I can't even imagine how hard it is to make a decision like this but I know you have the courage, faith and ability to make it. The Lord loves you, he loves your family and he will help you with whatever you need. He can't take away the pain but he can give you the strength you need to deal with it. We will continue to add our prayers to those of others and hope you will feel the strong spirit of the Lord with you.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009239747654188439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375408302527486350.post-48398749507884671212010-05-24T21:04:25.110-07:002010-05-24T21:04:25.110-07:00Shanda, I am PRAYING for you!

Hinckley's talk about working at a switchpouint when he worked at the railroad. Like him, I know that Heavenly Father is at those points with us and will help you make the right decision for you and your family. <br />Saturday we were at the National Archives and I saw a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt that reminded me of you. Online I can find it in bits and pieces only, but here is the best I could do to put together what I remember:<br />I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. <br />Eleanor Roosevelt <br /><br />Shanda, you are doing something that, if I were in your shoes, I would think I could not, but you are looking fear in the face and making decisions based on hope, faith, and eternal promises. Our prayers are with you as you do this yet again.

My heart hurts to hear about your difficulties with your treatment and I wish there was some words of wisdom that I could impart to you based off my experience to help give you some guidance. However all I can say is for you to stay strong, stay focused, and above all else, STAY POSITIVE! Do not EVER give up hope. I know that when the time comes, you will make the right decision that is best for YOU and your family. Rely on your faith, and you will get through this!
