Last week I received an email from a student who graduated from the college where my husband teaches. She shared in the note about a precious little girl named Faith who lives near her and who was diagnosed February 19th with terminal brain cancer. She has been given 6 months to live by her oncologist.
Tomorrow Faith begins a type of radiation that will hopefully slow down the growth of the tumor, and her mom is asking everyone who is willing to fast in prayer for her to please do so.
I have fallen in love with this little girl in one short week, and as I thought about the phrase, “Fasting for Faith,” I couldn’t help but think of the faith that is required when we choose to fast and pray.
Faith in a God who cares.
Faith in a God who listens.
Faith in a God who understands.
Faith in a God who goes ahead of us making the rough places smooth.
Faith in a God who never leaves or forsakes us.
So, tonight, I’m sending out a plea to all of you.
Will you consider fasting for Faith in whatever way your health allows on Monday?
Every time you feel hungry, whisper a prayer for this sweet little girl and her family.
I am believing that as we “fast for Faith” our own faith will grow, and I am trusting that God will hear our every prayer.
If you click on Faith’s name in the first paragraph, you will be taken to her CaringBridge site.
God bless your Monday,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
Friend…I am certainly praying for Faith…Keep us updated. Do you have any info on where she is located??? I would love to be able to send a card…LOVE YA!
I hate cancer.
I will email you later.
She is so precious. Just a few months younger than my own daughter. I will fast and pray for her.
