This past Saturday, our family shared in the wedding of our daughter. This was the last of three daughters' weddings. Many years ago, when I was diagnosed with leukemia and looked at three young girls, I doubted that I would ever live to see them be escorted down the aisle by their Daddy. Their weddings seemed so far away and unattainable. The impossibilities of life become possible only through Christ.
Nevertheless, God had far different plans and He strengthened my faith and helped me to believe (and not doubt) that I would live to see my three beautiful daughter brides. He carried me through numerous, life-threatening scenarios and restored health to my body. He encouraged my spirit to never, ever give up, despite negative reports and a failing body. He never left my side, but escorted me through each day's challenges and victories.
As our beautiful bride walked down the aisle on Saturday, I wept. I wept because I knew that all of our daughters were raised and on their ways to lives of their own. I wept because of the awesomeness of my Heavenly Father and how He alone enabled me to live for these special days. Praises be to Him .....

I know we have never met but I have been following your journey through your blog for some time now. I continue to keep you in my prayers. I found your blog through Gary Latham's blog. I am part of the Latham's church and was blessed to have the opportunity to get to know Gary.
Your strength and faith are amazing and continue to inspire me. I am so glad that to hear about the wedding. I was really concerned that it had been so long since the blog was updated knowing of all of your challenges with infections. May God grant you peace and direction as you faithfully wait for His guidance.
Lots of Love,
Cindy
