The Power of Prayer is Beyond our Understanding… a Miracle Force of Divinity

Dear Reader:

When I woke up Tuesday morning… I had a moment of confusion…what day was it? Oh yes… the circled Big Day… the results of my eligibility for the potentially life extension drug for my metastatic breast cancer.

Why was I so out of it? I remembered falling asleep with out eating supper… just felt so tired. I scrambled to get ready but when we got there the waiting room was packed and it took almost an hour to get called back.

I was so thankful Mandy had returned with me for the results because it would have been a long nervous wait alone.

But when we got in Dr Jeter was all smiles… I had the mutant receptor for this new medicine. Happiness is!

And I am more popular with my grandchildren… they heard ” mutant” and are telling friends ” Boo” is a ” Ninja Mutant Turtle!”

While Dr Jeter, Mandy and I were talking you wonderful friends were texting prayers… Dr Jeter was smiling ” Are those your ” Ya Ya’s?

” Some, I answered but others were Summerville family, friends and you wonderful post readers. The texts were beeping in. I have no doubt all my prayer friends made the new drug eligibility possible.

So until tomorrow…

Today is my favorite day- Winnie the Pooh

Mandy and I stopped by Lassie’s on the way home and dropped off her September Fall birthday Mum… Lassie and I love ” Mum” birthdays!!!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”
