issue :my letter to God:


" Hi God,

I know I've been talking to you much more lately and hopefully you have been hearing me... I know that you have. I just wanted you to hear me a little bit louder this time. I believe that prayer is powerful and when being said by more than one person, it's even more powerful... So as each person reads this, what I am typing is being heard by you again and again...

Today has been rather tough.

Yesterday as you know we went to see my fathers Oncologist. The visit itself was somewhat uplifting as they were able to start the first part of my fathers treatment... But what his dr. said about his cancer is troubling me today. It is just now hitting me that there is something that is spreading throughout my fathers body that is trying to eat his bones away and he is in pain. Can you PLEASE remove this cancer from his body but keep him here and healthy with us? There are still lots of things we want to show him, tons of things we all want to do to make him proud, lot's of days that our children want to be able to jump on him and hug him without hurting him... He has always been so strong and the rock of our family and it's hurting my heart that he is in pain. Even though he is in pain all he can think of is going to work and taking care of his wife {my mother} and home and now his body. You created and blessed us with such a strong man, please don't let Cancer break him down. Is this where you want us to come in and not rely on him to be the strong one all the time? I HEAR you and I am trying... Everyday I am trying to stay strong and help him be stronger by nourishing his body with foods that will strengthen him. Everyday my sister prays and is my mothers shoulder to cry on by staying @ their house and strengthening them with faith that things will be better. Everyone is trying, but today I need some help. Please remove this pain and cancer from his body but keep him here with us. Happy, Healthy, Working, Strong.

I know that "we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a Human experience" {~ Tellihard de Chardin } and I am not questioning your plan for our life, I am simply asking that you continue to allow my father to have a happy, blessed, healthy, cancer FREE, pain FREE human experience for many, many, many years to come and that you continue to allow us to be blessed with him in our lives.

~ Forever Yours,
JaTawny Muckelvene Chatmon

AMEN"
