Catherine's blog

I will always thank the Lord;
I will never stop praising him.
I will praise him for what he has done;
may all who are oppressed listen and be glad!
Proclaim with me the Lord's greatness;
let us praise his name together.
I prayed to the Lord and he answered me;
he freed me from all of my fears.
Find out for yourself how good the Lord is.
Happy are those who find safety with him.
The Lord is near to those who are discouraged;
he saves those who have lost all hope.
The Lord will save his people;
those who go to him for protection will be spared.

Selected lines from Psalm 34

Thankyou, God, for everything you are doing for our daughter.

This is Catherine's story: Expect Miracles

This is Catherine's blog. Catherine is now six years old and is in remission from leukaemia (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia - ALL). Leukaemia is a rare yet treatable form of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood. This blog began at the start of her treatment in August 2008. The treatment lasted until October 2010. She went into remission remarkably early and the treatment was focussed on making sure the disease never returned. Over 15000 people have prayed for Catherine during the past three years for which her parents are deeply grateful. So many people love Catherine that it was hard to update everyone, so her parents began this blog to keep everyone updated. Catherine is the daughter of two Salvation Army Officers in the UK. This blog is a place to be updated, to send wishes to the parents and basically for everyone who knows Catherine (or doesn't) to be able to find out more about her progress. Feel free to post comments, concerns and questions. All prayers for Catherine at this time continue to be warmly received by her parents and Catherine's extended family. Catherine is now receiving blood tests and will be monitored regularly until she is ten-year-old when she will be give the official 'all clear'. Her parents especially welcome readers who are experiencing a child dealing with any form of cancer. Their prayer is that this blog will help them in their journeys.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Exodus 14:14

'The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still'

Psalm 41:3

'The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness'

"Those who fix their eyes on the past risk a severe collision with the future.Those who see only the future hit much too hard the speed bumps of today.Only those who fix their eyes on God can effectively negotiate the right pace of life."
