Rylie, you truly amaze me. Your faith is strong even if your body is not and God will carry you through this journey. He will never leave your side. Stay strong. The Harpers are praying every day for you.

Rylie, I'm not sure if you remember me but I graduated from RRHS two years ago and I just wanted you to know that there are so many girls here at A&M who are praying over you and sending you love and strength! You are so strong and beautiful and the work the Lord is doing through you is immense. We love you !

Oh Rylie...I believe there is profound wisdom here that many never grasp. And here you are, sharing it as you allow us the honor of knowing your heart in this incredible battle. I think many of us haven't been able to help asking "why Rylie?", it sounds like before you even did. But praise the Lord that all of this is temporary, as you beautifully reminded us. Thank you for being an encourager always. We love you and are supporting you fully. ❤

Rylie what a beautiful woman and faithful servant of God. Before this journey I heard of your wonderful heart and saw how you lit up my granddaughter's eyes. You were my granddaughter's big sis at swimming and she was in awe of you. What a beautiful role model. Your faith shows through your face and words. I pray healing peace and blessings to you and your family! You are an Inspiration!

My mother used to tell me that God would not give us more than we can handle. In my adult life, I have come to believe that she was mistaken. But when He gives us more than we can handle, thankfully, we can turn it over to Him and He is there to carry us through! You are a great example of allowing our God to carry you through the storm, Rylie. The Wrights, along with this entire community are also standing with you and praying you through! Stay strong, kiddo! Obviously God thinks you’re a bad@$$!

Rylie, in the most difficult time of my life I too had trouble turning to God. When I was in the depth of anger, pain and despair I was told "He can take it." God can take your anger, your doubt, your questioning. Even when you can't bring yourself to pray He is with you. He is always ready to meet you where you are. Rylie you are extraordinary. You are a warrior. Your fight has begun and you can do this.

No truer or more meaningful words written - today is a new day. I’m in awe of your strength. And know that the strength of those who surround you will be there to help you when you need it. Prayers always coming from the Peaces.

Rylie - Thank you for honestly sharing your struggles. I can only imagine what you are going through, but I just want to say all of your feelings are ok. You have so many people including Grace and I who are standing in the gap for you when you don't have the words. That is what the body of Christ is for. We will lift you up when you can't do it yourself. Sometimes when I've gone through troubles, all you can do is say the name of Jesus but even if all you can say is that one name, it is so powerful. He will hear you cry His name and He will intercede for you! Stay strong Rylie! We are praying for you each and everyday!!

Hey Rylie! Your Aunt, Ann Chenault shared your story with me this morning. I am truly blessed and moved by your journey... You have got this! The Lord gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Keeping you, your family and friends in my thoughts and prayers! You are such an inspiration. Your undoubting faith in the Lord fills my heart! You are a warrior! Hang in there.

Rylie, I have only met you through this blog. It’s not fair that you, a sick young lady, have given a healthy older man (me) strength. But you have! Thank you for sharing your strength. I will pray for you.

I know you are going to have highs and lows on this journey. The lows might be messy and not easy to put into words. I expect, those messy moments you share are going to be the ones that inspire, teach, and impact this community who loves you the most. Thank you for sharing sweet girl! You are amazing and brave.

You are so brave and honest to share your journey with us. You are absolutely right - this pain is temporary and God's promises are true even in our darkest moments. Praying for you, sweet girl, and thankful for a new day.

At our church, the children sing "be still and know that I am God" to prepare their bodies and minds to worship. In the busyness of our daily lives, it is often hard to stop and feel God's love and presence. The journey you are on is filled with busyness. When you are feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breathe, and lean in to God's love and embrace. Be still and know that He is God. You got this, Rylie! #siccancer

Rylie, your faith is incredible. I don't know if we will ever understand why God allows us to endure such pain at times. I do know that He is always right in the middle of the pain and suffering with us and like scripture tells us He knows the number of every tear you shed. I also know He has the power to totally heal you and I am bodily thanking him in advance for that. In the meantime, you will never know what sharing your journey is doing to advance the kingdom of God, bring glory to God and change people lives. You don't have to be strong all the time either, that's what us prayer warriors are for and the Holy Spirit that lives inside of you. There are 100's probably 1000's of people praying for you who you don't know personally or at all, me being one of them. Hang in there and like you said, this is temporary and each day is a new day. Much love to you and your family!

Rylie, I do not know you personally, but your remind me of the Psalmist, King David. He was forced into hiding by King Saul due to no fault of his own. He cried out to God, “Why me?”, also. However, God calls David “a man after My own heart.” I learned from David’s Psalms that it’s ok to ask “Why Me” to God. He desires nothing more than an intimate relationship with each of us where we love and adore Him and He gently loves and guides us. Thank you for the gentle reminder of God’s love. I pray that your body lines up with God’s will, Rylie. And I know that Luke 9:1 tells us we have the power to heal through Christ in us. Stay strong, Rylie!

Hey, I know you may not remember me from camp, but we were on tribal camp together. I just wanted to let you know that my whole fmaily is praying for you. Let me know if you’d ever like a visitor, cause I’m not that far from you. Stay strong, you got this!!

You are being filled with His grace... only His grace can give you the strength that you have! It's okay to ask questions... God can handle it. Ask those questions of Him... but you are right, He has a plan and His plan is great and always good. Continue to seek Him always. Offer your suffering up to Him... pray for others through your suffering. You are precious. Always know that!!! Blessings to you and your family.

