[…] years ago I wrote about my initial reaction to getting LAM. At the time, I thought I’d be fortunate if I were able to live 10 years. I am more optimistic […]

Cindy, I do not know you but came upon your blog when a friend shared it on FB-she also has LAM! I share your love for Jesus Christ and have been blessed by your words and your heart! Our son was in a near fatal motorcycle accident and a friend gave me this verse-it is my “go to” verse. It is Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in YOU!

Hi Cindy. Here's a link to a recent newsletter from The LAM Foundation, in it you'll find some statistics and lots of hopeful data….http://www.thelamfoundation.org/images/pdfs/fall13journeys.pdf
I added you to the Facebook group, I hope you find it helpful and supportive.

Cindy, I cried through most of your story, both from the pain you and your family is enduring but also because of your unfailing love for our Savior Jesus Christ and the Hope that you have in Him. My prayer is that you are able to touch innumerous folks with your story and His, and that many will be saved by this life changing situation. You will be in my prayers and I am thankful that our Hope is in the Lord, not in this world.

Love In Christ

Hey Cindy. You are an amazing, beautiful woman of God and I am so blessed to know you. I am full of different emotions as I read your blog and some day soon would love to be one of the women who sits with you over coffee, or some wine, and share our hearts while laughing or crying. You just radiate Jesus and it comes through all of your beautiful words on this page once again. The "first death" of the the news happens to us and the "second kind of death" happens in us....it is a death we bring upon ourselves if we refuse to be transformed by the 1st death. You will not die but you will LIVE because your response to the loss is not only transforming you but others. Your presence just "brings life". I am reminded that you are on God's calendar and that sickness will not take you home but HE will when he is ready and you still have life in you to bring life! I too thought when I read this, when I think of the word "LAM" I think of "The Lamb" who has already completed everything for you, to offer you everything that you need. And you are so precious and loved by HIM and so many others. We love you and your family. You all have always held and still do hold a very special place in our hearts. Thanks for sharing your heart Cindy, you just make me smile. Praying for you and anytime willing to pray with you.

Love,
Jill, Chris, Kelsey, and Katelyn

Cindy, Stumbling through the internet this morning and found your blog. I have only recently met you, and only seen you a few times, but I felt from the beginning that you are someone to get to know. I could see a story that I need to hear. I'm so sorry to hear of your illness and I will pray for you and your family to be carried through these years, however many there are. Thank you for sharing your heart and giving this account as a gift at a time when it would be easier to circle the wagons. Peace be with you. Dotti Delffs

What a precious gift of writing you have! Words that challenge and encourage others while sharing your deepest pain. Your bucket list should all of ours, to pour ourselves out as unto the Lord until there's nothing left.

I am an adoptive mom of 3, bio mom to 2 and it's been a long, hard 13 years. Like you said so eloquently, everyone has a story. I tell mine on my blog and have connected to many other adoptive moms who have wounded children and are lost in the battle for their hearts. Thank you for encouraging me through YOUR story. God bless you.

Cindy,
I am so saddened by your news and am sure that I do not have the right words to say. One thing I want you to know is that I have always had the utmost respect and admiration of you and Paul. You are two people who “walk the walk.” You are unbelievable in your character, and I have been blessed to know you.
