I wished this day never came! I've asked God to heal her and maybe even just keep the sun from setting yesterday so today would not come. But now that it's here, I still cling on to the promise that "This is the day that the Lord has made", and through my tears and anxieties I will will rejoice and be glad in it. Not because the love of my life and the one who has added beauty and grace in my life for 17 years 6 months 22 days and for now 11 hours and 54 minutes, sorry, I do get way too sappy in moments like this...and I did need a calculator to figure all those numbers out and it's still probably wrong... sorry...A.D.D. moment there, just went on a totally different tangent altogether. Anyway, it's not because I can possibly be glad that my wife Glad would be put in harms way and have cancer forever alter her beautiful body. I can be glad that cancer could never kill her spirit, nor change her motivation to bring grace, value, and inspiration to my life and every other life that she has touched. I can be glad that the best shot that cancer has taken could not destroy her beauty, her courage, her quest for life, or her love for her God, family, and friends. I've told you this before my love, but never enough...I admire you, I adore you, I am proud of you, and most of all I truly love you. Please know that I will tell anyone who is willing to listen and put it down in writing so everyone will see... you are and always will be the one my heart will take joy in and long for. No knife can take away the beauty that has always inspired me, at times even drove me crazy, but most of all made me know what true love is. You won't read this till after you wake up from your surgery, as for me I know the only thing I can think of tomorrow is seeing you again ...alive and well. We will cross this ocean and climb this mountain the way we have been able to do so our whole wonderful life together, we will do it hand in hand in the arms of the God who brought us together. So as I see you sleep tonight through my tears which I thought was already spent...I know you are at peace....I know you are well in every possibly way that is important...Please know your strength and grace through this whole ordeal has cemented what I always knew deep in my heart, you are GLADY!!! Through everything...you have always brought joy to me. I hope this blog will bring that same joy to you. I love you always. MAHAL

Frendell,
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely beautiful! It was nice seeing you guys this morning. You are both in my prayers and the prayers of the people in the conference office. God bless through this long day. See you lunch.

The kids, nunay, and I said a little prayer for you both this morning. After it was all said and done, Livi stated, "That was the longest prayer ever! It was like 100 minutes." Nic quickly corrected her and told her that it was 2. Whatever the length, we know God has heard our prayers. He has heard yours and Glady's. He has heard your families' prayers. He has heard your friends' prayers as well. Thanks heavens for a God with giant ears!!! And One with a giant heart!!! He is holding the both of you in His arms. Just like he did yesterday, just like He did last month, just like He did one year ago, just like He did 17 years ago. We love you very much! Nay, Faith, Nic, Liv
ReplyDeleteI am so honored to be part of this circle of family, friends etc. that have joined together to support you and Frendell. You guys are amazing. I love you.
ReplyDeleteGlady,Hello my friend. I just couldn't get to sleep this evening, as you have in the forefront of my thoughts and prayers. I am so grateful that your surgery went well and that that part of your journey is over. You know that I will walk with you every step of the way, praying you through this, as you and Frendell have done for me. My heart is saddened that you have to experience this, but certain that God will see you through this and that you will experience His goodness and greatness. I love you very much my friend, be good to yourself and hit that Morphine button anytime you need to! I will be by to see you soon.

Glady, finally I was able to post a comment in your blog. I've asked some people to teach me but they don't know either. After trying for several days, I finally made it. Oh, what a joy! You know, I am not a high tech person. Finally, i can communicate with you my child. We, the prayer warriors of Va beach are very happy that the surgery went well and now you are treading tne next phase of the journey- the healing process. God is sooo goood!!! He is always faithful to His promises and He never failed as yet. Continue to rest my daughter and be rest assured our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love you very much.
ReplyDeleteAs I wipe the tears away from my eyes, I am so happy for you Glady that you have a husband sent from God. His words express his deep love for you and it does my heart good to read of it.
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord!
