Then I come on and realize you are a christian - giving God all the glory even in pain. I'm so sorry for all that you are going through. I lost my mom/best friend to cancer - it was a quick 6 months from diagnosis...but she is home with our Lord and that gives me hope even though I miss her every single second. Come find me I have a blog about teaching and mommyhood, I think you'll like it.

I refer to your faith often in the board of directors meeting at our church, there are just so many examples of you facing terrible circumstances and yet you proclaim God as King and everlasting God. I can only pray that I would have your faith in a similar situation. Lucy is truly blessed to have a family such as yours.

I am thankful that God watches over us and carries us through.<br /><br />Today I was thinking how quickly things change. A year ago, my husband and I excitedly traveled to Texas to pick up our new Ragdoll kitten. We had no idea it was even possible that my husband he wouldn't be alive one year later. We must cherish each day.Galenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132369804080588683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-80570477873206983282012-02-20T21:21:59.342-06:002012-02-20T21:21:59.342-06:00It has been such a tough year.

This is a nightmare that no parent ever wants to have to go through but you have come through shining and fighting so hard for your precious girl. <br /><br />Hoping and praying that Lucy heals and will become strong and her faith and love in God will grow too. <br /><br />Always praying for Lucy,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-79327681746544932242012-02-20T19:50:00.611-06:002012-02-20T19:50:00.611-06:00This is so amazing!

I live in another state and found your blog on a friend of a friend's blog. We have had an anniversary too this month. Not cancer but a blood clotting disorder that resulted in the amputation of part of my son's leg. A lot has happened this past year and there have been times when I felt overwhelmed with what God had put on my plate. Your words have encouraged me. So if you ever have a day when you wonder if your words mean anything I am sure there are others out there like me who have read them only to be encouraged by them.

Those are only a few things that daily reminded us that...Life is fragile, it is a miracle. Things are unimportant; they don't matter. What matters is human life and what we choose to do with it. I will always continue to pray for you and your precious family. My "Lucy" button will continue to be displayed on my blog page because I want others to see what life is really about. It is about the journey...the trials, God's faithfulness, our humanness.

My pastor's sermon yesterday was about "glimpses of God." Miss Lucy has helped me get some really powerful glimpses in the past year. And my pastor happened to ask how Lucy was doing as he greeted me after church. Your little girl has touched many lives and will continue to do so. What a gift.Moiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-63015749605694891922012-02-20T03:06:26.085-06:002012-02-20T03:06:26.085-06:00A beautiful post.
