Sleepless

I can't sleep.

It's 1am and I wish I could because tomorrow will probably be a looong day. But other people will have a longer day than me. Those people are Tom and Alison. That is why I can't sleep.

If you have been keeping up with Tom's posting, through Alison's and his blog, you know that Alison's poor body can't take much more. You can see his latest post on his blog with the update from yesterday (8/4).

When you read this, please stop and say a prayer for them and their families.

Prayers needed...

Please pray for Tom and Alison. Tom was in my class in high school. Thanks to the blogging world, I have gotten in contact with Alison sometime last year. Alison was diagnosed with Neuroendocrine cancer in 2006 and has had every -scopy that you can think of. She has been through so much. Her spirit has been amazing and her faith in God is always evident and their love for each other is beautiful! She is currently in the hospital and is in a great deal of pain. You can get the whole story by reading their blogs. Their links are on my side bar under their names. Please keep them in your prayers and also their families. Thank you to all you prayer warriors!

On a side note - Anitra was teaching Senica yesterday that God doesn't think we are beautiful by our physical appearance, but what our hearts look like. When I was thinking of their conversation on the way to work today, Alison was the first person that came to my mind. Not only is she physically beautiful, but has an even more beautiful heart. Tom does too. And mine breaks for the both of theirs.

Dear God, I pray for Alison's pain to subside and for her to be able to wake up and talk with Tom, just the two of them. I pray that together they can feel your arms wrapped around them. Let them not only feel your love, but the love of their family and friends.
