Dedicated to MaryAnne Ysabella Brave and Friends

Dear Group,

I have been following Ysabella for a few years.  I have commented here a few times.  I am in a position to finally understand her connection with Him, to understand the Spiritual strength she has. 

I have a strong connection with God also.  I developed this connection thru my recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous.  The basis for recovery in AA is a faith in God. I have found this faith and have turned my life over to Him completely. 

I believe that everything that happens in my life is part of His plan for me.  I only have to have the faith to hold onto His hand and trust Him.

I have believed for a long time that I need not fear anything because He is holding my hand and leading me along the path He has laid out for me.

Well, I am now in position to see if that faith is as strong as I think it is.

I was diagnosed with cancer a week ago.  I am now proving to myself that the faith I have is not conditional.  It really is buoying up.

I have not experienced a moments fear or anxiety.  Whatever happens I can trust Him to protect me.

This is the faith and trust I believe Ysabella has.  The pain and other distresses are not the thing to focus on.  It is the spiritual connection that counts.

You are in our prayers!  I have also found God from the example of MaryAnne, and the power is indeed immense.

I have some things I'd like to share with you privately, so feel free to write me at barrelrep@aol.com.   We'll be moved over to Hawaii (Kailua-Kona, Big Island) in a few weeks and I want very much to be in touch on a number of matters concerning health and spirituality.

Dennis, I am keeping you in my prayers as well - and praying that whatever happens in our lives, we will remember and trust in God's love.    

Hi, all,

Well, the surgery went off with a hitch.  What I had trouble with was the anesthesia withdrawl.  That

took seven days of insanity.

On the third or fourth day some thing in the back of my mind told me I had not talked with God since the

surgery.  After that third or fourh day I felt my sanity being restored.

Physically I now feel, on a scale of one to ten, I am a four, there is more to do there.

Spiritually, except for the mental break right after the surgery, I am already back to a ten.  I need to have

no fear about what might happen further along this, Gods, road for me.

I see this as evidence of having had a profound spiritual experience. 

Thank you for all your prayers and love.  It takes all that plus my own faith in God that makes work.  I had to be

told afterwards how many people came to see me in the hospital.  I fear I remember almost none of them,

even those that came two or three times, but I was told about it later and I feel greatly honored by their support

and yours.

Based on my own experience, I beg of you to keep your prayers and love coming for MaryAnne.  She can have the same experience.

I love you all,

Dennis Fleming
