This is a clip of a post from the "Girl Talk" blog. I listened to Rachel's testimony this week and was humbled by her relationship with Jesus Christ and by the way she communicated about a good God in the midst of her suffering and impending death from cancer. Please listen to her message or watch it on video. It will help you to "number your days" as Rachel's have been numbered by her cancer.
"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
"We had a post ready for today, but we’re not going to put it up. This afternoon, we received an email from a girl talk reader named Shaila, in Vancouver, Canada. Her best friend, Rachel Barkey has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Rachel is a wife, a mother of two children, and she is not expected to live to see her 38th birthday.
Several weeks ago, Rachel shared a message with a group of women entitled “Death is Not Dying: A Faith that Saves.” We were so affected as we watched this video that we wanted to share it with you right away.
Many people have asked Rachel, “Why? Why is this happening to you? To Neil? To Kate and Quinn? To your family and friends?”
“I don’t ask ‘why?’” says Rachel. “Because I know.”
