She is lucky to have a friend like you...I can just imagine the light of Jesus radiating from the two of you as y'all sat giggling together.

And what I find even more awesome is how God is growing each of you individually, how He's deepening your friendship and most importantly how He's drawing you both to Him in the midst of these seemingly yucky circumstances. <br />We serve an AMAZING God.<br />I pray that your hopes match perfectly with God's perfect plan.Molly Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140964889110189585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-77612756835875454802010-07-14T18:32:46.574-07:002010-07-14T18:32:46.574-07:00Wow!

My mother was ill for a long part of her life, but she always said that it was those who surrounded her that made everything worthwhile. Your strength passes on to her and so forth. Sometimes G-D has plans, and the hope is that we have completed all of them before we have to go...keep [assing on your strength.<br /> So glad I could connect with you and everyone else.

Kudos to you for saying exactly what was in your heart. <br /><br />In church, we're going through a series on the Holy Spirit, and two weeks ago, it was about healings and miracles. Here is what I wrote in my notes:<br />"Always ask boldly for healings and miracles. God's will <i>will</i> be done, but our faith grows when we ask and He answers. Pray like King David (2 Samuel 12:16-20). He prays earnestly, and when his prayers go unanswered, he turns right around and worships his sovereign God."<br /><br />Hope this may help a little! Keep leaning on the Lord.<br /><br />That all being said - I love the way the colors in the necklace pop against your white shirt.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148297814666688033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-22808714446006689532010-07-14T12:40:24.853-07:002010-07-14T12:40:24.853-07:00Thank you for sending me that post.

Keep praying, God has a plan to prosper Bobbie and not to harm her (Jeremiah 11-ish?) Whatever the outcome of Bobbie's cancer, it's comforting to know that God has not foresaken her.<br /><br />Also, miracles DO happen!

It's crazy, I was JUST having this conversation with two of my other girlfriends about how important it is to stand in the gap and pray for one another's marriages when we don't have the strength to pray, or wisdom to know what to do. I feel like I'd be lost without the love of my girlfriends who cheer me on through life. I think it's ok to say that you're struggling. It's reaffirming to know that when we linger away, God is faithful to pull us back in. He's like a tether. I love that I can't go too far before I get jerked right back. Thanks for sharing about your marriage. Now I know what I can pray for you about. <br /><br />**I sometimes feel like I end up putting my foot in my mouth over the not so popular topics that end up on my blog. But as long as you write what you feel strongly about, and write for you, I don't think it matters how "appropriate" it is.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624349621537848131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-63909203927836154012010-07-14T10:08:16.503-07:002010-07-14T10:08:16.503-07:00It must be so hard for you to walk this road with ...It must be so hard for you to walk this road with your friend, but it is absolutely great that you are just there with her - I lot of people I know are freaked out by any serious illness and withdraw from the friendship. <br /><br />Oh and I love the shirt - especially on the shoulders, I like wearing white in summertime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-76147787321554872592010-07-14T10:01:47.692-07:002010-07-14T10:01:47.692-07:00i love this post and much prayers for everything w...i love this post and much prayers for everything working out right. what a good friend you are.<br /><br />Cute clothes, I am loving them.{andthisiswhatshesaid}https://www.blogger.com/profile/03904678919647798329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536350059675671064.post-4770137783949402352010-07-14T10:01:47.693-07:002010-07-14T10:01:47.693-07:00That was a BEAUTIFUL post.

While you wrote about cancer, the trust in God is such a universal issue. I'm feeling lonely and hurt in my marriage right now, but I don't feel like it's appropriate to write about on my blog. Anyway, reading this today puts things in perspective and reminds me God is waiting for me to finally come back to him with my problems.
