  1. Amy,
    I have recently heard of your diagnosis and just started viewing your blog. Your faith is inspiring. You have come to my mind so many times in the last few days, I wake at night to pray for you! May He continue to bring you peace as you rest in knowing that He has ultimate control over your life. May He continue to be glorified!

  3. Hi Amy ~ I am a friend of the Zigrangs. They told me about your blog which is a wonderful way of glorifying our Lord. I was diagnosed April 2008 with stage IIIC uterine cancer but the aggressive type. Get ready for an amazing journey. Through all my surgeries, chemo, and radiation the Lord has blessed me and His Word has encouraged me over and over as I know He will do the same for you. I will be praying for your healing and for continued peace that only our Lord can give. Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." II Cor. 1:3&4, Psalm 112:7, Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 41:13, John 14:27, and Lamentaions 3:22, 23 are just a few of the verses that have ministered to me.
    Blessings,

  4. Hi Amy,
    Laurel said that you were praying for me when I was having my lumpectomy. That meant so much to me since you don't even know me. I have been reading your blog and I am blown away by your calmness and faith. I know that you must have the rollercoaster of emotions but you are such an example to me. I know that God has allowed my cancer to be part of my life for a reason. I know that He loves me so much. But, I have really struggled to remain calm and I just wanted to tell you that you are an awesome example of someone who has a strong faith that is really lived out. I am praying for you a lot. Love, Heather Groff

  6. Amy,
    You do not know me; I live in Pine Grove, but I heard of your story on WGAL and was instantly inspired! You have such faith. Continue to believe that our good Lord will carry you every step of the way. I just in May lost my uncle to cancer. He fought for 18 years and I believe in my heart that our Lord was with him every step of every day. May you continue to have such faith and strength through your journey. I will pray for you!
