carry a small piece and lighten the load.

You may not know her, I dont. But when I read about her life's experiences, I see pieces of myself, my little sister, my mother, my mamaw, my friends, my niece, my cousins, my aunts, my sister-in-law, pieces of every strong woman that has ever touched my life even in the slightest way or for the briefest moment. If she was your sister, your friend, your daughter then you would want anyone and everyone to pray for her. So take a minute of out your day. Please. Pray for strength. Pray for a body that has the wisdom, the energy, and the will to Heal. Pray for reassurance, for gratitude, for determination, for faith. Pray for good news, for baby steps, for small victories. Pray for positive, healing vibes :) Even if you don't consider yourself to be religious, with a full heart pray...

Lord, continue to use Alison as your soldier, continue to show us your miracles through her strength and healing.

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.~Marilyn Ferguson

We think having faith means being convinced God exists in the same way we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely convinced of God’s existence think faith is impossible for them. Not so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the more heroic your faith. ~real live preacher

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up.~Anne Lamott

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle. ~Phillips Brooks (US Episcopal bishop 1835 - 1893)
