Day 5 for Marcus in his journey with Chemo treatments----

I just spoke with Marcus on the phone and he said that actually he is doing pretty good.
He said his treatments are only once every 2 weeks for about 5 hours a day.
He did have a bad day on Tuesday but feels better today- Thursday-
He actually was able to get up and go out with some friends. So that is very exciting and hopeful.

Marcus, know that we are all "walking with Christ" for you and for your full recovery.
When you get a chance, come to our site and write to us so we can hear from you your words as to how well you are doing.

Know that God is with you and watching over you. We love you Marcus. We are walking with Christ again today for you as you continue to make this long journey to total healing.

Day 4 for Linda and Day 5 for Marcus

Today is day 4 and day 5 for chemo treatments for Marcus and Linda-- So today I begin again my "Walking with Christ" for Marcus and Linda-----

I haven't been able to speak with Marcus yet about how he is doing with his chemotherapy treatment. It has been 5 days now for Marcus. Marcus, I am praying for you and "Walking with Christ" for you each day so that you will feel God's great love for you and know how very special you are to Him and to us. I am so sorry you are having to go through this ordeal with chemo to rid your body of cancer. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I am pulling for you Marcus with all the angels and saints in heaven.

God Bless you and keep you safe in His arms. Sharon

Today is day 4 for Linda and she has been really sick. The chemo is trying to kill any cancer cells that might still be in her body from Melanoma cancer. In the process, the chemo is making her very sick and weak.

Linda, I am praying for you too and "Walking with Christ" daily for you too. I am praying that God will surround you will all of His heavenly angels and guard you in all of your ways. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I am pulling for you too.

May you and Marcus rest peacefully today in between your sick spells. May the Lord grant you His grace and love today.

I love you Linda and Marcus. God is with you and so are we.

God bless you both.

Walking with Christ for you both today again..

I have spoken with Linda today. Today is day 2 of her chemotherapy. So far she is only feeling moderately sick. We are hoping that this will stay true for her. We will see.
Linda we love you and are praying for you.

Marcus, I don't know yet how things are going for you. I know you started major infusion of chemotherapy on Sunday, July 26 early in the morning and that it lastest for 12 hours. I am hoping and praying that you will not be sick at all, but if you feel sick, that it will only be minimal.

Linda and Marcus, know that I am "walking with Christ" for you and I am embracing in my heart the journey that Jesus walked on the VIA DOLOROSA. This is the journey He made to Calvary.
You two are on your own journey to Calvary. I am sure you feel like you have been in the "Agony of the Garden" these past few days. Know that you Never walk alone. Know that Jesus is on the road with you and that I too am "walking with Christ" for you to Calvary so that you both will feel His love and His hope these next days, weeks and months through this year as you take chemotherapy.

There is no greater love than the Lord. We unite our love with Jesus for you. We intend to "help lift that cross off your shoulders" and "carry it for you as much as the Lord will allow us too" , especially through prayer, so you can have a pause in between this painful, difficult journey.

Always remember that after every "Good Friday" journey, there is the Joy of the Resurrection." so please, "Be Not Afraid."

Walking with Christ for you both.
Love you,

Sharon

Walking With Christ- the journey with Linda and Marcus as they take their chemotherapy!

Sunday, July 26, Marcus Milless, my newest son in laws brother began his chemotherapy treatment to rid his young body of Lymphatic cancer. Marcus will have to take chemotherapy for 8 months. Marcus is a senior at St. Thomas University and has been studying to be a priest for the past 3 years. Only God understands why Marcus has developed this disease.
Not all things make sense to us as humans, but Marcus is still in God's Hands and loving care. And, Marcus has all of our love and care for him too as he makes this journey at this time of his life. Marcus we are praying and pulling for you. Sharon and Joe Stiles

Today, Monday, July 27, my dear older sister Linda, started her chemotherapy treatment. I have cried for days now knowing since June 19 that Linda was diagnosed with Melanoma cancer.
But, I know that God is with her and that in some mysterious way that God is holding her hand and carrying her through this time - her own personal "agony in the garden." Linda, I love you and I am also praying for you daily just like I am for Marcus.

Watching you and Marcus and other dear close friends of mine go through the journey of having to take chemotherapy has caused me to take a closer look at my "walk with Christ" and so that is why I have named this blog, "sharon- walking with Christ."

I look to you both as people of deep faith and I see how you two are walking so closely with Christ already. This is my hope for all of us - that we will all look to Christ and lean on Him alone as we journey together this next year, praying for your courage and strength to face this ordeal and be healed in the process.

Know that you both are being lifted up to Mary, Jesus' mother, the great intercessor, and to the dear Holy Spirit who provides wisdom in times when there seems to be nothing but confusion.

May you be blessed and know how dear you are to Jesus, Mary and the Holy Spirit of God Almighty.

You are loved. Let's walk together now with Christ
