Refreshing Words of Faith, Hope and Love - The Letter
Life begins with faith, hope and love. Is it ironic that when we leave this place we leave drinking from the same cup? God is able my friend ; believe it until the end. Despite the prognosis or the report. We are more than conquerors. As I sit here and type a letter for you, I think back on my journey from stage 1 to 4. This letter is not to give light to your path, for only the Lord should do that. But this letter is from my soul to yours to give credence to the call of the brave. Only the brave stand to look breast cancer square in the eyes and fight it for what it is. It is a disease that tries to destroy families, communities and nations. The worst thing you can ever give a women fighting for her life is a pink ribbon. Instead give her permission to be optimistic; give her a crown to cover her head; give her friendship that's tested, tried and true.
This letter can't be a torch to pass on because this relay must end. This letter I write to you as my life ends and your journey begins is my cup to refresh you. Begin your journey knowing that God is able only if you allow Him to reign supreme in your life. There above the cancer, above the test results and above your fears. God is Almighty and only He can eradicate breast cancer. This letter is your authorization to enforce faith, evoke your rights as a child of God and to claim your reward. God is able. Stephanie

Dear Steph- I just stumbled upon your absolutely beautiful letter that has lifted me to Praise God more in my life from this day forward! You are what I aspire to be... A true child of God!!! My continued prayers are with you and all those around you. You are such a gift to the world and you are sprinkling Gods words amongst all your sisters on this board. It is what life should be all about! You are our teacher. God Bless- Dunner

Stephanie, There is a disabled man who collects aluminum cans in my town. He sings a song as he goes that I am sure you have heard before.... "Yes, God is able to do whatsover you ask, in the name of the Lord you will always be blessed, Yes God is able to do whatsoever you ask if when only you ask you believe." Something like that. He is able and I am so glad you are his child. Your strength and courage humble me. Remember Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..... Thank you so much for this letter. We will cherish it always. May God continue to hold you... pam

Stephanie, That letter is so inspiring. I, too, believe that God id able and we are able to do all things through Him. We only have to ask. When I was diagnosed, I turned everything over to Him and He did a remarkable job carrying me thorugh all the treatments. Now I am 2 years out, I hope that I can do a good job for Him telling people how awesome He is and how wonderful He is. Your faith and conviction has always been an inspiration to me. You have helped me out many times and you haven't even known it. Thank you for everything and I pray that God gives you the courage to face the future and I thank Him that you are a child of His. Please keep us posted on your fight. We are fighting every step of the way with you, with God standing strong beside us. We love you. Bonny

Thanks Stephanie
