Journal entry by Virgi Sharp —
Dear Friends,
I have been at Hope Lodge in Cincinnati for a little over a week, I am thankful for this facility, thankful to be home on weekends, thankful for Christy who is looking after Kayla while I am away, thankful for my dear friend Ann who brings me here Sunday nights and takes me home on Fridays after she gets off work. It has been difficult to be away from Kayla and she is having a rough time, could you please keep her close to your hearts and in your prayers. I am looking forward to being home in a few weeks for good.
I have so many things to be thankful for, this has been a challenging season and it definitely brings new perspectives every day. I have a few obstacles before me with my health, chemo was not kind and has caused several issued, my hysterectomy caused a hernia, TMJ is worse etc. Add to that our uncertainty about housing and other financial stressors. My doctors have all been adamant that I need to find ways to reduce stress in my life. I know God holds us in His hands and trust He will continue to bring me through this season. As you can imagine I am anxious (trying not to be!) to be finished with the treatment portion of this journey.
I appreciate your continued prayers and I am so thankful for all of you.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...
Matthew 6:25-34
Thank you again,
much love
