CAMILA...A SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY TYPE OF GIRL

SOMETIMES WE HAVE GOT TO STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES. SMILE FOR A WHILE AND SAY THANKS TO OUR GOD FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND THINGS IN OUR LIVES. SOMETIMES WE HAVE GOT TO JUST STOP AND LOOK AROUND US. THERE ARE MIRACLES HAPPENING AND SOME JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN FOR US AND FOR THOSE WE KNOW AND LOVE.

CAMILA IS ONE OF THOSE LITTLE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO COMES OUT WITH A MESSAGE WITHOUT SAYING A WORD! A SHORT TIME AGO, AFTER BEING ILL FOR SOME TIME, DOCTORS FOUND OUT CAMILA HAD LEUKEMIA. SHE BEGAN CHEMO THERAPY AND THROUGH IT ALL SHE WAS SMILING AND WITH ALL THE LOVE AND PRAYERS SHE RECEIVED SHE WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE CHEMO BRAVELY. THIS WEEK DOCTORS FOUND THAT THE TREATMENT HAS WORKED AND THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOW STOPPED THE LEUKEMIA. SHE WILL STILL BE ON TREATMENT OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS JUST TO MAKE SURE SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY HIDDEN CELLS THAT CAN START IT UP AGAIN BUT SHE MOVES ON WITH HER LIFE TO CONTINUE TO SMILE, AND LAUGH AND PLAY WITH HER BROTHER AND HER MOM AND DAD AND HER AUNTS AND COUSINS AND ALL THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO SURROUND HER. PRAYER HAS PROVEN TO BE POWERFUL. GOD HAS PROVEN TO BE LOVING AND KIND. TO HIM WE OWE THE VICTORY AND THE CHANCE TO CONTINUE LIVING. KEEP CAMILA'S STORY IN MIND AND KEEP YOUR HEARTS OPEN TO GOD. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!
