Terisa,
I never ever check my email and on this day of May, i sat down at my computer and was delighted to see an email from you. I feel blessed that you would share such private matters with me despite the fact we dont stay in touch as much as we should :-). Interestingly enough, your beauty shines through your words as well as it does when you walk into a room. I just want to let you know that I am always here for you and i would love to keep u company for a weekend or so. Text me as soon as you can. God Bless.

Love, Micheala

Well, Darlin’
I am blown away once again by your gorgeous, inspirational writing. I remember those amazing poems and letters you wrote as gifts to your mom. Man, she loved those!

I am so glad you are sharing your spiritual journey, the joy, the struggle, the doubt. It takes courage to be honest about our fears and faith. But, when we do, we open ourselves up to more love–Thank you for letting us love you even more.

Peg

Thank you all for your prayers and inspiring words, everyday, and some days every hour is a challenge to keep myself from despair, and being able to interact with you all this way keeps me inspired, and motivated to continue exercising my thoughts, and energy.
Love you guys.

Terisa,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
I love the white wispy scarf on the purple background.
To me, it embodies hope and faith.

I am grateful to know you.
I am sorry you have to experience physical and emotional pain.
I know there must be good reasons for you to experience this.
There’s a silver lining somewhere.
I trust that you will find it or perhaps you will become “it.”
Love always,
Nancy

Terisa,
You have such a wonderful way with words and you are an amazing strong young woman. You have been through alot in your young life and it is times like these where we look at our faith in God and loved ones for support. Trials are not here for us to go through alone, that is why God gave us family & friends who love and care for us. The trials do produce perseverance and strength that only comes from God. We dont need to have our own strength because He gives it to us through prayer, support from family & friends, the knowledge of doctors (at least some of them- huh)medicine & miracles. Hopefully your fears will subside as the days go on and you will feel the strength build each and everyday. We are all here for you and even though the road is going to get tougher- you will come out victorious in more ways than one. The victory of conquering cancer, taking control of your life as far as eating healthy & exercising and most of all your faith in God that will grow each and everyday. Here is a verse from the bible that I wanted to share with you tonight.
Be anxious for nothing, but in evertything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Lots and lots of love-
Aunt Carol
