I could go on and on and tell you about how I'm terrified that I may lose my mother next Thursday to a spinal tumor. I won't. I will memorize this post and keep it in my heart. I believe God's promises. I trust Him with my heart. I just need to trust Him with my mother's life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

So often believers in Jesus assured of their salvation and place in heaven forget Eternal life is not something waiting for us on the otherside. It is something we already Possess. We HAVE eternal life and we are living it today right now, all that is left to be determined is the address where we will be living it out. So continue living Sweet Siter in Christ and let Jesus determine the address (Acts 17:26-7) Because of Jesus, Bobbie Hi Heather

You are one of the many that stand closest to 'the door', even at times you rest your hand on the knob that will allow you access to the Beautiful. That is always what I picture with those who are sick. We all do hang on to this world and it's "charms" but if you should go before us -- it will be your priviledge! We are all coming there eventually too, but many of us stand at the end of the line ---looking up a head, many wishing we could be closer to the door to Everlasting Life! May God bless you today with joy, happiness, hope and thankfulness. May He strengthen you today. I appreciate your thoughts and writing. I pray for you when the Lord brings you to my thoughts. I am praying for you Heather.

Dearest Heather, My beloved Pastor Chuck Obremski bravely battled cancer. While it claimed his body...his mind remained strong and focused on the Lord. To quote Chuck, "There's no panic in heaven...only plans." "You will not die a day sooner, nor a day later that what God has planned since before the foundations." "It's a divine appointment that God has for each of us." God has a plan and purpose for your life...it sounds like you are focused on your Lord...and seeking His will, wisdom and knowledge to live each day.

She said, "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; rather, it robs today of its strength." I think you also have found the secret to not worrying, to hoping instead. God Bless You.

Do not live in the "what if's" God has given you this day, so rejoice and be glad in it and make the most of it. May I suggest an encouraging book? It is called " Praying Through Cancer" and was written by several women who have had cancer, one of which was Barbara Johnson. I read it over and over during my cancer last year. It is written as a daily devotional, but I guarantee you will have a hard time putting it down. I am praying for you every day! ~Gina Heather,
