My dear one, I watch this molding of you and this verse is so pronounced. May you be blessed as you hear your new life proclaimed by Him. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 - We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed, always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. You are a vessel in the Master's hands, His workmanship created in Christ Jesus to good works. The potter is forming Christ in us, let's rejoice together in this journey. I am standing with you in this great battle of faith. I love you dearly, Judie 2 Corinthians My sweet one,

I feel for you. I sat here and cried through this and told my husband how much you mean to me. The whole pen pal thing. We both know (in different ways) that sometimes it's OK to just say THIS HURTS. THIS IS SO HARD. I HATE THIS. I'm a silent screamer too. sometimes I think we just need an empty house or car to scream and cry in. And a punching bag. A very big punching bag. Praying for peace, Heather Oh lady, I just love you. I feel for you. I sat here and cried through this and told my husband how much you mean to me. The whole pen pal thing.

So anyway, here it goes... (I'll try to make you laugh, though you may cry too.) Your blog but more than that, YOU mean so much to and I truly don't know what i'd do without you in my life. You are honest. fun. funny (i remember skyping you when you were packing up all those vases of yours, so funny). You are smart and compassionate and just really real. You are a faithful servant to Jesus and the past 2 1/2 has been a true testimony of life of clinging to Him. You encourage me to show grace to others and myself. To look beyond myself and my situation and look toward Christ who is the head of all things. I am so in love with your kids. I love your husband and I love your parents too. So, thank you for being here for me, through and through, even while your life is flipped upside down and your struggles are heavy, almost unbearable. Thank you for the scrabble games, I'm not sure I would have made it through grad school without the drive to try to beat Angie in scrabble...we know how well that went?!? Thank you for being my friend, my bible study leader, my peer and my sister in Christ. I love you and I'm praying for you...and I will continue to no matter where this next chapter in my life takes me. Oh and I agree, somehow and someway, you are all going to be better for it...I know I already am because all this has given me the chance to get to know you and well, I am blessed beyond what i deserve! you ever realize that at 2 a.m. things just strike you harder and deeper? that is, i guess, if you’re awake ;) Lucky for you, I am.

(your kids have had to suffer some Angie, but they are happy children, loved by so many, so many people love all of you. It is really very good that Asher is expressing himself, that he feels safe too, that he feels you are strong enough that he can tell you how he is feeling) I will be praying for you all over these next weeks. I know you are not feeling too good with the thyroid med cut off, etc. We will pray for good news, and happy smiles on the Davis' faces! Carol Jesus loves them more that we do.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I am so sorry that I am not there to give you a hug and let you scream into my shoulder. Cancer is horrid. Just plain horrid. I hope that you are over this, Angie. I pray it. I don’t think that anyone who has not gone through this can completely understand the many different ways cancer affects your lives.

Still goes blurry. I can't begin to imagine how you must feel, but I'm always inspired to read how you can always see how gracious God is in the midst of what the world can only see as horrible. I don't know what purpose He has in all this, but I can easily imagine the good work He does through you. I'm always amazed to see God at work. Thank you for your transparency and I praise God for the amazing strength He has given you to do His work. Hmm. Still goes blurry.
