Chris has breast cancer. She is having a radical mastectomy today...maybe even as I type this.
Christina is a beautiful, brave, and fiercely loyal woman. She is strong...
But she is scared. She is afraid. Almost paralyzed with fear.
She has children, beautiful children. This is Justin and he is five. He can't wrap his mind around what is happening to his beloved mommy.
This is Jordan. She is old enough to start to understand what is happening, but who can really understand?
This is Christina's oldest, Jasmine. She isn't handling this well. She has run away from home several weeks ago and not returned. I can't even imagine walking a mile in Chris' shoes right now, nor can I pretend to imagine to understand what she is feeling. I know the magnitude of this disease, her runaway daughter, the surgery, and the ensuing fight must weigh more heavily than any other fight of her life right now.
So, today, Thursday the 19th, could you take a minute to pray for Christina? And then, if you feel led, leave a comment to be sent to her. If you would like to read her journey, her blog address is http://www.specificallyspeaking.wordpress.com/.
Because Christina needs to be reminded, again and again and again, that she is loved and that good things are still in store for her.

i'm agnostic, and yet i'm going to pray for her right now. sometimes the power of love and hope and happiness can cross religions. i think God would understand and cut me some slack on this one :) here's to hoping the surgery goes as well as it can.
Holy moly, I haven't been on in a while and then I read this. God's timing is beautiful. I'll be praying for the complete and total healing of Christina and the protection and return of her daughter. Also, that her other two children would experience peace in this situation. God's grace and wisdom to her doctors as well. Blessing, blessing, blessing on them Lord. Amen.
Wow, Melanie. You've had a heavy week. I'll be praying for Chris and her family. I can't imagine going through both of those traumatic things at the same time. I'm praying for healing and God's protection over this family.
Definitely praying for all.
