Life isn't always tied with a ribbon, but it sure is a gift.
Thank you Lord for 26 months and beyond! :)

As I go through another rough road in my life (not that i'm over it in the first place), I pray that our dear Lord will continue to guide me and give me peace as He had in the past 20 months.
To my prayer warriors, thank you for ur unwavering support.
Praying for an uneventful c-administration today.

Please continue to lift up Chevy and my family in prayer.  Chevy's recent PET-CT scan showed progression of her cancer.  More chemotherapy is being planned.  We are blessed to have so many people praying for Chevy.  Please pray for peace and perseverance in our faith, and also for God's continued provision.  We serve an awesome God!  http://chevy.posterous.com

Psalm 46:1  God is our refuge and strength,
       an ever-present help in trouble.

Psalm 30:2   O LORD my God, I called to you for help

       and you healed me.

Psalm 91

 ¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

 ² I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
       my God, in whom I trust."

 ³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
       and from the deadly pestilence.

 ⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
       and under his wings you will find refuge;
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 ⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
       nor the arrow that flies by day,

 ⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

 ⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
       ten thousand at your right hand,
       but it will not come near you.

 ⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
       and see the punishment of the wicked.

 ⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

 ¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
       no disaster will come near your tent.

 ¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
       to guard you in all your ways;

 ¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
       so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

 ¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
       you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 ¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

 ¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
       I will be with him in trouble,
       I will deliver him and honor him.

 ¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
       and show him my salvation."

Please join me and my family in continually praying for Chevy.  She has another PET-CT coming up this Thursday, 7/22/2010.  Thank you and God bless you all!  ~Cheryl

Praising God for Chevy's second birthday (June 29) since this trial came upon us.  She celebrated it with family in Legaspi, Albay, home of Mt. Mayon volcano which is known for its almost perfect cone.  Thank you to all her faithful prayer warriors.

Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he had promised.   Romans 4:20-21

Friends,

It seems like my family's trials are unending.  I implore you again to please remember Chevy and my family in your prayers.  I know that a lot of you are praying for her regularly, and I pray God bless you for that.

Chevy had another PET scan this week and it showed new nodules in her lungs.  Her doctor is unclear if this is increased cancer activity or possibly an infection.  They can't do more chemo until another 3 months.  My mother had an abnormal chest x-ray that showed a major abnormality as well.  It is still unclear if this is a seriously communicable lung disease or a tumor.  My brother continues to have problems with glaucoma control.  I struggle with several medical problems as well which seem puny in light of all that the rest of my family is going through.

My foremost prayer is that we will all draw nearer to God as a result of this, be persevering in prayer, and that our faith will be proven genuine.  Secondly, complete deliverance from cancer for Chevy, and healing for my mom and brother. 

My heartfelt gratitude for your love, prayers, and friendship.

Cheryl

James 1:2-8
 ²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

Chevy during a recent trip to Macau with my mom and brother

when I hear of people dying, I get affected and will be sad for while.
Then I'd be happy and thankful to our good Lord for all that He has
done for me the past 15 months. All glory and praises to Him who's the
author and creator of my life! Pls continue to pray that He'll
continue to bless me with more years ... :-)
