I know a lot of you have been wondering how you can help. Well, here is a very practical way! Leanne wrote this on her blog earlier today.
Okay well I have lots of needs. . . BUT I have a need that you can help me with. . . One of the things I have been struggling with the most in this whole experience is fear. I can't explain it all but it is one of those things that just creeps up when I least expect it. It is the devil's way of getting into this situation and trying to take the glory away from God. I am working really, really hard to conquer this fear and repeat verses and phrases in my head to help me. I was thinking about how I can continue to conquer it and I decided that I wanted to write verses on 3 x 5 index cards and bind them together so I can flip to one every time the fear creeps in. Here is where all of you come in. Pick a verse, write it on an index card, write your name (and a note if you want) on the back of the card, and send it to me. I will put them all on a ring and keep them with me all the time. Here is the address:
17639 George Moran Drive
Eden Prairie, MN 55347
Thanks for being a part of my support team and for letting me be real. . . I know I can count on you to help me conquer this fear and show the devil that my God is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more powerful that he is!
Stay tuned this week for more practical ways to help!
Please keep praying for Leanne this week. She has her second round of chemo on Tuesday. Pray for strength, health, and peace.

Hang in there Leanne. I kept thinking after each chemo 1 down ___ to go. The first couple are the toughest and then I thought they got easier. Let people take care of you. That is huge! It will be over before you know it. I am coming up on my 5 year cancer-free anniversary in March. You have lots of support and strength!
Leanne,
