The Celebration

Last Friday, I celebrated my five year anniversary with family and friends.  God provided great weather, and lots of joy.  All of the guests have been influencial is helping me get through the last five years by either making meals, driving me to treatments, or providing moral support.  I am very blessed to have these friends, and many more, on my side.  Most of all everyone has provided prayer, which I believe to be the best way of fighting off cancer, and the fear that comes with it.  I loved this card that I received this week, and I echo the words that nothing beats the power of prayer.

No ocean can hold it back,
No river can over take it.
No whirlwind can go faster,
No army can defeat it.
No law can stop it,
No distance can slow it.
No disease can cripple it,
No force on Earth is more powerful or effective,
Than the power of prayer.

It is truly a privilege to be able to go before God and pray for others, and it is a humbling experience when you know that hundreds are going before God on behalf of you.  I have no doubt that the power of prayer has brought me to this point where I can celebrate.  I have seen God's hand in big ways and small, and I am eternally grateful for the hope that He has given me, and many others.

Blessings,
Sandy
