Thank you all for the uplifting comments and all the encouragement. It&#8217;s great how at times of crisis people rally together. Everyone has been so helpful while we are going through this and it&#8217;s greatly appreciated! Well we visited my mom after school today. When we arrived she was feeling nauseous, but looked much better. After getting some medicine she felt better. By the end of our visit she had been moved to a chair, was sitting up and was feeling perkier.<br \/>\nAt times like these thoughts of why us enter our heads. God has allowed this to happen for a reason, just what is it? All things work together for good. We have to remember that through whatever happens. I think that things such as cancer happen to remind us who we are. We are not in control. We are creatures, not the creator. We are not in charge of our own lives. We have no power. At least that&#8217;s what I think.<br \/>\nJob 1:20-21<br \/>\nAt this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship<br \/>\n21 and said:<br \/>\n&#8220;Naked I came from my mother&#8217;s womb,<br \/>\nand naked I will depart.<br \/>\nThe LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;<br \/>\nmay the name of the LORD be praised.&#8221;<br \/>\nMay the Lord be praised no matter what.<br \/>\nThis is Sarah, signing off. God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah here again. Thank you all for the uplifting comments and all the encouragement.
