Ridgell's Originals

Many of you know Dana Rideout. She has been battling brain cancer for two years and is about one year past the Doctor's projections of her life span. For some time, her daughter and son-in-law had been trying to get pregnant. About nine months ago, during a "treatment" to assist them, Dana was able to accompany her daughter and specifically prayed that God would grant them two healthy children. He did.

A couple of months ago, Dana went back into the hospital and the outlook was grim. Our elders did a couple of annointings, we prayed intently at each chemo treatment, and prayed specifically for healing and that Dana would live to see the twins born. Dana had a great deal of trouble talking and would write notes. Sometimes they were hard to read. But one night when Marsha and I were sitting with Dana and her husband, she wrote a note that I got.

"Tell my story. Give glory to God."

Just thought you would like to know the twins were born last week and they are healthy. Now the prayer is for healing, but also that Dana will get to hold her twins.

Hers is a story of faith. Give God the glory.
