Tough Time

Valerie had a chemotherapy treatment yesterday for the first time in San Diego, which is great, but since the treatment she has been unbelievably sick. Please pray that she can eat and rest today and feel better. We have a love/ hate relationship with the chemotherapy it seems. It is reducing the cancer, but at the same time so hard on her whole body.

God's Word tell us that He will never ask us to do something that He won't also give us the strength to do. We pray specifically for strength this day.

As always, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your body is wise Val and knows how to handle the hard times. I visualize the chemo doing it's job as clearly as I see the DIS EASE passing through you. You are whole and well. You are strong and wise. I know this because God tells me so. : )

Dear Val;

I am so sorry you're not feeling well. I am praying that the chemo is doing its work on those tumors! I pray our Lord will sustain you and give you strenght to endure this part... I know He will! Let Him carry you now, Val! Cling to His promise that He will not allow more that what you can handle. I found the verse we were talking about at IHOP, I pray it will give you comfort for today and the days ahead... Get better soon, so you can come to Seaworld tomorrow!

1 Corinthians 10:13 (New American Standard Bible)

No temptation (trial) has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

Rest now, my friend, and be comforted knowing that He is there with you holding you tight in His arms...

Call me if you need anything!

I woke up this morning and immeditely went to my Journal and started praying for you Valerie. I somehow knew you weren't feeling well and I wrote out my prayer asking God to help you feel better. I prayed specifically for you to maintain your strength. As I opened up the blog this afternoon I realized again God connects us all in so many ways.

I will continue to pray, and then pray some more for you to feel strong and heal. I am reminded of the song you and your Dad mentioned, Look to Jesus; he will bring us strength.

Val,
I spoke to Deanna tonight and am excited for all of us to get together in April. We will have to pick a weekend that works for you and I will book a flight.
I am thinking of you and know you are enveloped in God's love.
I am so sorry that you have had a rough couple of days. It was nice to hear your voice today and know that you are on the road to feeling well again.
Even though I am far away you are never far from my thoughts.

I miss you,

Marianne

Dear Val...

I am late in writing this to you as you are feeling better now! Seeing you on Saturday at Kendall's birthday, you would never know that you struggled the days before...you always look wonderful!!! And we were soooo GLAD to see you at Seaworld!!!

I am so sorry that those days treated you so unkindly. It is so hard to feel badly and suffer...but just when you think you cannot handle one more minute of "yuckiness"...you are relieved from it!!! And thank God for that!!! It is in those "down" times though that we must rely on our Father to carry us through...just like we said over and over on our walk this morning...His Will be done! He knows our burdens and He will carry us through them.

I hope I do not sound redundant with this...or cliche...but I really BELIEVE this to be true. He won't give us more than we can handle. Every day I see the truth in this more and more. With the trials and journeys I have walked thus far in my life...and continue to walk...there is just no way I am here without Him carrying me through!!! And the same goes for every single one of us...we are not on this road alone...and as hard as it is to remember at times...that thought must come first...He is with us...He is with you...always and forever. In the most glorious times and in the darkest times...you are in His care!!!

And we continue our prayers for you and your family...every single one of you is covered...may you feel the strength, endurance, peace and comfort that is prayed for!!! God bless you!

All my love,
Kerry Randall
