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.

Back in Panama City


"Get insurance with God and do a good deed, settle down and stick to your last. Keep company with God, get in on the best.
Open up before God, keep nothing back; He'll do whatever needs to be done: He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval a high noon." Psalm 37: 3-6 (The Message)

I am back in Panama City! and very happy to be back, to see my beautiful Bethany and my sisters and brothers in Christ.
But, I have not forgotten the friends I made in Gainsville from the American Cancer Society Lodge and I hope God will bring healing to them.
Life goes on, and here I am, God taking care of me and my needs day by day. It is not easy to trust God, but I am in the learning process of my condition. There is not much I can do or change, but God can.
Today I went for a walk, and praise God for all the beauty He has created for us, how wonderful to see the blue sky, the blooming plants, the water on the bay ... I believe this is a time that the Lord is telling me..."just be still and enjoy what I have created for you"... I have always been on the go, working and so busy with things to do that I had a hard time finding a break to be able to go for walks or enjoy God's creation.
In the picture Gary and Sandy from the American Cancer Society Lodge. Gary is fighting Esophageal and Stomach cancer. Sandy (his wife) is being very supportive and helping him through the process. Please pray for healing and peace for Gary and spiritual and physical strength for Sandy.
Thank you to you all that have send comments, emails, and keep me in prayer.
Love you!
PS: I know you may be asking about my decision about chemotherapy... I am waiting on the Lord for this, I've done what I can with my hands to get a referral to a chemo doctor in town that has been recommended, I am resting that the Lord will open the door or close it (it is a doc that has lots of patients and because of that is very hard to get an appt).

  1. Dear Sophia, I am glad you are back in Panama city. I will mail you a letter to your mailing address that I have for you in PC. I sent you a letter to your old address but I think you had already left. I am praying for you and hope you get your appointment with your Dr. as soon as you like too.
    I am grateful to you for your wonderful messages. You are very blessed on knowing exactly what passage to write. Stay well and rest and again I keep you in my prayers. I love the photos of you and your friends! your friend Brenda
