Mercy Now!

Hebrews 4:16

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.
There we will receive his mercy, and we will
find
grace to help us when we need it. (NLT)

I am on my knees begging that he shows mercy to Robynn as she struggles mightily!
Please join me Army Goodell...dig deep and Pray with everything you've got!

XOXO,
S

Life is a journey for which we can only choose to enjoy the ride, to be ever mindful of Our Lord and Savior and live every moment in the moment. You have been called to serve a much higher purpose than most. You have shown yourselves to be beautiful strong faithful servants.

As I sit here at my computer, I am trying to think of something to write that is inspirational, meaningful, and uplifting, in hopes that it will bring you some sort of peace and comfort. I thought perhaps that I could find a poem or song to quote, but I am finding it difficult to conjure up something eloquent. Soooo...I'm just going to say what comes naturally. Here goes...Although you certainly never signed up for this, through your experiences you have managed to touch the lives of so many, myself included. I know your husband lovingly reads the posts to you each day, so I wanted to tell you how you have inspired me.

Because of you, I want to complain less, love more, and laugh often. By God's grace, my body is healthy and I feel ashamed for not being grateful each and every day.

Because of you, I want to have a stronger relationship with God and never take His love for granted. I know how much your faith has comforted you during this unbearable time in your life.

Because of you, I want to let everyone who is special to me know just how much I love them.

And, finally, because of you, I want to know that I have made a difference in someone's life. As a mother, a wife, a daughter, a teacher, and a friend...I want to be just like you!

I hope you know what a difference you make in people's lives and how rare it is to be inspiring to all those who know you. If words could heal, my long-winded e-mail would be a cure! Keep up the fight, Robynn! You have no idea how many people are in the stands cheering you on!

Robynn and Brian,
We are praying....we are praying! I just a man giving a talk and he said..."we cannot choose the cards we are dealt, we can only choose how we play them.: Robynn and Brian, you are playing a way better hand than most of us could and you are teaching us all how to be better people. Not one of us out there is promised a tomorrow, and yet it is so very easy to take each day for granted...you coninue to remind us to love one another and to share our feelings. We are praying, and we will continue to pray that God watches over you and your family. You are very special, both of you, and you are so very loved. I must say again...you are a true love story! God please be with Robynn and Brian....please.
Love you guys,
B.

Wendy, I loved what you wrote...It was truly beautiful. I will think about it often as it represents everything that I feel myself right now.

"Because of you, I want to complain less, love more, and laugh often. By God's grace, my body is healthy and I feel ashamed for not being grateful each and every day."

Robynn, Shelley, everyone... I echo Wendy's word and add an enormous thank you to it...as well as a promise...to live my life to the fullest, to tell the ones I love everyday that I love them... and to spend more time hugging my children.

Thank you for leading by example...

Robynn, Brian, Brady and my little Hailey,

I sit and read your blog everyday wondering how your doing and praying to God that he looks after all of you. I find myself lost at times and stuck on what exactly to say, but I do want you to know thta I think and pray for you daily. You are special to me and I just wanted you to know.
Please god watch after this wonderful family and give Robynn some much needed relief and comfort.
All my thoughts and prayers, Kim Belk

I mirror the comments that have been made by the previous commentators. It is very much like when we were children and our Mother's would try to 'kiss' and make it better...collectively...
all of us are prayerfully trying to hug-n-kiss away the pain,struggle,& challenge that you are facing Miss Robynn.

In addition to the prayers we are sending to your sweet hubby, kidlets, & other family members.

Nothing I can add other than to say I hold you all in my heart with prayers & loving thoughts.

Your friend,
Jill West

Robynn and family,
I, like everyone else, check the bog multiple times a day to find an update and then when I get one that tells me you are in pain I feel so angry and wish I had just an ounce of the grace you have. I love you guys so much and want you to know that how you have choosen to fight your battle, with such grace inspires all of us who read each day to be a better human. you are all truly amazing and I feel so helpless beacuse all I can do is sit in front of my computer and cry. I wish you never had to take such a journey. With all my love.

Hey Guys,

Let’s get right to it shall we?

Scriptures

Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Genesis 18:14 (I say NO Way! :0)

I leave you peace; my peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:21-24

Basically all I can think of is don’t give up, don’t stop, don’t quit. God is watching and nothing is too hard for Him. For all we know, your miracle is just around the corner. We all hate to hear how much you are struggling; but, just remember we serve an on time God! We will continue intercede on your behalf. I pray that you are ALL given peace this evening and that tomorrow will be better than today. I ask God to allow you to breathe deeply and meditate on peace, healing and mercy. You are all so incredible. I consider all of you heroes! I’m sure at times you may not feel that way or that you’d prefer not to carry this load. However, I pray that every time someone shares what a difference you’ve made in their life, that it will encourage you and give you the strength to carry on as his faithful soldiers. I pray he gives you an abundance of peace, comfort and Joy as only He can give! Sweet Dreams!

Have I told you how much you inspire me today? ~ Love you friends ~ Stand Strong. :O)

Robynn,
Spent the day on the coast, Bodega Bay and Tomales Bay watching the ocean, feeling the wind, asking God to be with you in this terrible struggle. you know the feelings a parent has for their child when the child is hurting.......he won't let us trade places, no matter how much we would like to..he knows his plan, it's not ours no matter how much we want to change it.
I'm on my knees praying for your comfort and peace.
Love,
Dad

Army Goodell-
Saint Peregrine is the patron saint for cancer.
Prayer to Saint Peregrine-
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "the Mighty,""The Wonder Worker," because of your numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who had recourse to you.For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being,and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favoured with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction.Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick with whom we entrust in you. Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen

Love, Tina

Robynn,

We pray for you all the time. No words can express how much we feel for you and hope you're not in pain and you can rest and enjoy the quality time with everyone around you. Please remember that we all ache thinking about your aches, and we're all moved when you're excited about things that we all take for granted.
Warmest regards to you and your family and feel well. From miles away we hold your hands with love!

Yshay, Nava, Liron, Inbal & Karen.

Robynn,
Even in the midst of the most difficult time of your life, you somehow manage to share a beautiful smile. I just viewed the photos from your weekend. I know that there were some difficult moments during that trip; but somehow, you still look as if you had fun around the toughness. You look as pretty as ever. I echo Wendy's comments and all the other comments made about you here. Words cannot describe how inspired I am about you. Like Lois, I truly hurt to see you n such pain and wish that there was a magic wand I could wave to heal you. But we do serve a mighty God and I know He hears our prayers. I will continue holding you up to Him. Touch her right now dear Lord. Heal every cell in her body. Cast away the masses and bad cells that exist, right now. This is my prayer for you Robynn. Keep up the fight. Keep the faith. I love you always.
