Hi Randi & Jeff we have you in our prayers and put you on the prayer list at our church. Wish we could help with things, but the miles between us stop me from the physcial labor but we will contine to pray day and night (and in between).
Randi! you are a beautiful person! I know that the Lord is on your side... I tlkd to him before i gave him back to you!:) You truly are a strong person, and you know that everything is going to turn out the way that its suppose too. You have a lot of prayers being sent to the God via voice, so know that you are in constant thought in someone's mind, and you never alone, no matter how volnerable you may feel now. I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEE YYYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!!!!!
Constant prayers and lots of love are sent to you from here in Dallas. One positive thing from all this is, there are many things you will learn during this difficult time to help you be a good doctor in the future. With our Lord and all who love you on your side, you will get better. Also, our love to your Mom and Dad.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE "Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always)" (I Thessalonians 5:16, AMP).
TODAY'S WORD How determined are you to enjoy each and every day? In today´s verse, notice how long we are supposed to be glad hearted. As long as people treat us right? As long as we feel okay? As long as the economy is up? No, it says, "Be glad hearted continually and always." That means we´re to be glad in the good times and in the tough times, when it´s sunny and when it´s raining. When those dark clouds are over your head and you feel like life is kind of depressing, kind of gloomy, always remember right above those dark clouds the sun is shining. You may not be able to see the sun in your life right now, but that doesn´t mean it’s not up there.
The good news is that those clouds are just temporary. The sun is going to shine in your life once again. In the meantime, keep your joy. Be glad hearted continually! Don´t let a few clouds sour your life. On the other side of every difficulty, the sun is shining! Make the decision to be glad always, and you´ll move forward in the victory He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, today I choose joy. I choose to make the most of every day. No matter what is happening around me, I choose to focus on your goodness so that I can move forward in the blessing you have for me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.
Diane Metoyer sent this to me, I thought you all would enjoy. Love You D-Mom
Randi, Our prayers are with you always. We know you are a very strong person and will beat this. You are always in our thoughts. God bless you Love Marcy & Howard
Hi Randi- Our thoughts are with you and Geoff and the boys. One of my Dad's dearest friends was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago and he is doing great. We know you are a very strong person and we have faith that you will beat this thing. With love, Katie and Andrew Martinez
Randi, You are a very strong woman and I know that you are strong enough to get through this. We are here for you, Geoff and the boys, always. You are in our prayers and in our thoughts each and everyday. God Bless You! Love, Auntie Mona, Alicia and Rey
Hi Randi, Thinking about you. Let me know just as soon as I can come visit. If you and your family need anything, just let me know. Who is your oncologist. My email is albsunset@yahoo.com and my phone # is 401-2945. Love, Renee
Still sending you lots of love and prayers from Tucson. I laughed at my posting yesterday because I don't even know how to spell my brother's name (aagghh). Hugs and Kisses to you, Geoff, and the boys.
my wife is the greatest thing that happened to me. i am honored that God would allow me to take care of her. but i know i cant do it on my own and thats why i have such a huge family. i am forever in debt to all that have been praying for her. please rest assure that God has placed comfort on her heart as well as mine that she is being prepared for a great ministry. she will beat this. Jesus said so. we love you all and cant wait to come home.
Randi, Geoff and boys, I've been praying since I heard. Know that you are loved & your lives are a testamony! Represent!
"But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!" Isaiah 54:17 NLT In His love, Auntie Paula
Hi Randi, You have been blessed with a very large and loving family and with God on your side you can only win this battle! If I can do anything from Dallas let me know, I will keep you and the guys in my prayers, Love you always, Aunt Marsha, Michelle and AJ
With Gods help we will do mighty things. Try not to look at the size of the problem but the size of your God. When there are great things to be done, you have a great God who will do them thru you. God Bless you Iam praying for you to have confort, courage and most of all Faith.
Geoff told us last night that many persons have shaved their heads in your honor. I will wear in your honor a pink ribbon over my heart until the day you beat this.
Just wanted you to know that we are praying for you, and that we send our love to you. Just remember that the Lord is bigger than anything or anyone and by his stripes you are healed. Stand on God's word and know that he is healing you as each minute passes. Stay positive and focus on his amazing love. I will stay in prayer for you and for your family. God bless you always. Love, Diane and Savage
Hi Randi, Were thinking of you and saying our prayers everyday. Were are sending you positive thoughts and energy. Your love and strength in the Lord will give you what it is you need to get through this difficult time. Hugs and kisses, Mona & Randy
Stay tough Randi. Focus on the positive and use this focus to help the medecine seek and destroy those cancer cells. You've got it in you. You can do this. LOTS of Love and Prayers to you from Tucson.
