Wings of Hope
A true story of Hope and Inspiration
By Cindy Russell
A book a book about Life from the eyes of those that fight every day a battle that sometimes seemer bigger than them. When you read through the chapters of this book you will find that you are not alone in these battles. Sometimes when you have spent month fighting for your life you forgot how to live. Fear is everywhere who is going take care of everyone while I am sick or if I do not make it. From just plain I do not know why I am here, eating disorders, panic attacks and illness. How to come out of it with a better sense of yourself. A Personal Journal of a Cancer patient and the medical system how to get where you need to be what quesitons to ask. What to do when you can no longer get out of bed your life still has meaning it has just changed its shape. How family and friends are affected and where do they get thier comfort.
Everyday that you are here you make a difference in some way to those you love and those that are going through this battle. Yes there have been many books written by those that face this but as with everything else in life there is always more to learn and Faith in knowing there is Hope for as all.
Wings of Hope the book written by Cindy Russell from Livermore Ca. This book is a personal testimony and devotional dedicated to Him. How many times God was there to help me through many rough times from a young child to now as an adult with a serious illness. To inspire others to look to him for help in all things.Every moment was a challenge to keep going but there was always something inside pushing me forward.
Even in the worst circumstances life is worth every moment and has meaning. We all have a purpose and the things that happen to us are for a reason. We may not know why or how we are going to get through it but he does.
Thank you to my family, my friends and my church who spent many moments with me as I battled this with your prayers. As you all know many things have changed for me and I have continued to grow in my Faith. I feel the strength of the prayers from all of you who where a part of this journey.
This is my story and how he gave me Hope and Faith got me through it. In the pages there is a battle between what the human emotions of fear, doubt and the strength of learning to overcome it through my faith. I hope others will find healing from this book as I share what God did for me.
You just need to be faithful to him and pray for his strength when things challenge you. The many times I look back now and see that all I needed to do was remember that he was there. Things that came against me where to try and destroy that faith I had and it almost won many times. But thankfully instead it made my bond with him stronger.
Many of us face different kinds of challenges and we try and face them alone. I hope my story helps others to see the miracles that happen every day. I pray that Wings of Hope will help others look to God for guidance and answers. In times when you are truly suffering as many are there is healing for those who seek him.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him.
Revelation 3:20
I Stop and Pray
Each day when I wake up with a new day ahead of me and wonder what will this day bring
I stop and pray thank you God for another day
As the day goes on full of trials and the peace it began with is broken by a hurried existence
I stop and pray for God to give me the strength to face it
When the day becomes full of problems that I can not face full of fear and doubt I can not deal with
I stop and pray God give me faith in who I am
As the day goes on and my strength has run out my mind wants to run and hide some where safe
I stop and pray God give a spirit of hope and not defeat
When the day is going down a path that I can not see any light at the end of it and need to find peace again
I stop and pray God light my way
When I look around and I feel so alone and lost as if no one sees me at all and feel invisible
I stop and pray God shine a light on me
Finally at the end of the day when I have exhausted all my strength and I am at my weakest
I stop and pray God restore me
When I lie down to sleep and close my eyes and rest my tired body and mind not sure if tomorrow will come
I stop and pray God watch over me tonight
In the next days light I awake and feel peaceful another new day
a head with hope again
I stop and pray thank you God -Amen
This is story for all who have
battled cancer or a chronic illness.
