Tears -

Yes, I have cried. At first my tears were out of fear, today my tears are out of love. I have been touched by so many people already, so early after my diagnosis. My eyes well up each time someone gives me encouragement and hope.
My prayer last night was for my heart to be open to God's will and blessings - that I may receive them willingly, honestly. And that I may be a witness to His greatness. I have received so many blessings!
My devotion today told me to find the place in my heart where He lives and my task today is to "be quiet" and prepare to listen to His will.
Anyone who has been through this knows - waiting is the hardest thing to do. I understand now, that waiting is really "preparing".

Ellen,
You fill our thoughts and are in our countless prayers. 'God will make a way' is a favorite line of a song and He will see you through. You know that we are only a phone call away if there is ANYTHING we can do.
Love,
Nancy

When I saved your blog site to "My favorites" it saved as Ellen's Homepage. I am touched by this as it is evident that your heart is at home with your faith and friends. You continually amaze me as you create a blog for others as you start this part of your journey. I appreciate you.
