“He reached down from on high and took hold of me, He drew me out of deep water.” Psalms 18:16
Here is my deep water: I have two pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase) with abnormally high numbers. I had an appointment today with a GI Specialist to investigate. For this pancreas-related issue, I will have more blood work, an ultrasound and a future endoscopy in June. If the carcinoid has spread to my pancreas then the current treatment which I am receiving will deal with this new activity. If the pancreatic activity is a different type of cancer, then another treatment will have to be considered. Please pray for God’s best.
As a response to treatment I have a very low platelet count. Please pray for:
- Please pray for higher platelet production.
- Praise: Besides these three levels, the rest of my blood work has come back within the normal ranges.
- Prayer date: June 8, 9, and 10thare the dates of my next scheduled “Lutathera” treatment. Please pray for God’s timing and best for me.
There are some who have shared that they have prayed through the Scriptures that I shared a few weeks ago. Thank you for sending to me some of the Scriptures the Lord put on your heart for me. These gifts were like treasured presents under a Christmas tree that I get to open and reflect over for a number of days. Some have become part of my memory verse collection. Here are a few more new verses for those who would enjoy praying these verses for me:
- Daniel 10:12, Isaiah 53:4-5, Zephaniah 3:17, Philippians 4:13 (Amplified version), Psalm 18:1-3.
- Also, II Corinthians 6:18, Jeremiah 17:14, Philippians 4:4-9, 1 Timothy 6:6, Genesis 15:1, Psalm 94:18, II Kings 19:14.
Grace and Peace,
Debbie (and Patrick, too)

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

Debbie, thanks for this update. I know it isn’t the news you, Patrick and any of us wanted to hear but God is the God of deep waters. He has proven Himself to you in the past and He will continue to prove Himself to you over again. I will look up the scriptures you gave us and will pray through them with you. God’s Word is so uplifting and encouraging. These updates really do help us know how to pray specifically for you. Re:our previous conversation – just let us know when and if y’all would like to get together sometime. We certainly would come to your house. It would be so wonderful to see you and Patrick.
Love you both,
