please pray!

please join us in prayer for one of my dear friends Monique, her husband Clay and their seven week old baby girl, Hazel. Monique was my roommate at Baylor and her husband, Clay just found out soooo suddenly that he has crazy, serious cancer!!! So scary. (it's a 6inx1in mass in his abdomen. They think it's large cell lymphoma)  They're both from Ft. Worth but just had their 1st appointment at MD Anderson in Houston last week to do a billion tests and hopefully get started with chemo next week. Clay is such a wonderful man, just started a new job at a church in Ft. Worth and was planning to finish seminary soon. He has always been super healthy/fit (i think he's done p90x like three times) this is just so crazy. He also hasn't had really any side affects which makes it even weirder. My heart breaks for them.

They are posting many more details on their website here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/claywooten

Please please pray for them! Here's what they've asked us to pray for specifically:

-ultimate healing for clay
-clay and his chemo treatment, that he would feel minimal side effects
-wisdom and guidance for the doctors to treat this cancer well
-rest for clay and i, and clay's parents, whatever that looks like
-clay, hazel and i that we cling to His truths specifically his mercies being new every morning

Thanks!!!
