Praise Our Lord!

Hello My Dear Family & Friends!
I hope you all are enjoying this day! I am just prais'n God for His Goodness, Faithfulness, Mercy and Love today. I am just busting at the seams excited to shout God's praises in what He has done in my life! I can't tell you how much my life has changed because of this cancer. God has renewed my life and for that I am completely thankful to my God! I am experiencing a joy that I have never felt - an excitement for life that I just can't explain. WOW - to wake up each morning with a new day ahead of me and I GET to share God with all I come in contact with! It truly is a great privelage to serve God. It blows me away that God loves us as He does. He is so merciful and compassionate on His children. I met a lady on the phone last night and her name is Vicki. Vicki is also battling breast cancer ( stage 3c). We both had the same amount of chemo treatments - 16 total and she is finishing her last FEC treatment tomorrow. I share her with you because I would love for you all to pray for her. The FEC treatments are so very horrifying that the thought of having to endure just one more is truly more than a person can handle. I know you think "oh just one more and then your done" but it is truly a living hell to experience and she really needs your prayers to get through "just one more". As I spoke with vicki last night I heard a woman who deeply loves her Jesus and has got her eyes on her Savior to get her through this. She's is an amazing woman and ministered to my heart! She too will have a victory to praise God for. Thank you for your prayers for her! I love how God brings people together. I am beginning to see how Jesus is using my trial to bring hope and encouragement to other people and not just people going through cancer but any trial. I have also realized that with great trails comes GREAT PRAISE!!! God does use horrible things in our lives to bring out the good in us and to give all the glory to Jesus. He is our helper in all our battles and promises us great victory as His children. You just can't go wrong with serving Jesus. If you are reading this and haven't surrendered your life to God please do so. I promise you as I have experienced the last 8 months that God is real and alive and active in our lives today. He will fill you with a joy that is undescribable. Yes, I know that trials will still come but in the midst of them you truly will feel His joy and peace. Please give him a chance to love you - He's just a prayer away and so waiting to hear from His child!

Love you tons,
Dana
