I know my work on earth isn't quite complete, so I'm hoping for a few more years to prove worth.

I can't imagine what you must have felt during the whole experience and yet you offer me comfort and peace. God bless you and thanks for the links. I'll look them up. I've been listening to a number of talks about adversity and challenges to find that strength that comes from knowing who we are, why were here on earth and where we'll go after death. <br />Thanks.CMalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909704462592680886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-36886194874006831672009-07-30T09:09:09.201-07:002009-07-30T09:09:09.201-07:00Debbie,

It would be like having your heart cut right out of your chest. What a positive person you've been through all that. I admire your strength of character and will to go on. Thank you for everything you've done for me in these frustrating days of my trial.CMalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909704462592680886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-70612181979722252292009-07-30T09:07:27.062-07:002009-07-30T09:07:27.062-07:00Ruth,

But that wouldn't do any of us much good. So we face up to each day and move on. You have had some horrific challenges and still have hope.

Thanks for you kind, encouraging words. So...Steve, <br />Thanks for you kind, encouraging words. Sometimes I wonder about my understanding of the gospel. But it took Tim's question to really make me thing who and when I knew the Lord loved me. There was no cosmic blast, no bursting sunlight revelation, just quiet simple moments that makes you go "Ah-hah!"CMalonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909704462592680886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-9582808738452106002009-07-29T22:36:56.953-07:002009-07-29T22:36:56.953-07:00I am grateful for your post and the honesty behind...I am grateful for your post and the honesty behind your words. I am a Ewing Sarcoma cancer survivor (It can be done!) and my heart goes out to you for what you are going through. Here are the links to two talks that had a profound effect on me as I pondered them in the hospital:<br /><br />http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=9bd676e6ffe0c010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD<br /><br />http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=288d76e6ffe0c010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD<br /><br />I will pray for you that you will come to know God in your extremities. Because this happened to me I can look back on being diagnosed with cancer with gratitude (as crazy as that sounds).<br /><br />p.s. If you're having troubles with eating, Marinol was a miracle drug for me. It fights nausea and gives you "the munchies".Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518885094924034671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-60954529327556236762009-07-28T21:37:17.106-07:002009-07-28T21:37:17.106-07:00Carol, our prayers are with you!!!!

It wasn't his time to go, and he'll be the first to tell you that he learned a little about suffering, and we as parents learned about watching a beloved son suffer, as our Heavenly Father had to do when his only begotten Son suffered & died. You have AMAZING strength, courage, and a GREAT sense of humor & you are loved!! xox, Debbie Freitas oxoDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15546612672014532218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-78914778492424931312009-07-28T17:16:11.079-07:002009-07-28T17:16:11.079-07:00Thank you for this most wonderful, inspiring, and ...Thank you for this most wonderful, inspiring, and uplifting post. As I sit in Russell's hospital room, I have thought about you many times and hope and pray that you are comforted. We too believe that nothing happens by chance or coincidence.. these tests are placed before us to test us and to try us so that we may prove ourselves. It sounds to me like you are passing with flying colors!<br /><br />Please know that our prayers are with you and Tim both. It can be hard for both of you just in different ways. We love you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-7097562912485906712009-07-28T08:34:01.453-07:002009-07-28T08:34:01.453-07:00*hugs* So sorry you're having to go through a...*hugs* So sorry you're having to go through all of this. Grandma always said, "This too shall pass." In one way or another, we know it will, right?<br /><br />Having been to Spencer's new member Sunday School class the last few weeks have led me to some interesting understandings of the Atonement and Resurrection of Christ. No one was there to comfort him on the cross. There were those among the crowd who could witness and support him in that manner, but when it comes down to it, he was truly alone for the first time in his mortal life. He chose to die FOR US. <br /><br />So, of course he understands our pain. He knows the loneliness of our disease and ailments. And unlike his suffering, he's always there for us.<br /><br />We'll keep you in our prayers!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908320764726278174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959130432208251649.post-27284806941749451182009-07-28T07:03:39.090-07:002009-07-28T07:03:39.090-07:00Carol, you have my best wishes and you will be in ...Carol, you have my best wishes and you will be in my prayers.
