Text for the day is: Acts 17:26-28
From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the time
set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach
out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us! For in Him we live and move and have our being.
As some of your own poets have said, 'We are His offspring.'

What an amazing statement! What an astounding insight!
Not only are we unique in every way, right down to our fingerprints, but that we are living in the exact time and place
created for us by our Heavenly Father. I am exactly where He wants me to be...
Because I am human and do not fully understand at this moment His plan for my life to bring Him full glory, I can only
pray and continue on in faith submitting to His perfect will.
I have to admit that I wish I had more control of my situation, but with my human blinders in place, I would only make
things worse, if you can imagine that.
So I pray for forgiveness, mercy, peace, healing, joy, everlasting life, graciousness - everything I need, we need as
a family to overcome... I continue on with the trust of a child, knowing that I am fully loved, fully known as I walk
hand in hand with my Father in Heaven, even here on this earth in my humbled state.
God's blessings to you all, His peace and serenity, love and understanding, May He hold you ever so gently in the palm
of His loving hand...

I have so much to say to everyone. To my husband, children, my father, sisters, my grandparents, my precious mother
and father in law. To my faithful family and friends who have stood by me every step of the way. I can't help
but feel that sometimes I am losing this fight. I don't want to lose this fight. I will do everything I can to
overcome this test that has been given to me. I will choose to glorify my God whether or not my body is healed or if
it succombs to this cancer.
I want you all to know how much I love you. The cards, letters, words of encouragement and support. I have
tried to give back the best to my ability, but I know that in my human state I will have forgotten something, or worse - someone, and
for that I am truly, truly heartsick and saddened to think that I may have forgotten to thank someone, to let them know how
appreciative I have been with the outpouring of love given to me from the start. I hope that you can find it in
your hearts to forgive me in my illness and ignorance. I love you. Even if we have only met via email, or in passing
through a hospital hallway. I thank you for that smile that made me take those extra steps, just because I was inspired
by your kind heart, your smile...
I will try in my following entries to write a small letter of gratitude and love to the people who have touched
my life...
I carry each and every one of you with me, comforting me, bringing me peace and joy, I carry you here in my
heart...
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven. Matthew
5:16
