Strong Enough

Hey there everyone!  Just wanted to take a minute to post a song that has spoken to Daisy like crazy (hee, hee, I'm such a poet) since she began her treatments.  It's called "Strong Enough" and was written by Matthew West.  The story behind the lyrics can be found here at matthewwest.com/2011/03/30/strong-enough/.  This song has meant so much to Daisy and I know that she will want you to hear the story behind it, but now on to HER story!  The "Encouraging Miss Daisy Benefit Dinner" is this Friday evening, June 17th, at the First Christian Church in Carrollton, MO.  It begins at 5:00 pm in the church basement on the west side which is Monroe Street.  There will also be a "drive thru" on the East side of the church which is Folger Street.  Both options are a free will donation.  We understand if you want to use the drive through and take your meal home; however, in the basement you will have the opportunity to take a prayer commitment card and sign her prayer quilt and also to buy one of her signature t-shirts.  Which takes me back to the song, "Strong Enough"!  Everyone knows that God has gifted Daisy with an amazing artistic talent.  She coupled that with her love of music when creating the design for the t-shirt and these one of a kind shirts will be available for order that evening for ten dollars apiece.  There are sizes for the entire family from toddler to adult. 

Before I sign off I want to add a verse of scripture that spoke to me today.  It is Psalm 34:19

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them.

  When I don't have the words to pray God is always faithful to give me HIS WORD and then I can't go wrong.  I hope this helps as you all are praying for Daisy as well. 

A word from Daisy

Hello Everyone

Ok so I know that everyone is in a state of unbelief and how can this be true.  I know that everyone cares for me and that you don't want to see me go through this AGAIN!  Well me NEITHER!  So we can all ask the questions why and we can all cry and cry or be mad and throw things, but I want to see more from you.  God created each and everyone of us and this world is so full of pain and struggles, but My God is awesome!  He carries me through everything!  All of us hurt!  All of us cry!  All of us want to have love and joy!  The only way to that truly fulfilling unconditional love is with Jesus Christ.  My Lord and Savior. 

So here is the most important part!  Where are you in your faith with God?  Have you accepted Jesus Christ as the only way?  The Bible says no one comes to the Father (Heavenly) except through Jesus!  I care for not only your life here on earth, but more so your eternity.  I want to go to Heaven and see all my family and friends there.  So if there is any doubt that eternity with God is not what you know is going to happen, then people we need to talk.  Galations 2:20 says, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me!

Now for the treatment....
I have to go once a week.  I will be taking Herceptin, Taxol, and a trial Chemo pill.  The doctor thinks I will have less side affects this time, but I will believe it when it happens.  Dr. is very confident that these meds will get my disease under control.  My cancer is currently in my liver and possibly in several lymph nodes in my chest.  I start all this  the Wednesday after Memorial weekend.  Thank you all for your prayers and support.  More info will come later.  Love you!
