It's sure has been awhile since I've wrote with all my trips but today I just feel the need to write about what a blessing I received last night. Logan and I along with 5 of our friends, his dad and grandparents all gathered in the most spirited country church I've ever been in. This little church is located in an older house back a gravel road..it doesn't look like much but God is really working in that church. I walked in not expecting anything, the only reason I went was because Logan was speaking about his journey through the past year and left with a fire burning inside me. I pray that God will give me the words to type in this that just maybe one person can read this and feel just a little of how I am feeling. Last night I saw another precious soul handed over to God. That sweet child is now a child of my Saviour. I was overjoyed that this little girl gave her life the Christ but my heart was so heavy when my best friend leaned over and told me that one of our friends that was there also hadn't made that commitment. I watched his mom cry on that homemade altar praying for her son. I knew her heart was breaking knowing he wasn't saved. She talked to Logan and I afterwards thanking us for coming and for Logan sharing his testimony and told us she thought with him being there speaking it would've been his night to make that step. But that sweet lady isn't doubting her Lord at all she reassured us that when God wanted him saved it would happen. Logan's testimony blessed me so much, knowing that it would have been so easy to give up on life but he chose to let God carry him and make good out of it just brings tears to my eyes. He thanks God for the cancer, he praises God for every hard day he had. In the beginning when the doctor told him he'd never step back on that court he was absolutely crushed but over the past few months he has realized that God took it away for a reason, there was some other way he needed to spend his time. He began searching God for exactly what that answer was and his answer is through speaking and sharing his journey to help other people. Last night was only his 3rd time speaking but I believe God has great and big things in plan for him. He knows that without God he wouldn't be who he is today. After speaking at our school last week a girl told him that he was crazy God wouldn't do such a thing as cancer to him and his reply was you are right he didn't do it to me, he did it for me. There was more crying, praising, shouting, and praying last night that I had experienced in a long time and I just thank God for convincing me to go to this little make shift church out in the sticks last night because it has gave me a new fire for my Lord.

I must say I've never been through this but God will lead you in the right direction. He can perform miracles. I'm living proof, you can read my posts to see what I mean if it would help. Praying for your peace and strength!

Thanks to my Saviour, Jesus Christ, Logan's 2 spots on his lungs were not cancer and are fine!! The true example of the power of prayer. If you have enough faith God will answer your prayers. All I can do is praise Him for his glory and thank all of you who prayed for him. I am overjoyed with this news!!! thank you God!

Praise God No cancer!!! I knew God would pull us through!!! Thank you guys so much for praying!

I literally get chills just reading these replies. God is so amazing. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for praying. Logan loves to read all these I know it means so much to him. I'm getting butterflies thinking about tomorrow but I know because of awesome people like you praying for us everything will be alright! Much love!!

Thank you so so much

I post all the time about my boyfriend Logan, who has recently battled cancer, and thankfully won the battle. I'm very uneasy tonight worrying what next monday may bring. He goes back for scans and tests to make sure there's no reoccuring cancer, I know that God already knows the outcome and we've decided that no matter what the outcome is we will glorify and give praise to him but i ask you all to pray for good results and for us that we may handle whatever happens in a way that God would want us too. Thanks so much, prayers has got us this far so don't stop now.

Yesterday was one year. One year since my life was turned around. One year since I had recieved that dreadful call. One year since the thought of loosing my best friend first entered my mind. But most importantly yesterday marked a promise I recieved from God. I'm sure, if you've read anything that I've posted before you know that I'm talking about, yesterday marked one year since Logan was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. It's been a roller coaster ride, I'm not going to say this year has been awful but by far it hasn't been great. I recieved a call on Feb. 9, 2010 at around 7 p.m. It was Logan. I can remember the exact words and everything about our few word conversation but that's little deep. Long story short he built up enough strength to utter the words "It's cancer". That night I prayed harder than I ever had before just trying to get some peace and courage. That night God promised me that if I would stay strong in my faith He'd show me my reward later. I waited almost 9 months for it but now I know that reward was to have a happy healthy boyfriend/best friend that I thank Him for every night before I close my eyes. We decided that yesterday would be trying at times but we were going to celebrate the fact that God brought him through this and he is CANCER FREE All praise be to God. I had a hard time deciding where to put this because I do also have a prayer request so if you're reading this just pretend it's under prayer requests. Anyway he is going back about 2 weeks for scans/tests to check for any new signs of cancer so we are putting it in God's hands because he already knows the outcome but let's pray for a great outcome!!

Mark- I thoughts what I was under when I wrote this- woops! But thanks for praying! TJ- Thank you for that!

Well yesterday was my preachers last day at our church, he's been there 6 years and has seen alot at that church. I ask you all to pray that God will give us another preacher that will do His Will and that my old preacher will have great success at his new church. Also my boyfriend said last night he feels like he needs to rededicate himself after everything he has been through....any comments?? I'm kinda clueless on what to tell him...

I love how much I can learn from reading these comments!! Marcus- I hope I never have to experience anything that you or he has went through but I thank God for it because it's really taught me alot.

Mrs. P- I did not aim for it to sound like that...something I'd do, I'm always making typo's! But thanks for you're advise I do understand what you are saying! Katie- Thank you so so much!

No, because there's no doubt in my mind where I'll be and Who I'll be with when I die.

Hey guys alot of you have probably read my posts about my best friend Logan thats recently fought cancer. If you haven't and want to get filled in go right ahead and read my previous posts. In my last post I said that God was doing great things between us and I'm proud to say he's now my boyfriend. Anyway just to update you, he is doing great! Just got back from a much needed vacation with his family and is better than ever. Tonight as we were talking he said something that really stuck to me.. It's really hard on him having to give up his favorite sport of basketball but tonight he said God's showing me the things that are most important in my life by taking away whats not but I thought was. I loved this and I wish more people would realize this instead of being mad at God for things. I jus thought I'd share this with you guys. Keep Praying. Much Love, Leah
