STRONGER EVERY DAY!

I (Debbie) want to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your faithfulness to be in prayer on my behalf. I feel extremely humbled to know that hundreds of people are keeping me in their prayers. I feel the strength of those prayers every day, and know that God is hearing your heart cries. He supplies me with peace and faith....no fear or anxiety. All of this makes no earthly sense, given the kind of cancer I have.

I have a number of things for which we can give God thanks, so let me innumerate some of them, and you can join me in thanking my Faithful Father:
1) my food and meds are staying down (one week now!) 2) my pain has greatly diminished 3) my appetite is picking back up 4) I'm walking more and standing up straighter 4) I was able to be at church again this past Sunday (always a blessing!) 5) I drove for the first time today since I was in the hospital 6) I'm able to take more of the supplements that build my immune system.

God is answering a long-standing prayer of mine to experience more of His love. I knew He couldn't love me more than He already does, but I wanted to experience more of it.....move it from my head to my heart and KNOW it! He has backed up the truck, so to speak, over the past few weeks and has used many of you to spill out that love all over me. His love.....through you....has come in the form of visits, cards, e-mails, food, flowers, gifts, etc. I have never in my life been so overwhelmed with so many avenues of love in such a short period of time. But I know that love originates with My Heavenly Father, and you are the vessels He uses to pour it out. Thank you for being sensitive to the promptings. Some of you have written very personal messages to me, with Scriptures that have been impressed on your heart. I have read and re-read those notes. They are very precious to me. Thanks for taking the time.

I feel very encouraged. I feel stronger each day. My spirits are high. I take one day at a time, knowing that is a gift from the Lord. In all of this, my greatest desire is that God be glorified, so I do ask that you join me in asking for that.....however, He wants that to look. We are continuing to ask for the IMPOSSIBLE. We are asking for healing. Join us if you will in that request. I'm confident there are more things God wants us to learn as a body at RHCC while we walk through this valley together.....let's not miss it!

It's so wonderful to read your msgs on the blog and know that I'm not in this alone, that God has raised up an army of intercessors on my behalf.....I keep asking that He keep giving the burden, and people will not grow weary in prayer. Thank you for stepping into the gap......I'm greatly indebted to you for your prayers.....the GREATEST gift anyone can give me.

Together with you for HIM,

Debbie
