Doctors say John is a walking miracle. Every breath is grace from God. We believe every moment for a breakthrough. Late last night we walked outside and stood watching the lighting in the distance. We made our request known to God. We ask that God would rescue John from the jaws of cancer in Jesus name. We are in prayer—praise—worship—-warfare and that starts the day. We put on the whole armor of God and we are standing therefore believing that by His strips we were healed. After John goes to sleep at night I continue quietly reading the Word of God into him. We stand on the Promises of God.
He suffers greatly with bone pain in his hip and left leg.  John’s word association has been hindered by the tumors in the brain making it very difficult to communicate.
But he gets up every day with a smile and hope –even if I have to assist him in getting dressed.
 The Dr. said this past Monday with as much mastasit cancer in his body he looks remarkable, his skin color is good and his eyes sparkle. But the Dr. said people don’t live with this level cancer. Oh well, that’s my John and we Praise God.
He wants me with him every moment so I just lay beside him and hold his hand. When he is awake he tells me he loves me. This is a new place for us. We have helped so many people who have gone through times like this. I hear myself say “now what would you tell some else that’s going through this” and I try to take my on advise.�
We did go to Birmingham and it was a hard trip for John. But we got him there. He got to see people we have not seen in years. Every one prayed for him. And my cousin Chris Hodges’s church is really something to see. We got to see our kinfolks. We traveled by an RV that a friend of our daughters let us borrow– what a gift! John could lie down or stand up when he needed.�
I want to tell all of you that have shown John & I such great kindness. From visits—meals—prayer—sitting in John’s bedroom and singing Praise & Worship—mowing—weed eating—painting our living room—making benches –bring out the trash cans (6 large ones)—cleaning cabins—answering phones—bringing fiancés—sending e-mails—cards—letters—working in the flower beds—watering plants—sitting with us……………..
People have come from the North—South—East—and West to show us love—We Thank You - my words are not enough.  Please continue to pray for us — we are in much need of your intercession!!  Even today, I steped off of a tractor (to keep John from getting on it) and the tendion behind my right knee popped and I am in a lot of pain and it is very hard for me to help John.  I have also come down with a very bad cold/sinus thing that is throwing me for a loop.  I know we are under attack and I am asking for your prayer support like never before.  Stand With Us and cover Prayer Lake and all those here, we need God’s strength, protection, GRACE and healing!!
IN THE PALM OF GOD’S HAND
Servants, Joy & John Mounger
