Last night as I was unpacking, Tim walked in and was on the phone with Mike Furrey. Remember, Mike? He is our dear friend who embraced Nick so beautifully as he fought cancer. He used to play for the Cleveland Browns but just signed recently with the Washington Redskins.
Anyway, his foundation has been heavily involved with a family whose little girl is now fighting brain cancer and he wanted us to know that he had given the mom our phone number. Their little girl, Faith, is very, very sick. I asked for prayer for Faith months ago and included a cute little picture of her holding a teddy bear. You may remember that too.
I ended up on the phone with Faith’s mom for over an hour last night, and I just felt strongly this morning to ask you publicly to lift her and her family to the throne of God.
I am including a link to her CaringBridge sight, but you may have to open an account to get to it. Thank you for every prayer for Faith. Click Here: Faith’s Story
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!

Hi Tammy! It was very nice visiting with you at She Speaks! I had to drag my weary tail to work this morning, and my junior high special ed students were so excited to hear about my trip. Made me feel so good!
I’m sorry to hear about this little girl battling cancer. Here is my prayer for her.
Lord,
It’s hard for me to understand why children have to suffer. I know it breaks your heart. Please hold little Faith snugly in your arms. Relieve her pain, and, if it will bring you the most glory, demolish her cancer! Free her brain and her whole body from the grasp of that terrible disease. Bring peace into the hearts of Faith and her family and loved ones. Use this painful time to bring them all closer to you. In Jesus’ Name I pray, AMEN
Cancer: i hate it.
