His Promises Stand True

I've appreciated the prayers and support ... and wanted to specifically thank my husband, my mom, chad, abby, dad and monica, nick, jess, karen and a few others for their encouragement through cards, e-mails and messages!

"God is worth worshipping in the place of suffering" - the lyrics by Jason Upton ring true. There is nothing I have experienced in my 23 years thus far like illness that has forced me to lean upon the Lord in every moment for strength and endurance. This continues to be a humbling circumstance. I was praying the other day about how I love to serve others and am tired of having to be served so much... but God created the body exactly for that- to serve, to act as one, to be the strength for the weak and to mirror the relationship between Christ and the Church.

Be aware of how much you have the ability to help those in need, by a simple phone call or e-mail.
