After she was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer at age ten, Paige’s childhood came to a screeching halt. Despite her grim prognosis, a friend told her something that would change the course of her life, “Never place a period where God has placed a comma.” From that point on, Paige refused to limit God and His ability to use her circumstances for her good and His glory.

and Words,
About 15 years ago a friend was diagnosed with cancer. She had to have surgery and chemo therapy. When making the first chemo appointment, a nurse told me that it will really help to take her to, right after a chemo treatment head for 7-Eleven and buy her a large Coke Slurpee. The cold drink helps fight the fever, the Coke helps the stomach, the sugar gives a little energy. Also, have some Saltine Crackers on have for upset stomach and acid reflex. (Also, you can purchase a bottle of Coke syrup at the pharmacy to add to your Coke if it is not strong enough. They used to be dark brown.)
I wish someone would have known to tell you! I have told many people at the 7-Eleven and when I hear someone has cancer. I buy a Coke Slurpee for people and bring it to their door after their appointment’s.
The nurse if no longer at that center so the word is not getting out to people.

What a painful (when Paige was getting treatment) but encouraging Testimony! Especially liked “Never place a period where God has placed a comma.” as I’ve put a period (Full stop here in UK) but now Move On as it’s Not Permanent! Thank you Paige and Words to Live By!!

Thank you for the encouragement, Malik! Paige’s story was a good reminder for all of us here that God’s not finished with us yet. ~ Barbara
