>I want to personally thank you for your prayers and concerns.  Rachie has
just finished her first chemotherapy treatment and is unfortunately
nauseated and very uncomfortable.  Our prayers are that the tumor does not
metastasize and that God will  use either medical means or divine
intervention to completely heal Rachel's body.  Rachel believes HE will!

>On the night (actually early morning) before her spinal surgery, I lay on a
sofa beside Rachel's bed crying and praying.  Rachel looked over at her
mother and then to me, she stated "You guys are going to have to stop this!
Every time you cry he wins (the devil), I'm going to be just fine, Jesus is
going to take care of me."  Rachel is a strong little girl with a sincere
confidence in her GOD.  I too believe God will heal her .  I have not asked
God, Why US?  I have promised him I wouldn't do that, as I don't have to go
very far down the corridor of this fine hospital to see other children with
illnesses, diseases, or conditions similar or worse than Rachel's.

>As a parent, I have faced one of my greatest nightmares last Wednesday,
July 11th. God's grace has been sufficient! His peace has gone beyond human
understanding!
>
>Please continue to pray with us for Rachel's complete healing!  We thank
you again.

>In his peace,
