How do you ever deal with the horrible things of life without God in your life? That's what I've been asking myself since I heard of my friend's death Monday evening. I have my Christian family and friends to help me through this, but what do people who don't know God as their Savior, do to get through times like this? My friend had breast cancer that was found 3 years ago. The saddest thing about this all is that my friend found a lump but didn't do anything about it because she was so scared for THREE years..........I'm sure she was doing a lot of IF ONLY conversations when she first heard the news. As I watched her pain and agony through the surgeries and treatments, I wondered if she was a Christian yet. My dear friend who is a stay at home mom, was able to be with our friend in her last weeks so she wouldn't be alone. My dear friend said she knew that when she left Monday that it would be the last time she'd see this friend. I pray that my dear friend had a chance to tell this friend who died, about God during the times they were alone.
I have flashbacks about my dad's death at 57 from Lung Cancer. It seems that everywhere I go there is cancer affecting someone's life.
Father, I just pray that you'll be with Lynne's family as they deal with losing her. Help them to heal from this very sad time.
On a lighter note, our basement is coming along. Little by little it is being transformed from an unfinished basement to a finished basement. I can't wait to see how it looks when it's done! It truly is amazing how much needs to be done with each step of the building process. Not having gone through this before it's interesting to find out all the details of a project like this.

Oh how sad Lynn had to die at such a young age. I hope she wasn't tormented by the "if onlys", but it is definitely a lesson for the rest of us.
Oh yes, I've had to deal with the construction mess most of my married life! ;) We've built two homes and this last one is our LAST one. We've done most of the work ourselves because my husband is a perfectionist (but he IS good). But that takes YEARS of living with the mess, especially when its 7000 sq feet (inc. basement). Its getting there, but you have to get use to drywall dust. (Enjoy!)
So sorry about your friend -- prayers for her family.
Fun basement project!!!
