xanga photos videos blogrings metros profiles   Read or Post Comments Saturday, October 20, 2007 Wife and Mother         I do feel that I know at least one purpose in my life- to be the wife and mother to my children that God intended. I love my life and do not feel purposeless     (even though I feel frustrated at times ).   I feel I have to trust God one day at a time to reveal other purposes. I would love to have some type of ministry with women, even a small Bible Study. I would love this interaction, plus have a yearning to impact some of the wisdom God has given me to other women.

What a beautiful heart. Posted 10/20/2007 9:32 PM by coolmomofeight - reply ...and she did just that.  Thank you so much for posting these notes. What a joy it is to still be able to come back here and read her beautiful words of wisdom from her heart. I can't imagine how comforting they must be to you guys as well. Blessings! Posted 10/21/2007 12:25 AM by My3girlsandtheboy - reply She truly did have a ministry and still does! Blessings, Gina Posted 10/21/2007 2:57 PM by dunn1987 - reply Dear Greg, I sit here with tears streaming down my face...I knew of Beverly's fight to live. I did not know God had chosen to take her home...until today. I can't remember the exact time that I came upon Beverly's blog, but I do remember that when I found it...I knew I had hit upon a gold mine. I first came upon her site when she was confessing a deed that she had done, and she was wanting to make restitution for it. In her telling of the event, I was taken aback by her honesty and candidness and her willingness to be so open about her true self and sinful motives...I was touched. I signed on to prescribe to her site right away...she was a keeper. I have never met a woman as authentic and genuine about herself as was she. There was NO hypocrisy with her...she was willing to be made vulnerable. That made me love her. She was so easy to love...being of a humble heart. After that I looked forward regularly to reading her site. I feel as close to her family as if I knew you...she talked about her family often. I contacted Beverly by phone once (she e-mailed me her number) because I wanted to discuss with her the health situation and tell her of the hope that I had found through glyconutritionals. However, she felt that God was leading her a different way and she did not want anything to disturb her focus in that. Later, after a relapse that put her back in the hospital, I approached her again about the glyconutritionals...wondering if she might want to reconsider. In the commotion of being in the hospital and away from her site, she apparently overlooked the e-mail for upon my inquiring she commented back that she apologized for missing it. I never heard from her again. I accepted that as a "no" for her from God. Shortly thereafter, I had some events going on in my own life that kept me from keeping up with Xanga and reading her blog. It must have been soon after that when she started to go downhill quickly. It is only today that I learned the sad news. I often worried about Beverly being so positive about God healing her...especially with her serious diagnosis. But I came to peace about it, for one way or another...whether by taking her home or leaving her here to be healed, God would see to heal her. I am glad she had hope to the end. I hoped right along with her, never thinking of taking away that hope, for that is what kept her going, persevering. Because God makes no mistakes and is in sovereign control over all things, I know he took her home in His perfect timing. Oh, how her life touched so many...and will continue to do so. I will remember her always. One day, we shall meet again. So, dear Greg, my heart goes out to you, as her husband, because I can only imagine the pain of leaving my own husband behind. I know she loved you dearly and would not want you to have to be in pain without her. Oh, the pain of life...to have been together one and then to be torn from each other. I can only say, dear brother, that I will be praying for you and your family as you face your grief silently and together, that God will be very near to you. May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

My heart is heavy and Posted 10/24/2007 11:49 PM by kendallz - reply I just re-discovered this comment that Beverly left me last year: "Oh Shanda, what a fun day you are going to have. And your little guy is soooo cute; I want him. LOL Your words on my blog are such a blessing to me Shanda. I would love to know you. Have a greeeeaaaat day!! Love, Beverly" I miss her. Posted 11/2/2007 6:17 PM by purpleamethyst76 - reply I just found another comment that she left me that I thought you would like to know about: "Oh I love Peanuts. Thank you for sharing that with me. We do need laughter, don't we. My kids provide a lot of that for me. It sounds like yours do too. Thank you Shanda for your always kind comments on my blog. A lot of what I write, I am really writing to preserve. One day the Lord might have me put it in a book, and if it is on my blog, then it is down. For years I just treasured them up in my mind, but never wrote in journals, etc. I love writing it, even though some days it is hard to get the time. But whether I ever write a book or not, I want these things written down for my children. Even though I believe that God is healing me of this cancer, and is giving me many more years on earth, the truth is none of us are promised tomorrow, and I want my kids to know many of the things that have influenced my life. All my love, Beverly" Wow, all I can say is, I miss this dear lady.   I can't wait to see you someday, Beverly, in heaven. Posted 11/2/2007 6:21 PM by purpleamethyst76 - reply I must say after rereading this post that Beverly DID reach her desire of impacting women with the wisdom God gave her. I really miss reading Bevs wisdom, she was such a blessing to me. Praying for you and the children. (((((HUGS))))) Bevs friend from Maine Michelle Posted 11/6/2007 2:31 PM by coolmomofeight - reply Dear Greg, Jennifer, through her site, let us know it is yours and Bev's anniversary today. Just to tell you, I am thinking about you and sending you prayers from BC, Canada. I miss Bev and must say was shattered when I hear she had passed away. I was believing with and for her. Praying God shines His light on your paths, and that He proves to you His faithfulness and love. He has not forgotten you or your sweet children...In the meantime, Bev lives joyously on in Heaven.She is not in your past only, but in your future too. Love, Christal Posted 11/19/2007 9:00 PM by Christal - reply Thinking about your family today. I pray for you daily. Blessings!
