Strength in Our Numbers...

Strength in Our Numbers....ladies, I have

something to ask you.

First off, my faith is very strong and I remain

upbeat, but I also know that God takes pleasure

in hearing ALL of our prayers and not just

some.

So with that, can you take just a mere 15 seconds

to pray for my son by name, Levin Mills, as we

just found out that he has a brain tumor in a "very

bad place", but with prayer, this tumor will not

grow any bigger than it already is nor harm him.

He had fallen off a roof at work the other day and

broke his wrist in 5 places...they then did a full

head/body MRI and CAT because of the fall, hence, the

brain tumor was "accidentally" found.

Should have seen the faces of the staff.

And "found in time" I say, because if not for the fall,

it might have been discovered too late. I am so

thankful for the blessing in disguise!!

So ladies, as we have done for each others families,

please pray along with me that it will not grow

bigger.

With all my heart, I thank you in advance...

love,

Cindy

p.s. its an unusual tumor just behind the

nasal area, smack in the middle of his head

where it really should not be, and must not

grow any bigger.

Levin cried upon hearing today's diagnosis,

and yes I consoled him. still so young.

still my baby, no matter what age.

I told him I would not waiver

in strength.

Cindy, I am so sorry to hear this news, and I know this has come as a shock to you and Levin.

I'm so sorry that I didn't read the board before coming into the chat, asking all these questions that you had already posted on the board.

I too believe in strength in numbers, and a prayer will be said in my behalf for Levin Mills.

It's good that you can put this in God's hands and you have your faith.

Sending my love and prayers for you, Levin and your family.

Terry

I am adding my prayers to the strength of the other's prayers Cindy. Seems as if Someone stepped in to guide Levin to doctors that would discover this now. Many hugs and much love for you and your family.

Cindy I just popped in here for the first time in weeks and weeks and am so glad that I did. Levin will be in my daily thoughts and of course positive energy going out to the whole family. As a mother I can only imagine how this must feel. With all this power surrounding him I just know things will be okay. Hugs, Ruthie

Cindy! Somehow I missed this post but just now read it! Sending you this hug, along with TONS of prayers.

I know how hard it is to see a child suffer and not be able to do anything....but we ARE doing something..praying! And I too, am a FIRM believer in prayer...I've seen what it can do.

Know that we all are with you and will keep prayers coming. PLEASE let your son know that he has lots of "Mommies" that are on his side.

Love, Char

that you are doing on Levin's behalf.

Cindy

coincidental.

Char, you are great, thank you! Levin will

be surprised that "mommies and daddies"

all over the world really do care.

If you need prayer, ask anytime; I'll

be more than glad to be a "warrior".

love,

Cindy

Oh boy that is really challenging next to terrible. I have a little sanctuary area in my back yard where I will light a candle and say a prayer for him each day until he is healed. Why do bad things happen to good loving people like you? Just does not make any sense. Sending an army of angels... lots of hugs... a prayer every day... and positive thoughts constantly that the tumor will disappear. My hearts goes out to you and your family...

Aloha,

Leilani and William

Aloha,

Lei

Mahalo, Lei. I guess its because that

Someone knows better than we do, how much

we actually can go through, and with

help from one another.

Thank you so much for what you are doing

for my sweet son. He is 26, but still

my baby, lol.

love and aloha,

Cindy
