In need of a miracle

Today, I called my dear friend Megan who is in St. George. She and her husband Josh were in Salt Lake this past weekend for a wedding and to have new sets of tests done in conjunction with her cancer treatment. I called her today to see if she received her results and the news was not good. Her tumors have grown and are now on her spine. I sat and listened to her tell me that her Oncologist gave her two options. 1-try another chemo that would probably not touch the tumors or 2-don't do anything and be medicated for comfort. She said she didn't like either option. I was really impressed that in the entire conversation, she never said that she should give up and she spoke of her faith the entire time. Today was the first time since she told me she had cancer that I was actually mad. It was a surprise. I love Meg and want so badly for a miracle to come quickly. The first time I met Meg, she and I seemed to connect immediatly and I found an instant friend. That had never happened to me before then and I have cherished our friendship ever since. Megan and I are convinced that Dave and Josh served a mission together just so we could meet and become friends. The Lord placed her in my life for a reason. She has seen me through some difficult times and I am hoping that I can help her through this horrible ordeal. I intend to wear out my knees in prayer for Meg and her family.
