The Stealth Fighter

To update you all, Wendy is not feeling well. She has a throat infection and is taking antibiotics to combat that, but she also has a cold and cough.  She is scheduled to have a treatment this week and may have to postpone that appointment.  She has had a rough time adjusting to the last treatment and all the side effects from it.  

But on the flip side, I want to share a few things. Most of you that know both of us well might think that I am the stronger of us two. My personality is outwardly bolder and I am definitely more chatty and outgoing. I am firm in my convictions and have been thought of as intimidating to some. But still water runs deep. I have watched my dear friend, for the last few years, go through many private struggles and through all of it, have watched her faith grow and her determination stand. Seeing others in similar circumstances, I have observed them throw in the towel and join rank in defeat, but that has not been so with Wendy. 

To date, I am watching her continue to grow in her faith through this battle. She is looking to be a blessing to others and wants to know God in a deeper way. She has a burden for the struggles of others and is committed to pray for them. She is hoping that there will be people she meets during her own battle, that she can encourage and shrare God's love with. She is trusting that God will use this time to draw her family into closer relationship with each other and God. Sometimes this is not easy when the circumstances scream defeat, but she keeps up the fight for them in the heavenly.

She believes the scripture when they say that what the devil has meant for evil, God will use for good. She believes that all things do work together for good, to those that love God and are called according to His purpose. She believes that her life is in His hands and that His love for her knows no bounds and that He keeps her in the palm of His hands.

To me she is a like a stealth fighter jet that does its damage to the enemy before it is detected on any radar scan. She will not only win this battle for her health, she will win it for her family and for all the rest of us that she comes in contact with. And those of us that join her in prayer and support, will share  in her victory. She is my hero and her battle scars will be her medals of honor.

So continue to pray for her but also let her be an example to you; she is for me.
