John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Thanking God Every Day

"What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this father of our master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand new life, and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven-and the future starts now! 1st Peter 1: 3-5 The Message
Thanks to my good God I am doing better day after day, nausea and headaches are not as bad as they used to, I am tolerating radiation treatments better now, and I am getting used to it as well.
I keep giving the kierchiefs and praying for others that are going through a similar situation as mine, it is a joy to do it, it is good to share our faith and pray for others and hear their stories, everyone has one. Keep in prayer Jaques a little boy 6 months old, he was born full term with only 2 and 1/2 pounds, and of course put in incubator right away... grandma was there holding this little, but very alert baby...we talked for a while, prayed for Jaques and gave her a kierchief... that little boy did not take his eyes out of my face (Theresa was looking at us while we were praying)...I know the Lord has magnificent plans for that little one, he survived although he was so small and underweight, all because God has plans for his life, I know that... Grandma is a believer, her daughters name is Bethany (like my daughter) we need to pray for her and pray that she will come to the Lord.
This is the first time that I have become so humbled I think... I am learning so much, the Lord knew my future, the Lord knew my pride and this "perfectionism" of mine, having everything under control always, everything in order, everything had to be perfect... very wrong, and God is showing me now that I was been a Martha instead of a Mary, there are more important things than having everything perfect and order, including myself! the inner me is what needs to grow, the outside does not matter. I am now in a total humble position, I have always been doing things on my own and fixing things and getting out of situations on my own...today I need help, I need help doing things, fixing and getting situations worked out....and God is providing this wonderful family in the Lord to help me through this... God is teaching me to be humble and ask for help when I need it, let pride aside and ask.
Theresa is with me this week, and I am laughing a lot! I think everyone has a gift, you learn so much from everyone, and I am learning a lot from every sister that comes and stays with me.
Please keep praying for my health, today I had my first MRI, please pray that everything is ok with the shunt and no more surgeries needed! please keep praying that God will keep lifting up family in the Lord that will be able to come and stay with me at the Lodge, and that I grow stronger and stronger every day.
God bless you all,

  2. Ps 147 "Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasanat, & a song of praise is fitting. The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted & binds up their wounds. He determines the # of the stars; He gives names to them all. Great is our Lord, & abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The Lords lifts up the humble, he casts the wicked to the ground."
    May the Lord continue to lift you up & give you strength to handle each day; & may be provide healing for your body. Love you, patti
