May Sammy get the healing from treatment and a better life. You were a blessing in her path.
Sammy is someone's daughter. May God hold her close, providing comfort and easing her pain.
May The Lord be kind yet stern on this path, to give the grace she asks for and the strength to keep to it. May His hand be firm, and His light ever bright to guide those who are lost into a better tomorrow.
As Jesus said, if paraphrased a bit, "Let any who would follow me pick up their cross daily to do so." The path to bettering ones self, and to goodness and God, is not easy. Any preacher who tells you that following Christ would alleviate your burdens and make your life easy lied to you. But that makes it even more worthwhile.
We should all be proud of Sammy for taking the first steps to being a better person. To fixing her life, to finding God. That she reached out for help is a great sign, and I pray that she can stick to walking the better road.
That was beautiful Theo, thanks again for running this, and thanks for telling us about Sammy so that we can send love and prayers to someone who really needs it.
Sammy is in my prayers.
