    Be strong and courageous, do not be fightened or

    dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you

    whereever you go. Joshusa 1:9 NRSV

    Why are you downcast, O my soul?

    Why so disturbed within me?

    Put your hope in God,

    for I will yet praise him,

    My Savior and my God.  Pslam 42:11 NIV

    The Lord will guide you continually,

    And satisfy your soul in drought,

    And strengthen your bones;

    You shall be like a watered garden,

    And like a spring of water, whose

    waters do not fail.   Isaiah 58:11

    The eternal God is your refuge,

    And underneath are the everlasting arm;

    He will thrust out the enemy from before you,

    And will say, "Destroy."    Deuteronomy 33:27

    Thinks for all the uplifting and reminding me that God is in Control. I have to have a bi-opsy in a couple weeks due to clusber Breast calcification. I just got kind of terrified when they said biopsy because both my Mother and Grandmother had breast cancer. My father went to heaven last year and died of cancer. One thing I do know is every path we walk puts us on the journey of being closer to Ouir amazing lord and Savior. Keep me in your prayers. Thank you Lisa Jackson

    Dear Lord, Bless our new friend Lisa, Help her to have hope and keep her

    around hopeful people til she knows. Help calm her raging  storms of the unknown

    And get her peace, that she may place her trust  in the doctors nurses and nutritionist

    that attend to her needs. Use them, I pray, as Your conduits of Your grace and bring her

    healing You will bring if You so desire. We offer a humble prayer in the name of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ. AMEN

    Spring, I think that says it all!

    Lisa, my prayers are with you during this trying time; remember to breathe, take gentle care of yourself and know that you are not alone. God is with you, find strength in him to get thru the next few weeks.

    Remember to always have faith, for everything will work out in the end.

    Dance

    Your soul can dance though pain here.

    Call healing music to your ear.

    Spot emotion's fickle turning,

    Leap in love,

    Stretch hopes,

    Master fear's deep strain's.

    Dare to dance both health and pain.

    However clumsy, long, or fleeting,

    We dance life well if grace is leading.

    Hi Spring and Friends,

    I am teary, The hospital sent me home from class cause I was weak and very swollen.  I have been on the phone fighting medical, They cut back on helpofor flexitouch(lypmedema) and I cant afford to pay  and then I got another bill today. I will make it with the Lord holding on to me. I almost don't want to go to my cancer dr tomorrow. Cause I can't afford too.

    Tough times never last but tough people do! God bless you all. Hugs Debbie

     It is You who light my lamp; The Lord My God,

    Lights up my darkness. This God---His way is perfect;

    The promise of the Lord proves true;

    He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

    Psalms 18:28-30 NRSV

    Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

    I have called you by name, you are mine

    When you pass through the waters, I will

    be with you; and through the rivers, they

    shall not overwhelm you; when you walk

    through fire you shall not be burned,

    and the flame shall not consume you.

    For I am the Lord your God.  Isaiah 43: 1-3 NRSV

    Dear Friends, Thank you for the support,  Sometime I like today fell like the I just

    dont understand, I am still sore from the shot the cancer nurse gave me and I turn

    black and blue easy. But I pray that  we can stay strong together and not let the

    Devil get us down. We are so luck to have a Father in heaven to pray or cry to when we

    are on overload, I just am so sad that we are getting cut back on care we need in medical.

    I hope to be able to get more energy and not so swollen( my one arm and down the side is very

    bad) Praise God I have a family here that cares,God bless everyone here and I am praying for you. God loves you and so do I. Hugs, Debbie

    Father. replace all my pessimism with optimism, Fearfulness

    with hopefulness. As Jesus healed the man with the withered

    hand, heal my withered attitude and fill me with hope, as well

    as a desire to meet You in the midst of my pain and worry. In

    Jesus' name, I pray. Amen

    There is work down here yet for us to do.  He will not call us Home until it is our time.  Whatever our burden, He can turn it into good.

    When One Door Closes In Our Lives, God Always Opens Another

    Sometimes when we

    least expect it,

    A door closes in our lives.

    Circumstances may change,

    dreams may get shattered,

    And plans for tomorrow

    may disappear.

    But when one door closes,

    God always opens another.
