Dear Agnes,
We are still in shock that this has happened. Last month we heard you were diagnosed with lung cancer (that was a shock in itself) and today…well there you are in the hospital. How could this happen over such a short amount of time to such a sweet, beautiful person who is reasonably healthy and young? It boggles my mind. I have to tell you the truth; it makes me question the goodness of God. My mind knows He is good, but my heart just cannot understand it.

But, when I think about you and your life and all He has brought you through and is bringing you through, what He has done through you, how He has used you and how He is still using you, I am once again reassured of His goodness and love. He is Almighty God and we are not. We just can’t see all that He is accomplishing through this. He is waking people up and teaching us to value each and every day we have, not to mention each and every breath that He gives us to breathe. He is placing our focus upon Himself and what is important and off of the trivial things in our lives as we lift you up in prayer knowing we are helpless to do anything else. He is reminding us that He is God. He is bringing us face to face with our own mortality and the afterlife. Maybe He’s using this to draw people to Him like in that song Blessings… ”maybe trials in this life are Your mercies in disguise.”

If you should leave this life, you will be in the loving arms of your Maker, your Love, your closest Friend...in the arms of Jesus. While you are still here though, we will continue to pray for a miracle. We love you Agnes. May the Lord strengthen you and give you peace as you go through this. May you find your rest in Him.

Love,
Emma, Ariel and Jasmine

Hello Agnes,

I'm have been so torn to hear of the news of your situation and can't even imagine what might be going on in your mind.  What comes to my mind is a constant battle field and trying at the same time to find peace and great faith to make it through tough times.  I wanted to send you a video of a song I sang a week ago on the worship team, but I'm having a tough time sending for some reason...some format on the technical stuff and can't seem to figure it out. I also try to video a new one but again had trouble sending and that one was more emotion for me.  Regardless I decided to send you a audio recording of the song I sang during worship..so it's a live version as you'll hear the noise of the congregation.  I felt it would bring you much encouragement and know God wants His ultimate best for you, even in this time of your life of the unknown.  But of what is known is God is good, He loves you and is aware of all and just hearing the process of what your journey is now I am blessed to hear God is using and blessing you at this moment.  So be encourage dear sister cast it all on Him...He loves you and wants you to fully trust Him.  I will enclose the lyrics to the song as well as the audio.  Agnes...just to give you a blessing of encouragement..I am playing the keys in the songs.  I didn't know I could play keyboard until recently,  God gave me this gift and I'm in constant awe of this gift and using it for His glory.  I'm very insecure of it but God gives me the strength use it all for His glory and to bless others.  May you find comfort Agnes and know His great love for you. 

In His love,
Betty Barmore

VERSE 1:
With every breath, with every thought
 From what is seen to the deepest part
I offer all that I've come to be
To know your love   fathering me

CHORUS:
Father You're all I need
My soul's sufficiency
My strength when I am weak
That love that carries me
Your arms enfold me, till I am only
 A child of God
  
VERSE 2:
With every step on this journey's walk
And wisdom's songs that the soul has sought
I give myself unreservedly
To know Your love     fathering me

Nicole and I have been praying for Agnes(and you) all morning. Our hearts so heavy right now. Praying for a miracle. Praise God that our weary souls can find rest in the Gospel and in his complete sovereignty over everything. We will continue praying, along with the countless brothers and sisters in Christ.

Love,
Oliver & Nicole

As I ponder on truly what's happening in the past few weeks of Auntie Agnes' situation I can't help but really ask God.. "Lord, what is your plan for her." News of her physical condition getting worse then getting better, then getting worse again just boggles my mind on what may seem like a rollercoaster of emotions. One thing I can remember is that in Scripture, God tells us to be still and know He is God(Ps. 46:10). And yes, He will take care of us, and yes he will take care of our families and friends who know His Son Jesus. I tell you that mixed emotions have come my way, emotions of not knowing whether I'm about to cry or emotions of determination to fight this disease. I know that in God's perfect time, He will reveal the plan He has for Auntie Agnes. As I read my Bible and prayed this morning, I couldn't help but feel led to want to be in Sacramento to support the family. Because God knows truly how much they, especially Uncle Dennis and Auntie Agnes have an enormous section of my heart that was led to follow Christ on a whole nother level. The best I can do as of now, is to pray with all my heart, sing praises even though I'm just in my own apartment alone.. read my Bible and pray some more. Family and friends, this fight isn't over! The Lord needs to see not just physically but spiritually and truly that we are seeking Him in this great time of need. But I say unto you as well that the Lord may be preparing us for something we do not want yet He feels we might need. Yes, that is, Auntie Agnes going to where I know we all want to be. With our Abba Father, with Jesus up above. This fight is unlike any other, for it is the Lord's. Regardless of what happens, I know God's purpose for their family is secure. I know His purpose for us, is secure. And I know, without the slightest doubt that the plan He has for Auntie Agnes is ever secure!

My brothers and sisters, I say this to you because we must not ask God to do our will but His will!

Things can go either way. But that doesn't mean we stop praying, that doesn't mean we let go. That means we fight with prayer, we stand firm with confidence that the Lord will speak and when He does, we will know.

As I began my prayer and devotional, I came across this.

"Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him (Jesus), and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself,'If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.' Jesus turned and saw her. 'Take heart, daughter,' he said, 'your faith has healed you.' And the woman was healed from that moment." - Matthew 9:20-22

Be relentless in our pursuit for His answer for He will speak.

In Spirit,

aaron

Dear Agnes,
When I saw this note (We Expect A Miracle!) on your hospital room wall last night, I said, "Yes, I like that!" Bill and I and our whole family are praying for you and believing that the Lord IS doing miracles in you! We love you and want to help in intercessory prayer and otherwise as needed. We are with you all the way! I speak LIFE to your good healthy cells! Keep smiling...the Lord is for you and with you.....

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Hang in there, Agnes, God IS doing miracles! 
Love you, Michele (Manalo)

Dear Agnes,
I know this blog is intended to keep your friends and family posted.
You don't know me, I am a friend of Christine. I have seen her post of you and your beautiful family before so when I saw her post on Facebook about your diagnosis I felt drawn to check out your link.
I hope you don't mind.
My family has been touched twice with lung cancer-first with my father and right now, my Tita.
So I know what you guys are feeling and going through.
You are so loving to share this journey with your friends and family...thank you.
I have 3 daughter that I believe in my heart are here because of prayers from total strangers who were lovingly compelled to pray for my family.
I would like to be one of the voices praying for you that God will hear in heaven so that He can send your Clarence down to be with you.
I am praying for your complete recovery, for your comfort in your treatments and strength through your journey. Keep the Faith.
God Bless you and your family,
Jennifer
