Corinne, I am sorry you have such a plaguey road to travel, but I am cheered by your decision to write. Learning about the specifics of your conditions matters to me. I feel the strength of your faith and the joy it brings you. You are in my prayers, of course. I'll be coming to Rochester February 11 for my 100 day checkup. If you are still there, I'll see you then.

Corrine,

As usual you paint pictures with your words... they are powerful and moving. This update did not disappoint. I am sad that I did not realize that you died in October. I am more sure that the Lord has great plans for you. I pray and agree with you for complete healing. I love you and I am grateful for who you are... you are strong, wise and so compassionate. I look forward to reading your book. I love the Old Testament. Psalms, Proverbs and Isaiah and Ruth and Genesis are my favorites. Psalms 91 gave me hope when I was afraid to live... he was protecting me.

My life's motto, that "thing" that makes the world make sense to me is this - there is no such thing as an accident, everything happens for a reason, and no one goes before their time. I also believe that the whole purpose of life is to learn about love, and you only get the lesson after seeing it from different perspectives. Plus, the Universe's timing is not our own. Patience and faith are required, as well as intense study into what this lesson is about. You get your answers from the Bible. I get mine from animals, circumstances, situations. The Universe speaks whatever language you can understand, if only we pay attention. Awareness of the lesson being learned is the biggest part. Once you know why you are where you're at, the rest comes along. I say this from the last 2 years of experience dealing with my own lessons, standing in the middle of nothingness. My lesson is learning to let go of the past, and to be thd captain of my own ship. For the majority of my life, I have been defined by other people. No relationship would ever last, because I couldn't hold the facade of being whomever someone else decided I should be. I know you will get through this, verified by your questions, and willingness to hear the Universe's messages. Especially with the support of those in your life. They allow you the space, time and energy to walk your path. That is a huge gift.

I'm glad to hear that your LDH has continued improving! I'm praying for wisdom & direction for the team and strength & peace for you. You are such a strong, independent woman, I know it must be difficult to let go when you don't know what God is doing. But He's still listening and has a plan for you. I love you!
