Today has been rather rough. The neuropathy has been worse today than any other. We have had to keep heating pads on her legs almost all day. She desperately needs prayer for strength and peace as well as the support of her friends and family. Your calls(though she may not answer) , cards, and visits(only if you are NOT sick!) are very much welcomed! :) Thanks to Latrelle and family for the flowers...she put the on the coffee table so she can look at them all day...beautiful!
We are driving daddy crazy with the chick flicks...Jane Austen's Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Ever After, aaand lets not forget mine and mama's all time favorite tv show....ANDY GRIFFITH! WHOOP! If you guys have any suggestions for relatively positve movies, no swearing or killing, pleeease let us know! :)
Focused Prayer:
- Please pray for my body...I have been sick since Monday evening and I cannot seem to kick this myself.
- The neuropathy...is was unbearable today!
- Daddy's nerves! :)
- We could all use a little more strength and peace.
THANK GOD FOR HER HEALING AND WHOLENESS!
Thanks for everything!

- Charlcy
- The daughter of the world’s most amazing woman, who is now facing the greatest battle of her life…a battle of faith and endurance. To someone on the outside, the optimism and hope seems to be rather naïve, but to the Godly person, the person who looks beyond human capabilities and who places their faith in an almighty Lord, there is only victory to be had. God is not a man that He can lie. Many prophecies have already gone forth concerning the outcome and we place of trust in the words of faithful men and women of God and take comfort in His words. We do NOT claim nor accept the diagnosis given by doctors. We ARE, however, accepting healing and wholeness through Jesus Christ. Our family appreciates your love, support, and prayers greatly. Please join us in thanking God for the miracle that we have yet to see but have no doubt is right around the corner.

When I think back on my life I can think of NO ONE who has stood by my side more than this precious sister of mine...Marilyn. (except God) Through ups and downs...there she is on every line of my life. We've been to the top of the Iffle Tower in Paris France together. We've been to Germany and Turkeye together.... She was even brave enough to ride a camel....NOT ME! I could NOT possibly imagine my life without her in it and I've told God that. He knows how much I and the rest of our family depend on her words of encouragement when I face a hurdle. Now....she faces the biggest hurdle of her "life" and I am going to run this race with her every step of the journey. Run Marilyn...Run like you've never ran before...show strength like you've never shown before and "Let God's love shine through you like He's never shown before". We'll dance sis....we'll dance in the Spirit together...like we've never danced before. And when it's over....we'll brush off and move on for God! Like the song..."If he only knew what you were gonna be...the devil would have never messed with you"! I believe in you and love you with all my heart! Run Marilyn! Run and don't look back! I'm with you! Your Sister That Looks More Like Daddy...Debra
Aunt Marilyn,
To me, you have always represented strength. When I hear your name, I cannot help but think of a strong, powerful woman of God who rises to any occasion and meets any obstacles with prayer and faith. You have been a lighthouse to many; standing tall and shining bright as you lead souls to the safe harbor of God’s loving mercy and grace.
The Apostle Paul teaches us many things in the New Testament. One of the greatest of these is that trusting in God and remaining faithful, even throughout imprisonments and afflictions, is so very pleasing to God. Steadfast, loving, unwavering, dependable, and dedicated to the His cause are all things I associate with the wonderful woman you are when I think of you. It is your faithfulness that is so precious.
My hope for you, Aunt Marilyn, is anchored in God’s Word and His promise to never leave nor forsake us.
Charlcy, you are doing such a wonderful thing for your Mama. She is so truly blessed to have you at her side and I know your Mama will be eternally grateful for each moment spent with you. You are a precious daughter and wonderful source of support for your Mama at this time. I know things get emotional, and that’s okay. Let us not be ashamed of tears. Let the promise that joy comes with the morning (Psalm 30:5) sustain and shape our grief with the power and goodness of God.
I love you guys.

Aunt Marilyn,
I thought I would call to encourage you the other day but you encouraged me instead! You have always been such an encouragement. I remember a couple of months ago when I was dealing with all of my heart issues. When you called, you gave me something I didn't realize I had lost - hope! I was listening to the doctor's and feeling overwhelmed with all of the tests and I was getting lost in it all. You called and made those doctors seem silly for doubting my God! I just love you so much. I love thinking about all those summers I spent with you. Breanna just came back from her first church camp and as I was sharing my own church camp experiences with her, I realized all that meant to me. Thank you for that. Thank you for always loving me so unconditionally. I know God is building up a very powerful testimony for you. You are gonna smile every time you tell someone your story. You will continue to encourage and bless others by what you are going through right now.
Thank you Charlcy for posting this blog. You are doing a wonderful job. It is so great to know what's going on and what to pray for without having to call and bug you each day. I know it can seem overwhelming at times but just know that God has you just where He wants you and He knows just what He's doing! He's working things in your life as well.
I love you guys so much. Tell Stevie and Tawanna I said hello and I miss them and tell Jay to stay away from ammunition...and Mama!
Still hoping to see you all this summer...
Love,
Latrelle
To Marilyn,
I can't even imagine the journey your facing.I know it must be like looking down a dark well and not being able to see he bottom. You and I both know when the Lord says "jump" He's always there to catch you. Sometimes we have to fall much more than whats comfortable but never the less He'll still catch us.
You're going to find it hard to do but now you have to draw strength from all those that have drawn it from you. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to say "I need your help". There will be days you'll have to let someone else fight while you rest. Even the mightiest of warriors have to have rest and nourishment.
You've made a big impact on a lot of lives,and if you truly trust the Lord.... (as the song says) your a winner either way!!
You're in might thoughts, prayers and request. I've given this address to the only ones left, in our congregation, that knew your family. I expect you'll hear from them.
I've just asked God to keep His promises(and we know He does).To give you peace, strength and a place of refuge.We all need a hiding place sometime.
Exodus 14:13 "Fear Ye Not"...Stand Still!!! and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you today. You're facing a powerful advasary "BUT" you serve a much, much more powerful GOD. I place you in His hands...I know you'll be safe there.
Take care of "yourself" and Gods blessings on you.
Love Ya,
(your cousin)
Becky
