Dear Friends,
I am a firm believer that God gives us little lessons in our lives to help us along on our Journey. Today, I would like to share a story about my daughter’s friend, Caty, and her journey. A few weeks ago Morgan received a phone call from one of her close friends telling her that their friend Caty had just returned from her doctors visit and they were going to admit her into the hospital the following Monday for test on a cyst that was located in her back. They feared that is might be cancer.

A few weeks ago Morgan received a phone call from one of her close friends telling her that their friend Caty had just returned from her doctors visit and they were going to admit her into the hospital the following Monday for test on a cyst that was located in her back. They feared that is might be cancer.
A few days later, Morgan and Addie went to the hospital to visit, while they were there, she received the news that her tumor was indeed cancer. She learned that she had a form of cancer called Ewing’s Sarcoma and she would begin a long duration of treatment. Instead of the girls being asked to leave, her parents invited them back into the room. There they sat together and prayed with her. To Morgan’s amazement, she talked of her faith and growing relationship with God. She talked of words of encouragement and how she was going to “tackle” this head on.
Then she said the most wonderful thing, she reflected on her times at church camp and how they had talked about their purpose. She then told them that she realizes her purpose was to bring people closer to God. There in that hospital room, 13 years old and just being diagnosed with cancer, she realized her purpose was to help others. This story moved me. Caty was able to leave the hospital for a few days before starting “Chemo Camp” as she calls it and decided to cut her beautiful long red hair and donate it to Locks of Love, still thinking of others. I have decided to try to share Caty’s story of faith and encouragement to everyone. I am asking for people to add her to their Prayer Request at their church, to your blogs, and to send her letters of encouragement. I would love to see how far her message is received.
