Asking For Your Prayers
Hey this is James, Joel's brother, just asking you to pray.
Cora is beginning her first round of chemotherapy right now, and we just wanted to remind you to pray especially hard at this time because the first dose of this treatment is really critical, with a lot of risks involved. Her treatments will last for the next 78 hours, so please remember to pray for her especially in these next few days.
This is a really difficult time for us all, but it means so much to know that you are lifting us up before our Heavenly Father all over the world. Please continue to ask Him for a miracle.

Hi,
I read your story by request from a friend - know that people in Minnesota and North Dakota are praying for you, your husband and most importantly, your baby girl. The power of prayer is unimaginable. Keep your head up and know that many loved ones, friends, and family's thoughts are with you and your family during this tough challenge.
I'm praying for you and your family, especially for sweet little Cora.
I am praying, lifting your family up and thinking about you always. I am passing this on to churches and friends, and relatives to tell others to pray too. Miracles do happen!
I read Loren and Anne's blog-We're praying for your family. You're so blessed to have such a sweet little girl, I know God will take care of her.

Peace be with you,

I know God is holding Cora tighter right now than EVER! He is holding you too! We are praying harder than ever! The miracle worker is on YOUR side! We love you!
I believe in the Father Almighty. I believe that his capabilities are more than we can comprehend. I believe that He is holding you and your family so closely. Beautiful Cora.. so innocent, be strong and fight hard. To Jes and Joel, God is holding you in the palm of his hand.
I found your blog through Angie Smith's blog "Bring the Rain". I am so so sorry that you have to travel this road...thankfully, as believers in Jesus Christ, we know that we do not ever travel alone. Praise God for that! I am a cancer survivor myself and I know first hand what it is like to be on the receiving end of prayer...it is so humbling and powerful...Our God is an awesome God, the great physician, the author of everything. He is capable of healing and miracles! I will be lifting your precious Cora up to our Heavenly Father and pray for peace and healing.
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all of their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:17-18

Thank you for letting us see you today, pray and cry. It is SO EVIDENT how the Lord is surronding you. IN such a dark, heavy place, you two shined with His light. Remember that! We love you and are praying with all we have, you are amazing parents~
Abbe & Adam
Your girl is beautiful! I will be keeping you in my prayers. Cling tight to your Savior during this difficult time. He will get through this valley in your life.
No one can ever imagine something like this could happen to them, and when it does God holds our hand. He carries us, only one set of footprints in the sand. Many people will ask you HOW you made it through, and it is my understanding that you will say with grace, humility, and GOD. I pray that one day you will be able to say that while holding your daughters hand when she asks "mom and dad, tell me about the time when I was sick." PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING for you and your sweet baby!
Praying for you and your family and passing your story on so others can do the same! We serve an awesome and powerful God!! (friends of the Boccia's)
We are also praying out here in Seattle for you and precious Cora. Our hearts are with you.

Since coming to your site through Angie's (Bring the Rain), and reading about sweet Cora, I cannot stop thinking about her tonite. Each time she comes into my mind I have prayed for her and your family. My daughter is about the same age and it breaks my heart to think of how scared you must be and how worried you are for your baby. I don't comment on blogs often, but I felt compelled to let you know I've been praying, and will continue to do so.
Jess, Joel and Cora...
May the Lord walk beside you to comfort you.
May the Lord walk above you to watch over you.
May the Lord walk behind you to keep you safe.
May the Lord walk before you to show you the way.
You and your families are all in our prayers.
Brad and Julie
In prayer. God Bless
