Since I have started my blog, I have shared some of my personal life with all of you. I normally like to keep my posts carefree and upbeat, but tonight, I need your prayers.
Meet my friend, Amy…
Amy is a 5th grade teacher in Hartland, Michigan. Amy and I went through our Education Specialist program together. From the beginning of the program, we instantly became good friends. Amy is brilliant, musically gifted, and beautiful on the inside and out. She is also a wife and a mother.
Amy was diagnosed with cancer several years ago and has been in remission ever since. Just recently, her cancer came back. With the kind of cancer that she had, this is extremely rare.
Everything happened so quickly. Once she found out the cancer came back, the doctors quickly began chemo and radiation. Amy was determined to keep working. Her day would consist of teaching, then her evenings would be spent with her radiation. Mondays were her scheduled chemo days. Well, the treatments were harder than anticipated and she had to take a leave of absence from teaching.
She has spent the last few months going through the biggest challenge of her life and it hasn’t been easy. Amy finds out tomorrow if she is in remission. If you are the praying type, I am asking if all of you could say a prayer for my friend. We need good news tomorrow.
Here is a beautiful video that her school family made to lift Amy’s spirits. You don’t need to know Amy to be extremely moved by their overwhelming support of their friend and colleague.
Thank you SO much for your prayers!
I Love you, Amy! Be strong!
Sending thoughts, prayers, and {HUGS} your way!!!
There is nothing stronger than the power of prayer and faith. My prayers are w/your friend.
Prayers and love to Amy!!!!!!!

I’ll be praying for Amy and sending her positive healing thoughts. May God bless her with gentle healing, much strength and boundless love! Keep the FAITH!
Dear God, Amy needs your healing power more than ever. She is blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who love her dearly. I do not know Amy, but visit this blog regularly…what an amazing tool to ask for prayers…don’t you think, Lord? Amy is in your hands, Lord, and we are praying that you will see to a clean bill of health. You and You alone have the power to do that. You are amazing and I believe with all my heart that you can do this! I pray this in your name, Lord. Amen
Thinking of your friend Amy and sending positive energy her way. Hoping for good news tomorrow.
Prayers for Amy coming your way, Melanie! We have a close family friend whose cancer was in remission, and is now back. It just makes you feel so helpless! We will put her on our prayer list this Sunday.

How is Ms Amy now?
Amy is doing great! She had her three month appointment today and she is still doing well! Thanks so much for asking!
I DEFINITELY believe in the power of prayer! I will be praying for your friend. Please keep us posted! Also, facebook is the best place I have found for posting prayer requests and having lots of prayers lifted for situations.
My nephew just beat a pediatric brain tumor @ 17. His situation is exstreamly rare. He is in remission now & it was an uphill battle to say the least. What I want to share w/you is the attitude. Even when doctors were saying “ugh” we all put game faces on & stayed super upbeat. My nephew was amazing saying things like” I’m glad it is me fighting this cancer because I’m young & strong”. So, stay POSSITIVE it will help more than you can imagine 😀 My thoughts & prayers are w/you
