Over the last few weeks KEEPERSKORNER has put up two differenct prayer request for our dear friends JIP. This morning we received an email from JIPs therapist saying how she believes the prayers going up for JIP have made a huge difference in how things are going. She is very appreciative of our Prayer Warriors through Save Our World Ministries and of the prayer circles around the globe where people have joined together in raising our voices and asking God to come to the aid of JIP in times when she needed it most.

At around 4:00 this morning, our toll free number rang and it was JIP on the other end of the line. I could hear that she was suffering greatly as her tears were making it difficult for her to speak or even breathe. JIP had only recently received a call that her sister–who has cancer–has very little time left on this earth. JIP called keepers because she was unable to reach her therapist at this painful time. Now, only a few moments ago, JIP called keepers again. She sounded even more drained and frightened than she did early this morning. In fact, JIP did not sound like herself at all which let keepers know how very bad she is feeling right now. However, JIP mentioned the possiblity of her sister getting better somehow so keepers know that JIP is following our five minute rule that states DON’T GIVE UP FIVE MINUTES BEFORE YOUR MIRACLE HAPPENS.

There is a theory on this earth that we are all one and united together regardless of age or distance or religious preferences or nationalities. Keepers fully believe this to be true. On some level our differences do not matter at all and our strength is in the unity we all share on some unseen level. For this reason, keepers feel great empathy for what JIP is having to endure right now and we are suffering along with her at this horrendously painful time. You see, JIP has become a part of keepers heart which means her system is as much keepers sister as our own blood sister. This is true of so many of the people that come through KK and reach keepers on levels that we never thought would be possible.

Since JIP and keepers live half a world away from each other, all keepers can do is turn to our Prayer Warriors and our cyber family, asking for ongoing prayers for both JIP and her sister while they are suffering so badly. Keepers are praying for JIP to feel understood and truly loved as things unfold for her in this situation. And for her sister keepers are praying for Divine Right Action. Our prayers will be virtually continual until such point that they are no longer needed for JIP and her sister.

Over the span of many years, keepers have dealt with the passing of two of our siblings. For us, it was a pain that defies description. Even when there is serious discourse in a family sibling often sepate from one another but the unique bond siblings share is always there and the possible loss of a person who grew up knowing us and seeing all that made us who we become is an incredibly unbearable thing to endure. So, keepers are feeling great empathy for JIP right now and we are doing our best to walk with her through the next few days or weeks. From half a world away, we fear keepers can only fall short in doing that but every time JIP picks up the phone and reaches out to keepers–we will be there for her without question.

Please, bow your heads in prayer one more time for our sister survivor JIP and her sister who is so ill. The more voices asking God to have mercy on both of them–the better. And keepers are talking to God about our five minute rule as we ask for this to be a situation where the miracle is but five minutes away.

peace and blessings,

keepers
