Tomorrow is another chemo day….time seems to go so fast and yet so slow. I’m amazed that tomorrow I go again. One more round done. I do look forward to that part (one more round being done) and so I embrace tomorrow. I also don’t look forward to tomorrow because I have had so many good days in a row where I felt almost ‘normal’ again! I know that after tomorrow I’ll go through the whole process again, but I look forward to the good days yet again.
Thanks for all those who wrote what they were thankful for. It was awesome to read all the blessings we have! I wish that I could respond to each one of you, and please know that I would if I could! Thank you for writing in. It’s so neat to read your comments and to think on the relationships that I have with you–cousin, ‘old’ friend or aquaintance, ‘new’ friend, family. I’m blessed by all of you. We still stand amazed at all the support we continue to get and to feel. We still so very much appreciate the prayers and love showed by so many. God bless you.
Peace and love,
Marisa

Hey Marisa & Mendelt,
Amazing. Embracing and pushing away at the same time. Never thought someone could embrace something about cancer…but I guess that depends on your perspective. God has blessed you richly with a glimpse of His perspective.
I’ll be thinking of you on Tuesday…you’ll be in my prayers. Much strength and peace to both…

Dear M and M, ZJZ
Today you undergo yet another treatment – but are rejoicing that it marks another round done! Praise the Lord!
I am so thankful that you look at the bright side of things Marisa and that with the strength of the Lord you are able persevere and fight the good fight in faith.
I am thankful for the sunshine and rain, for health and strength, for a god-fearing husband and beautiful children, for family and friends that we share faith in Jesus Christ with. I am thankful for every breath I take. Above all, I am thankful, just as you are, for the free gift of salvation that we have received through our faithful Saviour’s atoning death on the cross! May we be faithful followers of Him!
May God continue to uphold you and your family and give you all you stand in need of as you battle on.
Praying for continued healing and the richest source of strength that only God can give.
Love you dearly,
Cheryl, Andrew and sons

Just so good to hear from you. The countdown is on!! Our friend Mark Huizinga here in GR is having his second last round of chemo (started yesterday). They are having a huge blow out “we’re done chemo party” in July.. It is definitely something to celebrate!
Keep your chin up little Meesie. Don’t ever doubt that we are praying as much as ever!

I hope and pray that you will be given strength and patience and that this treatment today will battle the cancer effectively. Know that our thoughts and prayers go with you in the days to come. I am so thankful that God has blessed with some days that are “normal”. Keep up the fight Marisa.
Blessings to all of you,

When we come to the edge of the light we know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, of this we can be sure… Either God will provide something solid to stand on or …. We will be taught to fly.
I didn’t write that. Neither did Rusty. Don’t know who did.
Love and peace,
Leona (and Rusty)

Hello. I just wanted to wish you luck on your day of chemo tommorow, its hard for me to imagine what chemo is like, im curious what its like, but i know that it is such a hard, stressful and painful thing. But then again, we shouldnt be dreading on what is going to happen, we should be thinking of all the people that are here for you, and think of everything else that makes you feel good. You are always in my prayers,
