Update on Paula Bellow (Misty Laenger's mom)

Thank you for all of your prayers and support for my mom and my family! My mom's most recent tests showed that the cancer in her ovaries and abdomen/bladder area was completely gone! PRAISE GOD! Tests also showed that the polyps that had always been in her colon had dissappeared as well! This is a huge answer to our prayers and a great miraculous healing especially when the doctors said she didn't have much of a chance at survival even if she did choose the radical and harsh traditional treatments (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) - which she decided not to do and because of that decision, she looks great and feels good (for the most part).

But please continue to keep her in your prayers because she is still battling cancer in her breasts that had spread to her lungs as well as to the fluid in her lungs. Although the cancer is still in these areas, it seems as though it is not growing or spreading which is a miracle as well! The fact that she is still alive and has been fighting for the past few years is also a testament to God's power because the doctors had told her that she wouldn't live long since she has such an aggressive cancer.

She is in Phoenix right now but hopes to go home at the end of August if she can get set up at a clinic in Dallas. This is great news because it means she can be home in Lumberton at least every weekend with her husband and two youngest sons (7 & 12 years old). Things still need to be worked out and finalized but please pray that it will be a smooth transition, that she will be able to be transferred without any problems, and that the process won't worsen her condition.

God has given my mom more life here on this earth for which we will praise and thank Him. But my mom often reminds us that although death is a sad thing, it is not a bad thing. And that God IS able to save her but even if He doesn't - He IS still God and she will worship, praise, and obey Him with the life that He has blessed her with until she sees Him face to face. Knowing this, we can seek comfort and rejoice in the times of healings, as well as in the times when it is not apparent that God has yet healed her.

To God be the Glory,

Misty Bellow Laenger
