"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

My sweet friend, Manda

One of my old teaching buddies and sweet friend, Manda, is going through a very hard time. Just 6 days after her baby boy Aiden was born, the doctors discovered that she had cancer in her leg. Now, two weeks later, they have decided to move forward and remove her leg and begin the journey that will include chemo and radiation. Her Sunday School class has given Manda a pager and every time you pray for her, her husband Aaron or baby Aiden, please send her a page to let her know. You don't need to put in your phone number, just type in something like 111 so she knows she was prayed for. God is so big, and we know He is in control! The number is 972-229-4207. Thank you so much! We love you, Manda!

Will definately pray for her and her family. My teacher friends in Ennis are friends with Manda. Just saw on their facebook page to pray for their friend Manda who has cancer in her leg. Small world...lots of prayers!!!
