Prayers for Brielle

A few months ago I read a post by a friend on facebook, asking to join her in prayer for a little girl named Brielle. This little girl and her family attend my friends church, a church that Jake and I used to attend.
So I hit the link and started to follow the story of Brielle. At that time she had just gone through some surgery to remove a tumor and I followed along and read about her recovery, the good days and the bad..and just kept on praying for this little girl, believing that the Cancer invading her little body was now gone
Over the holidays I did not follow as much. And she was doing so well, the blog entries became fewer..and then this morning I was checking my facebook and 2 friends had requests to cover the Brielle's family with prayer. Oh no...
So I rushed to the blog and discovered that Brielle's cancer had returned..and had spread to her spine..even though she had been doing Chemo..it didn't help..the cancer was back. Her prognosis is grim. She will go quickly the doctors say, as quickly as a matter of weeks.
I broke down and cried. Cried for a little girl I don't even know...but had gotten to know by following her journey on her families blog. I could not believe after all she had been through, that this was going to be the end result. I think often of her mother, and how on earth is she coping with all this? How do you handle the news that your daughter will be going to heaven so soon??
So please friends, join me in praying for this family. Pray for a miracle for Brielle! Yes, the doctors do not have good news, but GOD IS BIGGER!!!!! This family has been so strong in their faith, they truely are an inspiration! Please take a moment to read some of the blog so you can see this family of faith in action, and PRAY PRAY PRAY!
