What a way to come back to blogging, I know. But of all the worthwhile things to talk/blog/pray/discuss, this is a good/bad one.
That is why I am asking all of my devoted followers (okay, so after 6 months of no new stories, I am sure everyone has given up, but if there is just one soul left, that might be just what I need) One of my heroes, an amazing lady from our "home ward" (4 years moved, I probably only know 1/8 of the current ward, but it is still home) has a biopsy scheduled this month for possible breast cancer. This woman is phenomenal. She is the most eloquent, well written, thoughtful, willing to do anything for anyone, person I know. She and her husband have been married for almost 20 years. They have not been able to have children (though they had endured numerous miscarriages), but continue to be optimistic. They run an "old-fashioned" printing press from their garage (absolutely gorgeous, by the way). (We have a print they did for our ward for Christmas one year. There is a picture of the nativity with the scriptures from Luke.) Anyway, I wish I could in some way endear her to you as she is to me.
So, if you have stuck this out with me so far, could I ask you to Fast for her this Sunday. Her requests would be for 1) Miracle :) 2) Benign or 3) Malignant, but contained and operable with complete recovery.
It is crazy how some Fast Sundays come and go without much thought or direction, and others that seem so important. Thanks for hearing me out, I promise to get back on the blogging wagon, no promises as to how often, but definitely without breaks as long as the last :)