Hey Rylie! You probably don’t remember me but, we met once and from the small talk that we had I can tell you’re going to be strong throughout this whole journey! My family and I are keeping you in our prayers. Thank You for your updates because I know exactly what to pray for in the future. Love You and stay strong!!❤️❤️

Sweet Rylie, may you feel all the hugs and thoughts from the community you have built. So many of us are with you in this fight which is certainly a compliment to you and who you are. This community is here for you because of what a special person you are. Keep doing you.

Praying, and please remember that it's okay to kick something now and again - God loves us like the children we are, and He understands. If Jesus, fully God and fully man, could kneel in the garden and ask "does this REALLY have to be the plan??" then how can we expect not to do the same? Praise God for loving us, just as we are, at any given moment.

Rylie- thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are dearly loved and treasured! Your faith is inspirational and we are praying for you without ceasing! When you are too weary to pray, please know that we are praying for you. God hears our prayers and has you in His mighty hand. Psalm 91:14-16

Sweet Rylie, All your emotions and doubt are normal. You are human. It's hard to stay focused- I understand. You are correct .... This is temporary. Keep your focus on Him and hold on tight. You are a brave young lady! Praying for you!

Rylie, what beautiful words!! I’m so inspired by your strong faith and wise, godly perspective. Praying the Lord lifts you up and continues to give you His inexplicable joy. Praying you’ll feel well, and for God’s mighty healing touch. 2/7/2018 07:21:36 pm
There are many times I stop during my day and say a quick little prayer for you. You are a precious young lady. I love your determination and kick a$$ attitude. I’m sorry you are having to deal with this but you have an entire community praying and cheering you on. Love you sweet girl!!!

Such honest words coming from a girl who is working out her faith in the midst of crisis. All I know, Rylie, is that God is faithful to meet you in all those spots. And keeping your eyes on eternity is ALWAYS a good plan! Praying for comfort in those moments of despair that come...those dark places...the doubting places...the too sick to think places...the why me places. You’re not alone in those. Hugs to you, sweet girl. Asking God for complete healing AND a new, deep, abiding revelation of Him.

Rylie, I never had the privilege to teach you , but I wish I had. You don't know this, but when I lost my son, I never could quite grasp how other people who followed our story were impacted. Sometimes I wondered if they were just sorry for us or if they felt the deep ache that we felt. I sometimes heard of how our story helped others grow or change for the better, but at the time, I didn't really understand the depth of what God was doing through our journey and the relationships with people.

Hi, Rylie! I haven’t seen you in person since you were very small. Your dad and my husband did residency at the same time at Scott & White and we all went to the same church. But I’ve watched you grow up through Christmas cards, and I just want you to know that my whole family is praying for you!!! Prayers are coming from Missouri, from my freshman daughter at Baylor, and my Med School daughter in Houston at Baylor College of Medicine (who said to tell you your parents picked exactly the hospital where she would want to go if this were happening to her)! We love you, sweet Rylie, our sister in Christ, and your strength is amazing. We pray for you strength, healing, peace in the midst of the pain, and good control through amazing modern medicine over pain and suffering! God bless you, sweet girl!

I'm a friend of Kathleen Elliott. Praying for you in California. Psalm 62:1-2& 63:7-"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken...Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings."

Hi Rylie! I go to Dallas Baptist University and I am from Roanoke, TX. I am good friends with Allee and Noah Nix. Your blog is beautiful and you are amazing!!!

God is going to bless you and many others as you share your journey. Although we don't know each other, I have been praying for you precious child of God. Keep your faith and you will get through this and have the most incredible testimony that will draw non-believers to the Lord.

Rylie, you don't know me. Your mother and my daughter, Meredith Jenkins Leiva, went to school together. This is how I've come to know about you. I want you to know that I am praying for you daily. I don't know what you're experiencing, but God does. I think about Job and all the challenges and pain he experienced, yet God never left him. Your strength and love for The Lord reminds me of Job. Never once did he curse God rather he praised and loved him through it all. The Bible tells us God's words that He will never leave us or forsake us. I believe this with all of my heart. Stay faithful my dear and TRUST in our amazing Lord and Savior. God Bless you. xox

I am Brynn Minter's grandmother, Tamara's mom. Just wanted to share one thing. While I was going through chemo and radiation and all that came with it nausea etc there were times all I could do was say JESUS! Too weak to even pray but JESUS kept me going. Beautiful words, "there is no evidence of disease." Thank You Sweet Jesus. I am holding you up in prayer every single day. Bless you Sweetie and God does not mind you asking why me? Just remember how much HE loves you and HE said HE would never leave you nor forsake you.

Rylie, your words hit us at our core because they are true. I hope to one day meet you and hug you. Please know that my family will keep you in our prayers and this weekend we will pray a Rosary on your behalf. There is no greater love than our Father's love for us. Blessings, Figueroa Family

Your outlook and faith inspire me so much, Rylie. I’m 42 and have a lot to learn from you. Sending you strength and love from California. I have something I want to share, though it may not be helpful to you. I saw a documentary on amazon called The Science of Fasting. The 2nd half focused on an experiment with rats taking chemo. the fasting rats had a better tolerance of the chemo symptoms and the chemo was lots more effective on their tumor reduction. This hasn’t been done on humans yet, and the problem is no drug companies want to sponsor such a study bc no money to be made. Anyway, I just watched this earlier this week and felt compelled to share. The most important thing is what you said, all of this is temporary, even this life on earth. God bless you.

Rylie - your mom and I were Sorority sisters at Baylor and she’s always been someone I admire greatly! You have her beauty inside and out. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. It is such a testimony and Christ shines through you. My family is praying for you - for strength, for peace and for healing. Much love to you
