To all,
I am typing this special message from Jessica today - the day we finally leave:
Hi all, Thank you all for all of your love & support!
I can't believe I am hours away from going to Mexico! I am excited, hopeful,... also a little scared, even though the thought of spending the rest of my life like this is far more terrifying.
I am so grateful to my family. My Mom has given up her life to be by my side and has been my rock. My sisters, Katherine and Michelle and my Dad have been so supportive and have sacrificed so much for me. Thank you!
I know that God has brought me this far all for a reason and I know that He will see me through this treatment too.
"I can do all things in Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Jessica, another great VISION in my inbox... living the life of your dreams is a lot like sailing.
ReplyDeleteYou pick your destination, hoist up your sail, make minor adjustments while the journey is underway, and let the wind do all the hard work.
In other words, imagine the end result, do what little you can, make minor adjustments while the journey is underway, and let me blow your mind.
Phe-e-e-e-e-e-e-w!

Love Nancy!!!! Sail to Mexico!!

Hello Nancy Sustersic,
We live in Minnesota and deer ticks and lyme disease is very common up here, thankfully a round of antibiotics usually takes care of it if caught early enough.
Having two healthy 13 and 8 year old daughters, it deeply saddens me to see what Jessica is going through. Life is so fragile. Who really knows what God has planned for Jessica but I am certain that He is using her for something special.
Our family's home away from home is Sanibel, we usually spend about 3 weeks a year down there, if it weren't for family up here we would move there in an instant.
Please give me details about how I can help support Jessica financially.
Best wishes and thank you for getting involved trying to help Jessica.
Sincerely, Alan
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteOur family and many have you in their prayers today....The Lord and his heavenly host of angels are with you...We love you xoxoxoxo
Mark 11:22-24
"Have faith in God...Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen,it will be done for him. "Therefore, I tell you,whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours."
Love & Blessings,
John, Angela & the boys....
