June 11, 20072 Corinthians 1:8-11 (NIV)
“…We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.”
Wow.

Dear Jeseca and Jon,
My name is Jodi Walsh (Herman) and I went to High School with Jeseca. My sister in law is Rachel Herman.
I am praying HARD.
My memories of you,Jeseca, are of solidarity and a beautiful smile. We were not close friends, but more than acquaintances.
Having learned that Rachel was friends with you, I believed that God wanted me to get in touch with you and let you know that I am amazed by your miraculous strength. You are a rock and inspiration for all of my pitiful battles.
God Bless,
Jodi Walsh
Jon,
What a wonderful, fabulous promise. We love you.

Thank you for this scripture verse to remind us of God’s ongoing love, mercy, strength and His soverignity, in spite of things in the natural. I stand on this scripture in faith the and promise He has given you (us) in this battle for Jeseca’s life. Jes’s life is a witness of His endearing love and grace.
Much love and prayers,
Mom
