It's been a loooooong day, and I'm too tired to post much, but I do want to thank you all for your support and your prayers. I have no alternative other to believe that your prayers were answered.

The surgeons were able to remove almost all of the cancer; my mom will have another round of chemo treatments and more surgery. Her prognosis is better than any of us could have hoped for. Originally, the doctors gave her 12-18 months to live; now, they say she has a 50-50 chance of recovery.

It's all a mystery.

Thank you again for your compassionate prayers.

-- Alicia, with gratitude in her heart

O You who fulfill our every need and complete everything we lack, grant Alicia increareased faith, courage, love and understanding of Your Will. Heal her mother of this cancer, and all the problems her family has been facing the last few years Jesus, give them your peace. Remember Your Handmaiden Alicia in Your kingdom, always now and forever. Amen

Psalms
Chapter 23

1
1 A psalm of David. 2 The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.
2
In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me;
3
3 you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name.
4
4 Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; your rod and staff give me courage.
5
5 You set a table before me as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
6 Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.
