Kenet...

For those of you who have been keeping up with our lives here for awhile, you might remember Kenet...Miguel's young nephew who has cancer. He returned to the hospital this week as he was supposed to start another round of chemotherapy but cannot due to an infection. Miguel didn't have a lot of details for us today but it seems he's really quite sick. The doctors have not been able to break his fever and they've discovered another "growth" in his groin area. His little body is really being ravaged right now.

He has the best disposition and has been fighting this cancer with all he has. Cancer is obviously no respecter of persons and it's hard to see anyone battle with this insidious disease, no matter the type, but it's especially difficult to see a young child be forced to grow old so quickly because of the taxation the disease and the treatment place on his frame. Kenet should be out playing ball or complaining about having to do homework...not fighting for his life. God has really placed a burden on my heart for this special young man.

And so, I would ask that you carry this sweet young boy in to the Throne Room of the Lord and place him at His feet. You may not think your prayers mean much but I want to assure you they absolutely do. Kenet needs your hearts and your voices to stand in the gap for him right now. He needs your prayers and believe me, the family needs them as well. I want this family to know that our God is real, that He hears our petitions and that He has a plan for each one of us. So I am going to ask a special favor...if you will sincerely and faithfully lift this young man up in prayer, could you please let me know either through the comment area here or by my e-mail (curtis10061006@yahoo.com) so that I can copy those words of encouragment and pass them on to Miguel to give to Kenet and his mother? I believe God will use Kenet and his cancer to draw this family to Himself.

Thank you so much for your prayers. You will bless so many with your faithfulness in this petition, the least not being yourself as you spend a special time with the Lord.
