calling on the great physician for complete healing on your behalf. May He work in a mighty way through the doctors and your incredible testimony of God's faithfulness. We love you guys. You will be continually in our thoughts today.
Love, Jamie and Kelly Witt
