Some of
you have seen the blogs I added to the main page. Please check out Kim's blog,
and pray for her. She is battling stage four colon cancer (she's 29...), and
has had a pretty bad week thus far. I spent almost two hours tonight with her,
and it was wonderful. She's an amazing person, and someone that (in, really,
five days of friendship) I consider a close friend. We have amazing similarities
in our lives, and I am just hoping that she can kick this thing in the ass.
*sigh* This just frustrates me, and pisses me off. It makes what I am fighting for everyday that much more important, and fuels my fight. It hurts my soul, though. I have another friend, Betty, that is also in the hospital, battling her own demons related to this disease. I tried to call Betty today, got her husband, and it wasn't a good time. Things were clearly not going well when I called. I am hoping to get a hold of someone tomorrow. Betty's been in the hospital for a long while (almost a month now?), and has taken a turn for the worse. Not good news.
My spirit is pained today. I worry about them, and I think about what I have. I thank God everyday that I have been given the chance to fight my battle, win, and fight back. I need to do something more with what I have been given - with this second chance at life.
Things like this make me re-evaluate my long-term goals. They make me re-evaluate what I want to do. Makes me think. I need to do something more. I need to have more of an effect on the world. I need to do something more tangible with this.
And, in a perfect world, someone would pay me to advocate for this, and allow me to do what I truly want to do in life - make a difference.

Hang
in there, sweetie. Many prayers going up for your friend.
As for geocaching - it's like a treasure hunt for grown-ups. The website is: http://www.geocaching.com/
All you need is a GPS. People hide geocaches, list the coordinates of where they're located, you plug them into your handheld GPS and go find them :)

I
am praying for Kim...so young! TOO young! ARGH! It is frustrating.
Michelle you already are doing SOOO much! You've been such a blessing to me, Kim, and many others. I feel better knowing that you are visiting Kim, that she has you there helping her fight!
Do ever doubt the impact you have on people's lives!
God bless you!

I
read Kim's post yesterday and just sat there and cried. Phil was working from
home and asked me what was wrong so I told him.
I feel devastated when I can't DO something to help someone. I worry so much about you girls; my other survivor buddies. I pray for each of you every day. In fact, a couple times a day.
