Minnie,

I am truly saddened to hear of yet another battle looming on the near horizon for you. I know I speak for many in wishing there was something I could do to help you. I think that feeling of helplessness is even worse than any type of fear. I will be praying fervently for you and your family that His love will provide comfort and His grace will always be sufficient for all your needs. I also pray for His wisdom and His guidance to your entire medical team that they may develop the best possible treatment plan and carry out that plan to precision so that you may enjoy life to its fullest. I am sending my love to you and to your wonderful family. Though the burdens be great, rest assured that He will always be with you.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

YBIC,

Ed
