A Praise and a Prayer
Valerie found out from the Cancer Center at Cedars that she will be completely under anesthetic during her liver biopsy. She is very relieved since her first biopsy was very painful. Praise the Lord for this!
The prayer requests for today:
- Valerie can have the new biopsy this week. The oncologist ordered it for Monday the 21st and we would like that test done ASAP so there can be any alterations, if necessary, for her Tuesday 22nd chemotherapy treatment. Also, the hospital "Tumor Board" (including oncologists, radiologist, surgeons, pathologists, liver specialists...) meets on Tuesdays so perhaps they can review Val's biopsy before treatment.
- Pray that the chemo is obliterating the tumors
- Pray for the McCrea family as a whole. There are lots of changes in the McCrea household and that is hard on the family.
Peace, cohesiveness, patience, love, compassion, fun, rest...
We are all so thankful for you all who read this update and pray for and minister to the McCrea family.

Dear Val; it was so nice to see you today, you look great! Hang in there, my friend, you are gonna get through this.. I just know it in my heart! God will make a way, and although it's frustrating right now and scary, He has a plan for you in all this. He's just working out the logistics! Trust in Him, He loves you so much! Of course I have to send a song along, I should just make you a CD probably of all these great songs, but the lyrics are so great on their own as well, this one is by Andrea Crouch, and it's just so beautiful and true. It's been close to my heart lots of times when I have felt alone or scared. God is all around you, and He's never sleeping, He's always at work! Here goes..
You know all my words before I speak.
You see where I stand and what I seek.
You know if I'm laughing, or if I'm crying.
Lord you're never sleeping.
There's no place I can hide from Your love.
I can only survive through Your love.
Show me some place to go, a place I don't know,
To cover my soul.
On the wings of the dawn, I might fly
To the ends of the earth, beyond the sky
I can go anywhere, but you'll always be there
Wherever I go.
You know where I sit and where I stand
Each moment I live, I'm in Your hands
I can't get away from Your sweet spirit,
Lord you're never sleeping.
Long before I was born, Your eyes could see me
You know all my days before they ever reached me
So come what may, I know you'll be there
Lord you're never sleeping
I’m surrounded, I’m surrounded
Please know that I'm there for you for anything you might need, a shoulder to cry on, a friend to pray with, or just to go have lunch and a pedicure while the kids are in school to get your mind off of all the medical stuff for a while. See ya tomorrow, hope you can make it to moms in touch!
Love, Osil

Val!
I loved seeing you at school this afternoon! I am also happy to know that you are going to be sound asleep for the next biopsy...I know you were worried when we spoke today! One more answered prayer!
You and your family are in our prayers all the time. My Aunt in Connecticut, who is a devout Catholic, told me over the weekend that she is saying the Rosary in your name everyday!
And as Osil said...we will meet for nails...for walks...for prayers...anything you need...anytime.
For now...we continue our prayers that your family finds peace...that you remain strong and positive...that as we speak, those tumors are shrinking and disappearing...and that you feel all the love and support that surrounds you all. God is working every minute of every day with you. Remember...He can live anywhere in the universe...and He chose your heart. God bless you always.
Love,
Kerry Randall
Dear Val, I will pray hard for you during your biospy! I will pray hard for Chris, and the boys and for all your family watching so close over you. I love you and will stay strong in my prayers for you! Love VAL P
