I am in such awe of God, as He heals my body. I am in such awe of His love and grace and peace that He has given to me.
Sometimes I will admit that my peace is disturbed and I have to get a hold of myself again and realize that the Word of God will not fail. It will never fail.
Lately, I haven't had anything fun to write about. This trial has been difficult to say the very least. Every day I seem to be faced with new challenges.
I honestly don't know what I would have done without all of you praying for me. I appreciate it so much. I still need your prayers. This is a fight for my life, as you know.
I am praying for each of you, as you have prayed for me. I know and can feel sometimes when I wonder where God is that someone out there is praying for me at any given hour. Wow! What an honor.
I'll blog more later. BY HIS STRIPES!
Some of you may remember the old song - it is also a healing scripture verse...
For He was wounded for our trangressions;
He was bruised for our iniquities;
Surely He bore our sorrows;
And by His stripes I am healed!
Isaiah 53:5

Hello "By His Stripes"..
Sara and the Lord have given you a new name Arlene!!
I think that Jesus really, really trusts you because He has given you so many trials and He will not give you aything more that what you can bear.
You think that we have all been a help to you but don't you realize what a help you have been to US?
I feel the same way that Heather does and that people have told her that her sickness has given us more srength.
Praying for you is making us stronger.
We have so little to suffer compared to what you have and we should have NOTHING to complain about!
You are a blessing Arlene... to US!!...Love Terry
That song/verse will constantly play though my mind and spirit as I pray for you and others who need a healing touch from God. It has been such a privledge to pray for you- your healing is bringing healing to others. Hallelujah!!
I am so glad you have such an undergirding of prayer warriors on you and Barry's behalf. The burden upon my heart is for Amber, Chad and kids, for this affects them as well. They need to be undergirded with strength, wisdom, and healing, courage and boldness too. Want you to know they are being covered, bathed in prayer.
Terry, thank you so much for your kind comments. Without a doubt, this has been hard, but then when you think of the disciples and others that lived in the Bible days, I am sure it is nothing. I guess I never looked at it that He really trusts me this much...thank God I believe I will come out of this victorious! I believe, His Word says and and that settles it! Love and appreciate you so much!
AMEN! you are healed! I can't seem to get you off my mind. you and your family. I want you to know that even though my walk is for Breast Cancer, I am walking for you too!! On my shirts for each day will be Is 53:5
Pat, you know that I so appreciate your prayers and your love. Ours is such a special relationship that comes only from God. I love your family too. They have come together for me and I can't even express the words that I feel for that. Without a doubt...By His Stripes! I'm so excited to see what God is going to do! I know you guys always pray for Chad and Am and the kids too and I really do appreciate it so very, very, much. Your special friend!
Debra, I totally agree that Chad, Am and the kids need everyone's prayers too and many of the posts say that people are praying for them and lifting them up too. I am so thankful for that. I am thankful you are covering them in prayer too, cause no one can cover their children like their Momma can. Thank you for being such a good "mother" to my daughter and of course "son" and such a good grandma to the kids. We all love you! Thank you also for all of the prayers that you have prayed for me and Barry. Love and prayers!
Margie, Sara told me that you were walking for me also. I am so touched and humbled at your love for me and my family. Without a doubt I am so excited to see what God is going to do. While He is doing something special in me, I also see Him doing something special in you and your persistence in Him will get you through anything you may ever have to go through yourself. I love and appreciate you so very, very, much!
A big hug to you Arlene. Your patience, fortitude and trust have been such an example to me as i face problems in my daily life.
A friend of ours had a mastectomy last winter, she lost all her hair after chemo.She kept going as she is a firm believer in the Lord. She is a dean of a lady 's college of Home Ec.
You know what Arlene?
I am sorry to say that Mrs.Mac and Miss Patty and Sara have all been laid off as my stepping stones to get to you because last night in the wee hours of the morning, I learned how to put on my favorite links, and now you are right at my finger tips!!
I just don't know how ever I am going to tell my forever friend, Noel Lewis that I will have to lay HIM off too!
After all that dear boy has been slaving for a whole year almost, putting the links in for me whenever I asked him!
The look of my blog is what he also did for me.
Well please have a good day and just know, "By His Stripes" that we are all still praying for you and Barry....Love Terry
flyby hugging :)
Hi Arlene, no you don't have to write about anything. We all appreciate the effort you put forth just in keeping us friends informed of your progress and tribulations.
We would pray for you, and your family, period. But it is nice to hear of answered prayers. We all are so happy you were rescued in that ER by that very attentive doctor. He alone was such a great answer!
And you don't need to return answer my comment, I'll make like JEL and call this a flyby hugging :)
..
i'm here everyday, either to read your words or to pause and pray "with" you. how grateful i am for those old songs that remind of of plastic green pews, cool under my hands and that soaring cathedral ceilings with the wooden beams. in my mind, the choir loft still has green curtains! how privileged we are to have been planted together. we love you.
Dear Arlene, I hope that you are feeling well enough to have a blessed Sunday.
We are keeping your appointment days and times in our prayers...Love Terry
By HIS Stripes!! My Lord those children are so precious..and I am just so amazed at Amber's kids...she was my kid in church..boohoo! give her a hug and kiss from me! I agree, they do make beautiful babies!
Now for YOU!!! You go girl...so glad you are eating..cant wait to see your pretty hair grow back, probably curly..like Ron's did! hehe! Standing daily praying and believing God in 3 months..tumors are gone! I will not except anything different!
