This is an ongoing prayer request that some of you know of already --
for those of you who don't, my friends Bernie and Edith used to live around the corner from me and ran the Young Life group at my highschool. They acted as spiritual mentors to me and opened their home to myself and my friends. About 4 years ago they moved to Alberta and in 2007 Bernie was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Initially the treatment was considered successful and there was no trace of cancer left, but in January 2008 the MRI showed a regrowth of the tumor and in September they found out that it is spreading aggressively.
Right now Bernie is in Germany receiving cutting-edge treatment (with most expenses paid ...they give thanks to God for that) but it is very difficult for them especially as Edith is a teacher in Alberta and can't be with her husband during this time.
Please pray for healing, comfort and peace for the both of them...
This is a super long post but here are Edith's own words:
"Could you join me in praying for Bernie that the swelling decreases and that God surround him and take care of him for these next few days and weeks. Psalm 139:1 and on "O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. . . ."
He is a loving God and we put our trust in Him alone."
