ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Without going into deep personal business, I would love to shout out loud(update you) on my sweet sweet friend Carolyn Shook.

Stanford told her it was in both lungs, and possibly other places. The surgeon said it was inoperable and refused to do the surgery.In fact they told her 20 months or less... So My friend, her husband and both children prepared for what was to come...imminent death.

With the pleas from family and close friends, Carolyn decided to go to M.D. Anderson Cancer center in Houston for a second opinion. Upon arriving to the Center one of the nurses was very concerend with an infection she had along with the cancer. A rare infection, the same one that killed Jim Henson(The Muppets)

They wanted to focus on healing her from that before addressing the inoperable lung cancer. Anyways....a very long emotional story, cut short...(again prsonal) to tell you that she told me three days ago, that after they did surgery and removed 2/3rds of her left lung they told her that she only had cancer in that lung and one lymph node. The next step??? Just 4 Chemo treatments....YEA!!!!!!

What a miracle! Joel and I were able to drive down to Houston last week and see her and Jim. She looked wonderful! She and I got to go for a walk(YES just 5 days after lung surgery)while Joel and Jim caught up on life and all the medical issues. It was fantastic to see them!!!! I love them so very much, and want EVERYONE to know that they have been a tremendous blessing in our all of our family's lives!


I hope this does not discourage you if you or someone you love, is battling a terminal illness, and have not gotten "good news" I pray that the devil will not rob you of the gift of joy and ability to celebrate for others.

You are dear to Him and His plans for all of us are very different. If you are struggling and need someone to pray with you please e-mail me your phone number... I promise I will call and pray with you! kimquile@gmail.com If you live close by I would love to drive over, or meet and pray for you in person.

I pray your heart is filled with a Godly joy and an undeniable passion to enter into His presence. You will truly receive a great and timeless treasure.
