Hi Friends, how are you?? Mary is out doing her homework jamming to some love song....we found love right where we are ....Today was the first day of her second semester. There have been some people heavy on my heart. Sometimes when my time hop app pops up there will be an entry from three years ago and as I read it, I find myself right back on that day. I am so thankful that we are not still in that place and yet I am reminded of the many people who are on that day in their lives TODAY!!! The questioning, the fear, the uncertainty, the pain, the fear and the fight for faith. Searching for answers and trying with all that is within you to believe Gods promises and to TRUST!! This is my post from Oct. 30, 2011....just 7 days after our world was turned upside down and shaken! Our baby girl Mary Helen was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia....I am sure you can hear the fear and sadness in my voice and heart as you read it. ........Well...we are home. Who would have guessed that a week ago today we thought Mary had a sinus infection and just was not getting better. I would be lying if I said that as I put my hand on her little neck last Sunday morning and felt how swollen her little neck was, that I did not at that time cry out to Jesus. Please Lord let her be ok. Let this not be anything serious. I laid my hands on it and wept before I left for church. Mary said, Mamma dont cry I am ok. 7 hrs. later we were in an emergency room being told that our baby girl had a large tumor in her neck and cancer in her blood. We were rushed down to Mott Childrens hospital where we received the news that Mary Helen Mar-Mar had T-cell Leukemia. To watch her go through the week she has gone through amazes me. You....Team Mary, friends, and family have stood in the gap for us. You have prayed when we couldnt, you have sent encouraging notes,letters, and texts when we couldnt stop crying and you have uplifted us with your kindness, generosity and support. Mark and I are overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring amount of love we have been given. But most of all.....more than anything the prayer support we feel. Jesus is walking before us and is following behind with every step we take. Thank you friends so very much for your love. We will lay our heads on our pillows tonight TRUSTING our heavenly father to heal our baby girl. Sweet dreams and please dont stop praying! Well there it is....I can put myself right back into that moment!! But today I am comforted by this song...I Look To You by Selah. Listen to the words My levees are broken My walls have come crumbling down on me The rain is falling, defeat is calling I need you to set me free Take me far away from the battle I need you to shine on me! I look to you, I look to you After all my strength is gone In you I can be strong I look to you, I look to you And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song I look to you So friends, if you are barely hanging on....look to HIM, when all your strength is gone...LOOK TO HIM!!! I
