~ my sister, the brave warrior ~

many of you are probably wondering why debbie from

house at the lake

hasn't been blogging since before christmas

 

she was just diagnosed with uterine cancer

 

if you go to her blog and read her last post 

on december 20

her petrifying ordeal is chronicled there

 

 

i spoke with her today for a while

it was so good to to hear her voice

june 2010

 

she's doing okay under the circumstances...

her girls spent the weekend with her to keep her company

but like any of us thrown into a situation like this

 

she's having moments of uncertainty and fear ~

 

of crying out to God with questions

 

of weeping uncontrollably

 

 

but she knows he's still in control

and is accepting whatever happens

 

she's good like that...

 

that's why i love her so

my strong sister-in-Christ

♥

she's a faithful, trusting child of God

ready to roll with whatever is thrown into her path

and many things have over the years

 

 

she's handled them all eloquently and bravely

like the good soldier she is

 

 

her surgery is scheduled for january 11

once again she's got her armor on

and she's ready to fight

 

to fight with everything she has

 

she's not blogging right now

because the computer screen makes her feel dizzy

but i know she would love to hear from you all

 

and wouldn't it be a wonderful blessing to her to receive 

a mailbox full of love?

so if you'd like to send her a card, a letter, a special little something -

you can mail it to her at this address

but above all else...

please pray for her

 

because there is incredible, unspeakable, amazing power in prayer

she's got her armor on

and we must put ours on, too ~

 

because we are her prayer warriors

 

are you ready and willing

 to stand beside her

and help her win the battle?

 

 

i know i am...

 

 

 

♥

 

{ blessings }
