My cousin.

I'm sharing this message with you about my cousin. Allie Arnett is her name. She is currently fighting the fight against Breast Cancer. She is 35 (i think) and is a mother of 4 beautiful children. I would love for you all to read about her story at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/allisonarnett . It's amazing to hear from her everyday and to read her touching testimony. Please visit and read her "story" and her "journal", it will change your life. I sent her this poem today and I would like to share it with all of you.

I said a prayer for you today
and know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind).
I asked Him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
at the start of each new day.
To grant you health and blessings
and friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed for most of all.

God bless you Allie and your family. You are an insiration to me. Reading your journal and hearing about your life has uplifted me in so many ways. I hope and pray that your children will truly understand what an amazing mother they have and the awe- inspiring testimony that you share with us all. Because of you I try to "see God" everyday in the world around me. Thank you so much for being such a great example. We love you and your family and pray for you daily.

I have so many good memories of my childhood, and you are present in so many of them. Im glad that our moms were close growing up, because those memories and every prayer carry me through my darkest days.
