Constant Prayer

"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you."
Psalm 39:7

Dear Lord, please have mercy on Robynn and keep her surrounded in your care. Please replace her pain and suffering with comfort and peace.

Her tummy continues to increase in size and cause great discomfort. Her blood levels don't indicate that blood is draining into her tummy like before. Instead, it seems likely that the tumors are growing at a rapid rate.

Back down soldiers...
Pray On!

Oh, Robynn! How you are able to endure so much and stay so positive is awe-inspiring! You remind us all how precious life is and how we each have a choice in how we live it. Be strong, let the love and support around you hold you up, and continue to fight as hard as you can.

Dear Robynn, I'm back down on my knees praying like heck and asking our Dear Lord to give you comfort. I'm sitting here writing this and crying because I just want you to have peace. You have endured so much suffering. You have showed me that you are a true warrior. You are so amazing!!
By the way I went out and bought the book "Twilight". I haven't started it yet but hoping to soon.
Feel the prayers & hugs I'm sending out to you, Brian, Brady, Hailey, Shelley and all the family.
Love,

Wow Robynn - such beautiful messages today and so many saying basically the same thing ~ beautiful girl inside and out and a true inspiration to us all. How true and so easy to just feel the love coming through the computer screen!

For tonight I will pray for peace and comfort for you, for tomorrow morning I will pray that the healing took place during a peaceful night of sleep and that you awake to a better day tomorrow!

With much love and compassion for all of you ~

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1Peter 5:14

He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20

Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue, be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Psalm 31:2


Hey there ~ so I was in a training class all day and was not able to check the blog at all. Today truly confirmed how addicted I am to your progress! : ) I missed not hearing your songs too!

I am so sorry to hear that you are in pain and discomfort. You have all been such incredible troopers and warriors through all of this. I know that you may be feeling like you can not endure much more, but remember, it’s one day at a time. Concentrate on breathing, resting, and asking our Lord and his Holy Spirit to do the rest. We will also be asking the same. Don’t know if you’ve had an opportunity to check email; but I sent a prayer the other day. I think it’s worth repeating now.

We praise You, Jesus. We exalt and thank You that You are our Healer. Thank You for dying for us on the cross, for bearing the consequences of our sin in Your body. You are greater than anything we face or suffer, and we thank You that in Your name we can find healing. Your power is unlimited. We know that if You heal Robynn, She will be healed completely. Thank You that You will rise up with healing for those who fear Your name (Malachi 4:2). Be merciful to Robynn, O God, be merciful to her! For her soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings she will make her refuge, until these calamities have passed by. (Psalm 57:1) We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, By the Power of his blood, in the authority of His word, given to us as Christians. Amen



Come Holy Spirit and fill Robynn and Brian’s home right now. St. Michael, St. Raphael, and all the Holy Archangels, come and fight this battle for Robynn and Brian. We ask the help of all the Holy Angels, Holy Dominations, Holy Powers, Holy Thrones, Holy Principalities, be Roynn’s shield of Defense against this illness. Fill all the empty spaces within her with your peace, love, healing and Joy! In Jesus name. Amen.

Great are the works of the Lord; Psalm 111:2

Sweet, sweet dreams Robynn. Brian, be as ease, as the Lord’s toughest army of angels are standing guard over your beautiful wife and home tonight. Be at peace and may there be abundant JOY in the morning!!! Love you all. Sleep tight.

Hello Robynn

This is Jamie Campos, Stephanie's older sister from your past...i knew Jenni and of course Robyyn thru my sister. I have these pictures in my mind of you when you were a little girl smiling and surrounded by friends with perfectly hairsprayed hair and makeup :)

I remember when my sister and I would talk about how similiar our family's situations were back when we were in school and how we too were very close no matter what was going on around us. Knowing that, it's no surprise that your family would surround you with undying love, fighting for every moment, never leaving you.

It's the joyous times as well as the almost unbearable challenges you face that have made this blog more than just a daily check up on a woman that I once knew in school. Its a testament to the power of family and faith in God. Every day there is proof of it in your lives.

Please know, our entire family sends to you our love. You are on our minds every day miss roy-bean and we pray for you to be pain free so that amazing smile of yours returns to brighten up the room you grace with your presence.

