You are so real - authentic and honest - I strive to be that in my writings and in my conversations with people - and I am still working on it - after years of being "guarded". But when faced with a great "testing" such as you and Ray are faced with - I know it has forced you to let down any walls you may have had before - to allow people into your lives. I have been faced with a "testing" of my own - so can greatly relate to you and your journey. Blessings on you - you have a great support system - and are loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628903244626553483.post-54312906119649872032009-04-29T09:31:00.000-07:002009-04-29T09:31:00.000-07:00Carla, you and Ray are in my prayers.

I lived and breathed this scripture while dealing with my mother's ovarian cancer...You and Ray came into my mind and my heart today during class. I am in nursing classes and we are studying the male reporductive system and sure enough, prostate cancer came up. I stopped my taking of notes and put my head down and said a prayer for you both. The doctor asked if I was okay, and I told him that I have an Online friend who going through this right now. He went into detail then about this type of cancer and was very positive with what he had to say. He also stated very matter of fact: Give it to God and let Him take care of it! I was shocked, this coming from a doctor in a public college, that it brought me to tears, to know that God works everywhere we need Him.<br /><br />Remember, Be still and know that I am God! Love to you both. Sorry for the long rant.<br /><br />Laura Reicher<br />PartyexchangeLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820199822539182590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628903244626553483.post-71530817513929550412009-04-29T08:28:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:28:00.000-07:00Oh Carla, you and Ray are so precious to me and I ...Oh Carla, you and Ray are so precious to me and I would love to wave my magic wand and make this whole for you. But that's God's domain and I can pray. I don't know what it's like to face this, but I do know what it's like to face a serious illness of a loved one. My dd's heart condition. I prayed and prayed and worried and stressed. But God did heal her and I know He will heal Ray. It's normal for us to be afraid for those we love in the face of illness. But God is a God who gives hope and in that hope I rest and trust and pray you feel it from where you stand.Rich and JoJo Tabareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742131136597093858noreply@blogger.com
