You know how you sit and wonder what changes are going to happen in your life within the next year? Well, a year ago I would not have thought that my future would hold three surgeries and a life-altering diagnosis. But "God knows the plans He has for us." (Jer. 29:11)
I have begun a journal of the things that have happened to me and decided that I would share it with those who know me and love me. (Besides, at my age, my memory is so bad that if I don't write it down somewhere, I will forget the details.) I also hope to use this as a way to keep everyone updated (in case I forget to call you).
Most of all, I want everyone that reads this to say a special prayer for me each time you log on because I know that prayers are powerful and effective.

Love you! Thanks for sharing this with us. You have been, and will continue to be, in our prayers. You and your family are so special to us.
I have no dearer friend than you; we have shared so many years and experiences. It is so hard to see you travel this path and be unable to carry part of the load. I do the only thing I can: begin and end each day with prayers for you.
Love,

Joyce,
We were saddened to hear about your latest battle. I know however, with strength from the Lord, you will be triumphant. Thanks for sharing your blog with us and we will be checking back regularly for updates.
You have been and will remain in our prayers.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am (as I'm sure many are) encouraged by your outlook. You have been in our constant prayers and will continue to be. May God grant you strength, peace, and most of all healing!
What a great gift to all of us, to be able to share in this time with you. You are in our hearts and prayers daily, and we trust in God's plan for you.

Hi Joyce, I saw your blog at Charlotte's (you know I'm not on the internet).
I'm thinking of you all the time and my prayers are with you. Hang in there!
Love You,

Joyce I am praying for you and thinking what a strong christian you are. God is the great physician. I know he will be there and use you for his good purpose.
Love Jane
Joyce, How did your first treatment go. I hope you did well and are only feeling tired. This is your time "to be still and know that I am God." Take advantage of the time for your personal growth and time to be in prayer and his word. God has a since of humor and sometimes has to bring us down inorder for us to really listen to him.
He also shows us his great love for us. You will be so blessed by others during this time and truly grateful for all your friends and family.
May God grant you peace and serenity.
Love JAne
