I woke up with this girl on my heart this morning. I have been seeing people sharing her story and commenting on how strong and brave she is. My heart breaks for her and her family and what they are all going through but I have to speak out, respectfully and in love, against her decision. God alone knows the number of our days. As many of you know, I lost my Momma to stage 4 colon cancer in 2009. She was diagnosed in 2006. It was stage 4 already when it was discovered. She was given 3-6 months (6 with treatment and 3 without) to live. It was a crushing diagnosis but we turned to The Lord. He heard our cries and He answered. My mother lived 3 1/2 years. She was there for my college graduation. She watched me walk down the aisle on my wedding day. There are so many incredible moments she would have missed had she chosen to follow Brittneys logic. Was the end of her life difficult? Yes. Was it horrible and heartbreaking to watch? Yes. Was it worth all the moments we had in between? Absolutely. My momma touched lives between her diagnosis and her death. She influenced souls for eternity. Diminished quality of life does not reduce the value of life. Every single day is a gift, an opportunity, a second chance, regardless of the circumstances that surrounds it. Im not trying to start a debate and no one can change how I feel about this. I would just like to ask all of my believing FB friends to please lift up this young woman and her family in prayer. She makes no mention of belief in God or of her faith. The only thing more tragic than a life cut short is knowing she could be stepping off into eternity without knowing Jesus as her Savior. I pray that she would change her mind. I pray she would accept Jesus as her Savior if she doesnt know Him already. I pray that she would be filled with hope and surrounded in peace.
