It is just a little compilation of letters and thoughts...but so poignantly written from the hand and heart of one who is ill (rather than from one who is well to the ill). It is a great balm.

Your words are so much more understandable than how i wrote it :-) But the truth is, you are so right, the trials that I am going through are for Gods praise, so others might see how I through the love of God will stay the course. I have no doubts he will heal you, me and everyone, in his time. To God all praise for every single moment, I would rather suffer and have his love, than to have never known him. thank you for your blog, you have helped me much.
