December 2007

So I was just back in the USA for one week!

I spent 1 1/2 days in NYC to get my Indian Employment VISA, and visited my dear friend Marissa.

Please pray for her as she starts radiation this week. Many of you already know she is fighting cancer in many areas of her body and just found out this week it has spread into the bones in her ribs. She is probably one of the most caring, courageous and ambitious women I know, and is enjoying each day despite her weakness and the pain... Please ask God for healing and mercy for her and her family.

I then took a night bus to Cleveland (what a trek!) and had an early Christmas with my family.. It was a lovely time and I'm missing them again as I'm back in Hyderabad. Mom, you're daily dearer to my heart.

Dear friends, I've chosen to stay far but you're all near to my heart ad in my mind. I pray for strength and joy to encompass your lives today, this holiday season, and the whole new year through.

Much love,

Shanely Rae
