As I sat down to write this post, I read back through my December 7 entry and remembered the fear I battled during those first days and weeks of Anna's diagnosis. It made me think about a friend of mine who is fighting cancer. Last night I talked to her daughter and she told me that her mom said, "I need something to look at." Just before I started cleaning out the closet, I put a card in the mail to her with a verse on it about God delivering us from our fears. I thought she could look at that verse and meditate on it. But now I think God showed me where the ring was so that I could pass it on to her. I think she needs to wear a physical reminder to trust God during this hard time--just like I needed to six years ago.
So hello ring and goodbye. I have learned to trust God without you reminding me. Someone else needs you now.

That was beautiful.
What a beautiful story. Going through challenges right now, and I am embarrassed to say as trying as it is, it in NO way compares to the challenges you have had to face. And yet I can still feel my faith slipping some days and then I come here to the blog of a person I have never met, who I found by accident, and then feel so ashamed but also so inspired and gain strength and find that faith again. Thank you for that.

Another moving one... ;)
