Godly Women

What does it mean to be a Godly woman? When I think of the answer to this question one woman in particular comes to mind. She has been on my mind lately. She is such an inspiration to me and I love her. Her name is Lynn and she has walked a difficult road for many years. Her husband was diagnosed with leukemia almost eight years ago. Two weeks ago he started having some strange behaviors. After taking him into the hospital they found lesions on his brain that were biopsied. They came back as fungal. I think we all felt a sigh of relief that he would take the medicine and would eventually be better. Last week Lynn found out that he also has a brain mass that came back as lymphoma. The doctors warned her and her children that this time he is terminal. Wow....
so I think of her often because she has walked this path that she wouldn't have chosen for herself. She has been by her husband through rough, hard times. He has been in and out of the hospital numerous times. Her life and his in a moments notice 8 years ago was changed for the worst. She is Godly to me even thru her/his hard times because she is still with him. I am sure she has screamed out and asked why. Why me Lord, but she still continues to give God all the glory. Her faith to me is massive!!! I don't think just the average woman could have endured this test of faith. I think you have Lynn, and I continue to pray for you as you and your children walk through the rest of this path you are on. My heart is heavy for her to become a widow at the age of 49. I can't even imagine. It is my prayer that you continue to lean on the Lord. That you make Him all that you need. I love you my sister and my friend!!
I read Psalm 91 today and it made me think of you both.