So week one has gone by, this is my third night home with the boys and away from my wife and I have time to reflect on the situation. After the initial shock of finding out MY WIFE had leukemia I had an intimate moment with God. He spoke to me outside in the wind when I was alone. He told me to rest assure that she was going to be ok. After I had prayed, I walked inside and Randi asked how I was doing. I told her I was ok and new everything would be fine. She said she had it laid upon her heart as well. So Psalms 23 came flying into my mind. I always thought that it was way over used as a bumper sticker scripture till I really prayed over it. The part that has stuck with me is “even as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and staff comforts me.” See we are in a valley of death right now but God doesn’t say we will stay there, or dwell there. We are going to go through the valley. Jesus is with us, he will protect us and he has already comforted us. So as the week goes by I am continually amazed about how God has used so many people to love on us like Jesus. From family, to friends, to strangers that we don’t know, all have offered prayers and their help in ways I couldn’t imagine. I will continue to be thankful for everyone in our lives.
A great friend and co-worker asked if I needed anything from my office and I replied yes, my cross and family picture. She delivered the items to me the very next day. Now, as she was handing them to me, she handed me a roll of toilet paper. I thanked her and went on my way back to the room thinking this lady is NUTS! Well I put it up on the shelf with everything else. Randi and I laughed about it. Really, this is a nice hospital. We even have free valet parking during the week. C’mon who needs toilet paper in a hospital? Well a couple of nights pass and the census is low on the unit. All the techs have been moved to other units and it’s just the nurses. So 11:30 comes rollin’ around and guess who has to pee again? Ok not me Randi. She tells me that last time she went she used all the toilet paper and there was none left. Now, the quick thinker that I am, I respond with “crazy Renee” and I get the toilet paper down and she’s off to the bathroom. What I learned from this crazy story is GOD always gives you what you need. See to many times we are looking for what we want and not for what we need. We tend to look at the bigger picture of life and forget all the colors it takes to make it. So yes I want an instant cure in the big picture but that night is was the toilet paper that we needed. Renee I thank you for listening and being obedient to God. And yes thank you for the toilet paper.
I miss her a lot and can’t sleep. It’s funny how we hate it when the other one snores and complain about it, but when it comes down to this, I can’t sleep with out it. Her boys have been brave young men and have stepped it up for their mom. Gavin is doing the laundry, Ryan is doing the dishes, Eric is helping with the cooking, and I don’t know what I am doing. They love and miss their mom so much. They pray more often and with a deeper and sincere heart that she would be proud. Ryan wants to only drink Pepsi because that’s what mom likes. Gavin set the table for her on accident two nights ago. And Eric keeps making crafts for her. They do get to see her on Skype (a video thing on the comp). She is missing them a bunch too. She wishes so much that she could be home with them to talk about their day at school and what not.
On Saturday the 15th I performed my first wedding ceremony. Now when we found out what was going on with Randi she told me that I still had to do the wedding. And like a good husband I obeyed. I had been rehearsing the ceremony over and over again in my head and thought I had it down. So the bride comes down the isle and all I could think about was my wedding day. And as I asked them to repeat after me, the words hit the heart. I felt so honored that God would allow me to take care of and love his daughter. With all that I have and all that I am I will honor Randi in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. This was the sickness part that we are living in, the worst part but I know that I still get to love and cherish her for all the days of her life. She is my wife, my best friend, the mother of my kids, she is a loving aunt, an awesome sister and sister-in-law, and she is a great daughter, and most of all, she has taught me to love Christ. I love her so much. I will post more later but for now I guess I will try and sleep. Roo Bear, I love you.
Randi, Just a few lines to say hello and hope that you are having another good day like yesterday. It's a matter of time before you hear those precious words, "It's time to go home now, you are well". What a day of celebration that will be for Geoff, the boys, your family, and all those that became part of your life since you took ill. Much love sent your way. Mom-D
Hi Randy. Hope you are doing well. May God Bless, you as well as your wonderful husband Geoff and your boys through this time. You are a strong, beautiful woman. Always keep God in your life and you will make it through anything.
Randi, Geoff & boys~ Happy Birthday, again, Randi. :) Jacque and I had a wonderful visit Sunday nite with Randi (Deb & Hank, too). We were blessed to be able to spend some quality time together. I am encouraged & blessed by your perseverance, faith and trust in the Lord. Keep it up! Remember that when you are in the shadow of something, you're not IN it (Ref Psalm 32). Our Lord & Savior is going to use this for His glory & our good (Rom 8:28-29). You continue to be in our prayers and thoughts daily. We love you sooooo much! Auntie Paula & Jacque~
I hope you get to read these postings because just reading over them, they are inspiring. It's easy to see that you are very loved. You are such a strong person, you will get through this. You have such a great support system. I was touched reading all of the comments.

I heard the good news Randi and you are truly being blessed, I know this is the hardest journey you have ever had and it probably seems like you'll never see the end, but remember you are the light at the end. You are such a hero to your boys, I really enjoyed seeing them for their visit here, they are works of art! Eric says I must be somebody's grandma and Ryan he's still a little Geoff, you keep up the great work. Love you sweetie and if you need anything at all that I can do from here, hollar, ok. Aunt Marsha
Randy and Geoff, We have been following your progress on this page. Thanks to Ali for all her hard work. Remember Randy, God doesn’t give you more then you can handle. I think he first tested your strength by putting you into the Baca family. Figuring, that if you could put up with us all these years that you could handle anything. You two stay strong and keep the faith. Frank & Susan
