Message from Mari...

This week ahead is an important week: a meeting with specialists tomorrow. Time to hear about treatment, details of it etc.... Also a bone marrow biopsy on Thursday which will give more info regarding how advanced the cancer is and what grade it is etc. I am a bit worried about the proceedure because it sounds yuck!

We should know more after these tests about when we can get back to England as well as treatment plans.

Thank you, thank you everyone for all your prayers - I am so grateful, it has given me so much strength to face each week, and to face a big battle ahead of me.

-Mari

Mari,

It's great to hear from you. We all continue to pray for you and the fam here. I had a dream last night that you were back at the ridge, you were looking really strong and enjoying loads of visitors, films, etc.

I keep praying that God would speak his promises to you in dreams, words, pictures. I'm praying for amazing peace and for more and more hope to build up your heart.

Hope the meetings and tests go well this week! Thanks for the message and keep fighting!

Lots of love,
Linz & Pete xxx

I think we all wish we could do so much more than pray!! Looking forward to seeing you when you get back although wish it was for different reasons. Will keep reminding God of your destiny and believe that you do have so much more ahead of His exciting and unimaginable plans. Much love, Em xxx

Hi Mari,

Just wanted you to know that me and Sam are praying for you and your family and checking your blog to keep up to date with all of your news and info.

Glad that the waiting game is over and that you've finally got your diagnosis. I'm praying for your sleep in particular and that just like in psalm 23 (and the title music to the vicar of dibley)

'he makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul'

that you will feel an incredible sense of God's closeness and peace each night.

Lots of love and prayers,

Abi and Sam x x x

I read all the love and prayer poured out on these pages for you Mari, it is quite wonderful, and then I think that as much as we love you God loves you EVEN MORE! All that is in our hearts, is even bigger in His, and He is the one who can do so much more - hang in there and may today go well.
Love, Judith XX
