Empty

So, what am I supposed to do if I don’t feel like blogging…if I don’t have any wisdom to impart…if I’m tired of being a tool, an instrument? I haven’t lost faith & I haven’t lost hope, but I am weary and I feel empty. I feel that any words I try to express will end up sounding hollow. We have found out today that Amy will have her pre-surgical exam on Tuesday, May 23rd and the surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, May 31st. The hospital will notify us on the exact time the day before.

Please pray for the following: strength, peace, that the cancer hasn’t spread, that the tumor isn’t wrapped or involved with the arteries, that they will be able to perform the surgery and that they will be able to remove all of it.

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me - V

Vince..... you have held us all up through these many weeks with your incredible strength and insights from the Lord. I know that the blog has probably also been tharaputic for you, but know that it is OK for you to rest from the blog for a few days if it is beginning to be overwhelming. We will all continue to pray and your entire family will always be in our thoughts. We love you guys!
Hugs to you, Amy & the kids!

In Him always,
Pink
 
My Dearest Brother in Christ,
It sounds like you have come to the end of yourself. I can see your weariness and confusion. It is a terrible feeling and fills us with fear and dread. In ourselves we are weak, frail, lost, and confused. I've been there and the hopelessness and loneliness floods over me again. It's time to cry out, to plead for help. Your loving Father is right there next to you, holding your hand and His heart is breaking with your pain and suffering. When it seems overwhelming He is there to sustain us. When we are totaly lost and spent He is there to show us the way home. We try so hard for so long and in the end it is all about His love for His children. Our Lord Jesus knows all about facing a terrible trial, all about lonliness, all about sufffering, and all about running out of strength. He completly identified with us and our suffering. He will not abandon you in your greatest hour of need. When you're empty is just the time He will fill you up. When you are lost is just the time He'll show you the way back home. Whatever He places in front of us we are to deal with as it presents itself to us. We can trust that He will always see us through to the end. Let go and give it all to Him who created you.
You and family are always in our prayers. If there is anything you need, please allow us to help.
Your Brother in Christ,
Eric & Janie Newgent
 
You are all so special. We knew that the moment we met you and the kids. Amy, you have a "go get it" attitude that I personally love. Your strength and perserverance to conquer any hurdle is amazing. You have taught our child and shown him Christian love wherever you can. As Dakota said last night in our prayers for you,for his Aunt Carol who is battling cancer and our other friends fighting this evil disease, God, Cancer Sucks!!! Please help all our loved ones and their families have a cure from this evil disease. Vince, your spirit has lifted us all up through this. Your blogs are beautiful,, I've found that I don't have to read my bible when you write to all of us. Your speaking God's word and doing his work. I could tell when I saw you tonight with the kids that you are exhausted. Let God's eternal light shine upon you, Amy and the kids and give you peace as you sleep tonight. He will hold all of you in the palm of his hand. We love all of you and pray everyday for all of you. As Dakota said, Cancer Sucks God. Take it away or find the everlasting cure.

Love, Prayers and Hugs

Chaz Debby and Dakota
