One Man's Blog Can Make You Cry ...

I ran the "Day Of Hope" Run this morning. I ran for friends I know who are dealing with cancer right now.  After the ran, I visited their Facebook Timeline to see how they are doing. One f them had posted about Joey.  At first I had no clue who she is, but when I kept on following the links I found out she's a famous Country Music Singer and she's afflicted with cancer. I again followed some of the links and ended up on their blog called This Life I Live

I am sitting here bawling my eyes out.  Every post I read, tears come streaming down on my face.  It's  not tears of sadness and it's not tears of joy either.  I think it is tears of being in awe of the kind of faith Joey and Rory has.

I am thankful that they decided to blog about their life.  What a great testimony of faith.  What an inspiration.  What a great encouragement. What a story! This video had me crying. Maybe it won't affect you as much as it affected me. But when I watched and listened to this after reading several of their posts about her cancer ... I just couldn't help but cry ...

I can go on and on about talking about their blog but I think it's better if you'd go there yourself. GO to This Life I Live and read some of the recents posts .. and it will make you want to read all of the previous posts.  June 2014 is the month they found out Joey had Stage 4 Cancer.  Read June 2014, them read some more ....

And Joey's prayer?  See her and her prayer on this image:

I think of that lady of decided to end her life early when she found out she had terminal cancer.  She said she wanted to die with dignity.  I look at Joey's life right now .... going through every stage of cancer.... now in the hospice care ... and I can say ... there is so much dignity in that  .... in fact it is more than dignity .... it's a life so inspiring ... so selflessly inspiring....

I absolutely love Joey's prayer:

Pray for a Miracle ...

and even more so,

for peace with His decision
