Amy...Please know that I am praying....

Click on the above image to read the scripture.
I will be praying for you as you endure! If you'd like to pray for Amy,too...please go here.
I am amazed every time I go to her blog...that her faith has remained so steady...so constant...so strong. But, we know where her strength comes from. In our weakness, He is strong. The Lord has saved her and given her the strength to carry on. Could we get through what Amy has been so beautifully enduring? Would I have the strength to withstand the chemo, the needles, the tears of not knowing what the future holds? Could I bear the thought of not having the strength some days to hold my baby? And...what about the pain? The pain that must be unbearable at times...but still she holds on to the promise that all things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose. Do I really believe these verses? Somedays it is so easy to spout those words off...but when I really stop and think about the suffering that Amy and her family have gone through, I see how utterly weak I am. How incredibly self serving I am...how much I complain and grumble over the smallest of things. Lord, convince my heart to trust you completely...that you are worthy of my trust. Help me to see that in the big scheme of eternity, we are suffering light afflictions while here on Earth and they can not compare to Your glory that will be revealed one day. In light of eternity, we know Your plans are best. Help us to really trust that.
Thank you, Amy...for showing me that in the deepest of trials and affliction, that God is true to His Word. We can know that no matter what comes our way, He is our sustainer. You are living that out so beautifully. What an example you are.
If you have not been to read Amy's prayer blog, please do that now. It is a privilege to pray for you, Amy.


I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

Sometimes the refining fire of an illness is amazing. We have a man in our congregation who has ALS and is not doing well, and yet we see his joy and love stronger and stronger each week. What faith!
Yes, I have been checking in on her blog and I come away blessed, humbled, and amazed. It's such a first-hand glimpse of God's faithfulness and what He'll do through a life yielded to Him.
OH my gosh I cannot believe how terribly hard what she is going through must be. My husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer in January, but we knew the end was in sight. He had the tumor removed, completed chemotherapy and is now already doing wonderful and cancer free! It was hard, but knowing that he will make it through alive and healthy on the other side is totally different than what she is going through!
My heart breaks for her!
