Joey + Rory Feek Call On Fans to Join Them for a Prayer Vigil
Joey + Roey Feek are calling fans to keep vigil with them as they pray for Joey Feek. Due to the fact that Joey's Stage IV cervical cancer has spread, the Feeks have decided to stop chemotherapy and all treatments. They are now back home. The couple have set a time and date for fans and friends to join them in prayer on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 8PM CST.
"You can call it a prayer vigil, or a moment of silence, or what it actually is... a husband asking for help for the woman he loves," Rory writes. "But please, one thing I ask... don't just pray that Joey is healed. Yes, pray for a miracle. But also pray for peace in her heart, and ours, if God chooses not to let this cup pass from her sweet lips.
"His will, not ours."
"In most emails, comments and conversations, everyone asks the same question to us ... 'what can we do to help?' They sincerely want to do something. Anything," Rory Feek explains. "There is something you can do ... You can pray. You can pray my wife's prayer with us.
"You can call it a prayer vigil, or a moment of silence, or what it actually is ... a husband asking for help for the woman he loves," Feek continues. "But please, one thing I ask ... don't just pray that Joey is healed. Yes, pray for a miracle. But also pray for peace in her heart, and ours, if God chooses not to let this cup pass from her sweet lips."
He reveals that his wife's condition is deteriorating. "Most of Joey's immune system is gone now and she's thin and frail. Where she once jumped out of bed before the sun rose to rush out to her garden... she now quietly sleeps away most of the days. I lie beside her at night and I hold her hand and listen to her breathe. And I pray."
In the same blog post, Rory Feek reveals that he and his wife have been in Alexandria, Ind., Joey Feek's hometown, spending time with her family and friends - "reminiscing about their school days, the Halloweens and Christmases and the journey that has brought them and all of us here."
"They've swallowed hard and had some difficult conversations that they didn't want to have. Conversations made even harder by the memory of losing their brother Justin to a car accident when he was only 17," Rory Feek writes. "But mostly, it's been beautiful."
