Thank you!<br /><br />CHRISTINA, you would certainly be an encouragement to my own children, especially my teenage girls. They’ve watched me go through this with all the ups and downs, and it’s been a terrifying ride for them. I kept telling all my kids that Satan would try to use this to get to them. So, they need to stay strong in their faith and not allow Satan to win. They’ve done really well throughout all of this. I’m very proud of them, as I’m sure your mom is proud of you!Sandi Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133590559340429928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-60441947062572355012012-03-08T18:38:31.122-05:002012-03-08T18:38:31.122-05:00RUTH ANN and CHRISTINA - We are so glad God spared...RUTH ANN and CHRISTINA - We are so glad God spared Sandi and gave her a second chance and that her kids have their sweet mommy!Carrie Fancett Pagelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096954464239963966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-60108420448022974342012-03-08T10:05:39.398-05:002012-03-08T10:05:39.398-05:00Sandy, thank you for opening up and sharing about ...Sandy, thank you for opening up and sharing about what's going on in your personal life. What a miraculous testimony God's given you! My mom passed away from cancer 16 years ago, and I've often wondered what was going through her mind during those last few weeks. Now that I'm a mom, I imagine the agony it must have been for her knowing she'd not be part of her kids lives to help raise and nurture them. <br /><br />I'm so glad God has given you this new lease on life and that you'll be able to have more time with your family. What a priceless gift...Thanks again for your honest words-rejoicing with you over God's goodness! :)<br />hammyflirt@hotmail.comChristina Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868104433001898391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-23803083917974239462012-03-08T02:05:38.568-05:002012-03-08T02:05:38.568-05:00Wow!

I also had to do it and mean it, but once I had done this I had peace and assurance.

It isn’t always easy to talk about without crying. GAIL, it’s true! We don’t always understand the depth of “letting go.” It reminds me of the walls of Jericho. God wanted to do it ALL. We should let Him! Lol It certainly makes life easier! :-)<br /><br />CARRIE, you’re so wonderful for keeping up on everyone for me while I was gone. You’re one of those gals who is MY inspiration! Xxx<br /><br />LAURA! I got one of your books on my Kindle! I can’t wait to read it! It sounds a bit similar to mine where the hero is half Native American. I’m really looking forward to it! Thank you for all your encouraging words! And that beautiful cover is all compliments of my awesome publisher WhiteFire. They’ve been absolutely wonderful!<br /><br />PATTY I sure hope my writing can be pleasing to God and have added depth. The only way to do that is through lots of prayer as I put pen to paper. And MARY ANN I’m so glad you could stop by! Your prayers have meant the world to me!<br /><br />DAVALYN, I love your name! I’m so glad my testimony could encourage you. JULIE it’s so exciting to see you here! Thank you for your excitement! Yes! God IS in control! I just need to remember that. So often I try to take the control back, but I tell Him to hold on to it ‘cause I don’t want it. That’s really more for me, since I know He’s doing what I asked no matter what. I want His will to be done in my life, not my own will. <br /><br />ANNE you’re so right! The gates of heaven have been stormed on my behalf. I can’t tell you how much all your prayers have meant to me. You all have shown me God’s love. And thank you for your continued prayers, I need them. It’s so hard to regain strength when I still feel so weak. But God is able, and He will hold my hand. :-)<br /><br />FAYE, I sure hope you can get your hands on my books. I’d love for you to read them! NAOMI what a wonderful surprise to see you here! It’s so great to see you, and honestly, I’m so looking forward to reading your upcoming release! I didn’t sign up to be one of your “influencers” for a free book because I plan on buying it! I know how nice it is to get at least one extra sale! :-) Can’t wait!<br /><br />LYN I sure hope God has lots more for me to do. We’ll see what He wants. :-) He is amazing. He’s already amazed me just by the love and prayers that have come from all those I know and don’t know. He’s blown me away.<br /><br />JO, yes, we serve an awesome God! He deserved praise, whether things go our way or not. LORI it’s so true! I wondered why I didn’t give God the reins a lot sooner. I find that I have to do it over and over again. Not because God can’t handle it, but because I keep snatching them back! Old habits die hard. <br /><br />JANELLA I’m so glad you could be here, and that beautiful cover is because I have an awesome publisher! WhiteFire is the best! <br /><br />CARRIE bless you for covering for me while I was gone.

It really is a relief to let go and let God. It takes so much off our own shoulders! And I believe that’s what God ultimately wants. He’s an awesome God!<br /><br />MARIAN, you are such a blessing. It does my heart good to see you here, especially because you’re from the Country I love, the Country that’s a part of my family, and the Country that will always be a home away from home. Boy, I’m starting to feel homesick!<br /><br />DIANA thank you for the blessing you’ve been to me during this difficult time, whether during the cancer or during this time of recovery. I want to run and do all the things I used to do, but I’m learning I have to be patient with myself. Sigh Not easy!<br /><br />MARISSA, I’m so glad my testimony could encourage you! And BARBARA thank you for reminding me of that verse! It’s funny how sometimes I forget that applies to me and not someone else, someone “better.” Ya know? I’ve honestly learned a lot from all my Christian writer friends. They’ve shown me more love than I dreamed possible. <br /><br />MARYLU, I was so excited to see you here! Everyone, I’m a BIG fan of MaryLu’s books! She writes the kind of fiction I love to read with all the romance and adventure my heart desires!<br /><br />Oh, PAM. I know where you’re coming from with your son being so far away. My oldest is planning to leave for collage this Fall and it’s breaking my heart! I feel like I’ve already lost a year with her, and now she’s about to leave. <br /><br />KALLIE, yes our history is amazing to me. We’ve always been about the “land of the free,” and to this day, we’ve overlooked what happen to all the Native American tribes. It breaks my heart how they were treated by our forefathers. <br /><br />JANICE thank you! I could use some prayers now as I start my next book. TERESA you know exactly how we felt when we got news that the cancer couldn’t be found. I’m so glad your husband has been cancer free for so long! That’s wonderful, and a huge encouragement to me!Sandi Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133590559340429928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-41797113252199104812012-03-06T11:36:58.563-05:002012-03-06T11:36:58.563-05:00ANNE, FAYE, and NAOMI, Thanks for coming by!

It is a tough lesson to learn, but letting go and letting God is powerful when we can finally leave it with Him to take care of. I have been there many times and each time I wondered why I did not do it sooner - guess it is our human nature to think we can do better. I thank God of your news of being in remission and pray He will use your story of healing to touch the lives of others you encounter.
