Zach sent us this e-mail. He is been a great encouragement and help in homegroup leading us in worship. Could you please pray for him? Thanks

Hey guys,
I just want you guys to lift up my parents. I've kinda mentioned a some of it to some of you guys. My heart kinda aches for them right now.
My mom is going thru chemotherapy now for cancer. A month of that, and then she has radiation. It really is kinda hard to see my mom going thru all this, and this weekend it kinda became more real to me. The thought of my mom losing her hair as a result of radiation is
very sad too. And she's got a LOT of debt, and I'm praying about how to help her with that. It will probably involve selling her primary vehicle and assuming her debt until she can pay it off. Oh, and
cancer is expensive too.
My Dad is going thru a lot too. While it was exciting to attend my dad's college graduation ceremony and cheer for him, it was hard to watch him as he deals with my step-mom divorcing him (which is in some ways a good thing for my dad sadly, without getting into it she is NOT a good person). I can see the hurt on his face, more than he wants to talk about. He also needs to get a job - he's looking for one in project management.
It was good to spend time with them this weekend. It seems like they are trying to make lemonade with lemons right now so to speak - my Dad is remodeling the house, and we helped him with the wood floor. He's clinging to Jesus. My mom is helping my sister with wedding plans. But it just seems that satan is messing with them right now and it makes me mad. My mom's truck got towed illegally this weekend too - just one thing after another.
Just pray for them.
Zach
