Jesus is Enough!

Hi Friends and Family,

Matt and I leave tomorrow for UCSF. My surgery is Monday morning at 7:30. Please pray for my surgeon, for the anesthesiologist, and for my nurses. Also please pray for Matt. my children who will be with Matt's parents, and my family.

I just want to share one thought before I leave you for now-something that has been playing through my mind as I face this surgery and plan for it (unlike the last one that just kind of came on quickly). I fully believe in the power of my God, and I know that He has planned my days from the time I was in my mother's womb. Having cancer has not changed that, it just makes the days a little more interesting. However, I want you all to know that should those days come to an end more quickly than any of us would like, my Jesus is enough. He has given me everything I need for this life. Whether I am healed or not, whether I have a long life or not, He is enough. He will be enough for my family, should they have to face a future with me or without me. He definitely loves them even more than I do-He gave His life for them. And He is enough for you, too.

So while I will gladly accept all of your prayers, and while I believe all will go well on Monday morning, just know that through it all, my Jesus is enough.

Fondly, Danene

Hi Danene! Been praying daily for you. I know that Jesus is in control and everything is going to be just fine! Got so much to share with you. Since my last stint in the hospital the Lord has been healing me from the inside/out
I know your journey has been hard at times, but he has always been there and will continue to give you strength and bring you peace. I know for sure that this time of testing will bring Glory to Our Father in Heaven and Praise to his Son Jesus Christ. You are right where he wants you !! May he bless and keep your family strong and comforted that All Things Work Out For Good to Those who are called according to his PURPOSE... Talk to you soon Danene. Judy Melcher
