brought me to absolute tears as I thought of the long march towards my father’s death almost one year ago now… all the prayers on Facebook literally keeping my faith alive, strengthening me when I had none, hoping for me when i couldn’t, praying for all of us when words would fail. Oh how He ministers to us through those Jesus -people

What a beautiful post Cindy…. I can’t even tell you how often I send up a prayer for Heidi and ya’ll. With Saydee being the same age as Ashley, I pray extra hard for her too. Keep the faith, feel the prayers, and know how much you ALL are loved….

Thanks for your prayers and may you, too, feel the love and prayers of all the Jesus-people that uphold you in your ministry! Love you!!!

Oh my. Pain and unspeakable suffering and loss. I can’t even. But – as you say, the Jesus-people knew just what to do, even when nothing could really be done, they stepped in and LOVED you in the midst of the suffering. That must be the work of the Holy Spirit! And I so agree – when you’ve been through the dark valley, you’re much more in tune to the sufferings of others. For that, I am grateful. Peace, sister.

In reply to Kathy.

Hi Kathy – Thank-you so, so much for your prayers! And also that book you sent on the healing power of God. I devoured it. You are such an inspiration and encouragement – thank-you for that! Heidi is weak and worn – she just finished chemo and radiation and we’re praying and waiting for her strength to return. Her spirit is unwaveringly strong, though, and that’s a wonderful thing to have going for you in this situation! We truly covet your prayers. We are never going to stop praying for total healing for her! Because GOD CAN!!!

Thanks, Steve. Your prayers mean more than I could ever express. We feel them! And, I’d have to say – your words are pure truth: Life IS just sad and beautiful all at the same time! We’re learning to live in that tension. Peace.

In reply to Jan Dyksterhouse.

Oh Jan – thank-you so much for the prayers. We feel them! I know that’s the only reason we are still standing! What a humbling state to be in – to be so dependent on the prayers of others. God is teaching us MUCH during this season of life!