Dear Robynn,
The Lord never fails us. He has not failed you yet and He never will. Neither will He forsake you. He said that if we ask we shall receive. We are all asking Him to let a healing come over your body. We are asking for comfort to you, and that He will calm the tumors like He can calm the sea. Be not dismayed. God will take care of you, everyday, and all the way. Don't quit fighting. He does indeed have a plan for you. I am praying for you all day and sending strong prayers up so that miracles can come down. Thank you Lord for allowing Robynn to inspire us all.
I love you girl.

Robynn,

I am at a loss of words at the moment. It is so hard to hear that you are so uncomfortable. I just wanted you to know that I am here. 3AM here I sit looking at your pictures, listening to your songs, praying for and loving you. No fancy words, just the truth- you are not alone, we are here.

Hi, dear Robynn,

We are so praying for you and asking God to ease your suffering and let you enjoy your reunion with your children. May he give you comfort and allow you to gain strength in the circle of love that surrounds you. You are such an inspiration. There isn't a day you are not in our thoughts! Thinking of you with love and encouragement, Michelle and Katie Rinehart

Robynn- you are like no one I have ever met. Your strength and endurance never end, and your faith is an inspiration to those who never had the pleasure of meeting you.
Whenever I hear someone say "OK, break it down!" I think of you and your amazing family!
Our prayers are for comfort and total healing. On the Prayer Front, we aren't giving into this beast just as you're not giving in. Know that the full force of 'arrow prayers' is at your back.
Love, Barb

Robynn, Brian and Shelly,

Its difficult at times to understand God's plan for us, but undoubtedly, part of the plan is for your family to demonstrate to the world the power of faith, constancy and prayer. You have not only touched lives, but transformed them, by bringing individuals (myself included)closer to God. If that was the only success each of you has ever had, I would consider that a life completed. But you have all done so much more in addition!

Our continued prayers for not only comfort, but of healing of the bodies and hearts of all of all of your family... Uncle Julian included!

Very Truly,
Friends of Friends in Bakersfield

Hi Robynn,

This is Jeff, Mandy's boyfriend. We met briefly at the poker tourny.

I wanted to reach out and let you know your in my thoughts and prayers. Your an inspiration to me. The ability to touch someone who met you for only a minute says so much about you and that is something truly special. Your family is so lucky to be a part of you.

From Jonah's camp, what a wonderful life Jonah now lives, and would we deprive anyone of that? YET, Heavenly Father, with eternity as our future, may it please You to delay Robynn's homegoing and meeting Jonah so that she might, herself, get to hold her grandchildren and tell them of her Great Healer. Unless You say no, I continue to pray for YES! Thank You for this amazing woman and her family from whom we all continue to learn about LIVING in dependence on YOU.

Hi Robynn,

You don’t know me personally but I thought it was important to write you and remind you of how many of us there are that care about you deeply. Please take some comfort that beyond your loving family and friends exist an innumerable group of well wishers. We are an invisible and largely silent army. But know we are there. Very much so. We are friends of friends, like me. We too are those without any immediate personal connection. Yet, we, from a distance, like those whom you touch more immediately, are all connected in your igniting shared inspiration. Your willingness to open and share your fight with the world allows us all to observe and absorb the example of your courage and grace as you wage battle. When moments seem most trying, draw upon us, we the countless in your corner. Take from us, even in some small measure, the strength and courage, in amplitudes, you have endowed. Even amidst the most difficult of circumstances, to so many, you bring so much good. Keep up the good fight. Know that you are in many of our thoughts and that we look forward to soon no longer sharing in your fight but rather your triumph.

Hey girl,
So glad to hear you are home with your family. I am sure Brady and Hailey were missing mommy and daddy just as much as mom and dad were missing them. Like all the other bloggers, I sure wish you were pain free right now. I just hate to read about all of the discomfort you are experiencing. Hopefully, the love and support from your family & friends brings you some strength and comfort. We all love you!
Thinking of you costantly!

Dear Robynn,
You are in my thoughts and prayers each day. I think of you and pray for you so many times throughout the day. Your faith and strength is such an inspiration to me. All of these comments are testifying to how your family has affected us all in such an amazing way. Your struggle has drawn me closer to our Lord and made me realize how very close He is to all of us each moment. We are here for you and will continue to be. I know the Lord is your comfort and I pray His presence is very evident each moment for you and your family. With much love and prayers sent your way. Nancy (Jonah's Nana)
