Hello everyone, this is Jill again, the official updater of the blog for now! :)
Yes, Ramona was at beyond on Sunday! She loved being there and was still talking about it yesterday (Monday)! We had a place for her to lay down and just soak up the Lord and she sure did!

I love to listen as she speaks out her thoughts to the Lord, even when she is so tired! How beautiful to hear her pray for an acceleration of her healing and then ask for more of Jesus! The presence of God is so real in her room. Nurses have come and even said that it is very peaceful... we know God is at work! The Holy Spirit is there... Ramona even said so as she knew and acknowledged when He walked in the room!! :) Beautiful....
The joy of the Lord is so evident as Earl's sister said, I don't think the nurses are used to so much laughter on a palliative care unit! But we have joy!! We do not fear because we know that God is present and real and loves Ramona so very much! He is her healer...

God is showing us that He is indeed faithful to us and to Ramona! Continue to pray that God would release heaven to her, that His kingdom would come and His will would be done NOW as it is in heaven! In His presence there is fullness and healing... we believe and continue to contend for the miraculous to be released!
Pray for rest, for everyone! What little rest is actually had, pray it is refreshing! Thank you to everyone who is rallying around and praying! It means so much to Earl, Ramona and their families! Words cannot express their gratitude!

As Ramona said today, "this cancer has to go" - let it be done Lord in Jesus Name!

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Hope these words are encouraging!!

Ramona and Earl, I continue to lift you and your families up in prayer - knowing how tired you must all be. Praying for continued strength in this battle, for continued hope and peace, and always for healing. Nothing is impossible for God.
"Do not be afraid any longer, only believe"...
"Talitha kum! (Little girl, I say to you, get up!) Mk.5:36, 41
With a word, Jesus can restore life to the dead and healing to the sick. Continuing to pray that Jesus will answer our prayer for Ramona to live out a long life and fulfill her dreams here on earth. Lord Jesus, we believe in your awesome power and have no doubt that it is YOU who heals and brings life. Thank-you for the peace you have given. Thank you for your love for each one of us. Help us to know you more...may you be glorified more and more.

AMEN TO THAT!!!!
You don't know how much our hearts long to be beside you right now! We have been blown away by the beautiful testimonies coming to us via friends and family of what God is doing/how He is showing Himself so real in that place! It is so incredibly encouraging to hear... and I mean that literally... your own faith and love for Jesus and the beauty of His presence with you in this incredibly difficult situation GIVES COURAGE to the rest of us who love and live for Him. I have felt so drawn to worship Jesus whenever I think of you and pray for you.
