My sweet mom, Mayre Stewart, was diagnosed with colon cancer on Friday. She had surgery to remove the cancer and is now recovering in the hospital. She is loved (and needed) by many people. My mother has always been a faithful prayer warrior. She always has a running prayer list and often prays for people she has never met, but only knows by name. Right now she needs YOU...to pray and pray. Please pray for her complete healing and strength. Please pray for my Dad and my little brother Ben, who is still living at home. Please pray for my siblings, that we can serve her most effectively.
My mom never stops going and doing things for other people. She is a truly unique and creative soul. I have met many people, but there is nobody who is anything like my mother. People are always calling and asking her to do things, lots of things. She delights in using her many gifts to bless others on a daily basis. She knows how to do almost everything. She has to learn to do something that she hasn't had to do before. She has to slow down and get better for a while, and let others serve her, just for now. We miss you mom!!! We are oh so ready for you to get back to painting theater sets, teaching Bible classes, making meals that rival Paula Deen, being a fabulous art teacher, mentoring younger women, and using your God given creativity to glorify Him!
Will you pray for my mother?

Oh Amber, I am so sorry to hear this. Please know that Chris, Torie, and I are praying for Mayre. We love your family and will help in any way we can.
We will lift her up at church. I have a grandmother and aunt who have beaten breast cancer, so I understand. You will be in our prayers.

Amber...I will certainly be praying for complete and total recovery and healing for your mom. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers, and please send my love to your mom! Maybe once she is feeling better we should plan a reunion singing time! I have missed the fun we used to have singing together, and of course laughing all the way! :) We need to get together again!
Love you all...let me know if you need anything!

Amber,
I'm so sorry to hear this, but loved reading the testimony of your mom's influence. I pray that she would grow closer to Jesus as a result of this trial and that she would be even more equipped to serve Him because of it. AFterall, all of our trials are for the purpose of comforting others. I pray that He will restore her to complete health for His glory and your joy. Amen.
