'Tis the Season for Miracles

You are receiving this email because you may have heard about Monica. 

Monica and I have been co-workers for last 12 years. She has been battling a form of breast cancer that has morphed into bone cancer--for 14 years. Four years ago, the cancer moved to her liver and brain (but the Coast Healing prayer team prayed for that one Sunday and it went away from both those areas!) She has been pretty healthy until now. The slow moving cancer is still in her bones and recently showed up in her liver again. New spots now appear on her lungs. 

Four years ago, I really felt God put it on my heart to show Monica His love for her. When I talked to her about this at that time, she said she had lost faith (Conservative Judaism) in God because she didn't see how a loving God could put her through this. She got teary eyed at that point and said "I want to live longer because I have so much love to give." She remains one of the most loving persons I have ever met. 

For these last four years, she has humored my God references and shown polite appreciation in knowing that so many others have been praying for her. She has never asked for prayer but always appreciated kind gestures. 

The Gist of What Happened:  

After going to the top doctor in the country on breast cancer research and hearing that the trial meds weren't working, she said she was ready for a miracle. She shocked me during a routine visit to her office at school this Wednesday by saying she wanted me to pray for her everyday, in person. She then continued by saying she wanted to meet every person who had prayed for her. She wants to attend the Miracle Conference in November. It was basically yes, yes, yes, yes, to everything I dreamed could happen but never thought would. Even the night before, I had pretty much said to my home group that just getting Monica to come to the conference would be a miracle.

Yet that very day I found myself praying "in the name of Jesus" with a hand on Monica's shoulder in a room right across from the headmaster's office. Not what I had imagined when I woke up that morning, or ever!

Two days later, she has welcomed every prayer and she is still in pain but open to letting me show love for her in the fullest way I know how, even if her personal beliefs differ. It was she who gave me a tissue to wipe away the tears of joy and shock!

Prayer Request: 

I now refer to this day as Holy Spirt Wednesday because a whole lot o' heaven poured into my work place. Honestly, the story is just a snippet of the unusually moving "coincidences" that happened at school that day. 

I prayed that the healing process would begin and that Monica would have a deep, tangible sense of how much God does, indeed, love her. Please pray that the process continue toward full and complete healing. She is in a fair amount of pain (ironically more due to a pinched sciatica nerve than the cancer). Please pray that her heart and thoughts are protected and that she remains open to the possibility of miracles. I would love for her and her family to have the courage to come to Coast, to feel safe, and to meet all the great people who have prayed for her over the years and to feel ridiculously loved. I pray for more HOPE in AMAZING miracles to come! 

With much excitement and awe in the unexpected ways God is moving, 

Susan Wu
