Dear Friends and Family,
Hope all is going well for all of you in this wonderful Fall season! I've always enjoyed this time of year and this year is no different!
Boy did I ever have a busy weekend that just doesn't see to end. I have had so many visitors it has been one big love fest! I have enjoyed every ounce of it. Yes, I was tired, overwhelmed, exhausted but, it was so nice. I had visits from old Gospel Light friends, My very first friend ever,Donna (the dead duck-I was Peggy Piglet) and her daughter Madi, Ann flew in from IL, Jodi flew in from IL, Jamie drove down from Selma, Saw Molly, and Chrisie and her folks. Yesterday and today I had visitors from the neighborhood I grew up in. It's been great! It's been fun sharing the peace I have with where God has me right now! Remembering fun times past is so priceless too! We laughed so much!
After having such a serious talk with the Doctors about how basically they really don't have much more to offer me to help, I'm sure people are all not sure what disposition I will be when the get here. But when friends leave we are all smiles! It is really incredible where God has me. It's hard to put into words exactly but I will try.
Like any journey God takes you on it's all individual and very personal between you and God. He knows what He needs to allow you to go through to get you where He needs you to be. Often for things you have been actually been praying for. We want to be closer to Him. We want to have strong faith. We want to honor Him in all our ways. etc... For me, the day I was diagnoised I was unable to mentally or otherwise be where I am today. I feel such a weight lifted from me. I feel unspeakable peace. I have a confidence in God like no other time in my life. I know He has been so present in every step of this journey. And as the saying goes...I know He carried Larry and I through many of those moments.
Now if symptoms arise they will most likely offer me something to help it. (i.e. pain killers). Since I am not going to be treated anymore they will not be scanning me to see what the problem is. So I will be going to you friends and family who have been the awesome army of God on my behalf to fight any sympton that might arise. Already I have had two more sore spots on the left side of my head show up. Larry had Kim B's band of warriors pray. One day one was gone today the other is gone. Wow-that was faster than radiation!! I really felt like God said this to me the other day. "Maintain Steadfast Faith!" "I am able" "I am willing" "hold on-the ride will continue" "you can do it" "you are able". OK Lord!!:)
I have this excitement inside me at what He is doing, going to do and going to do so so so much more beyond me and this cancer. I feel like a tiny little piece of something really great. I feel so honored to be here. There is really no point in giving up in any way when we have all fought this so hard for so long. The battle is in no way over. It's all God! Jamie said it on her visit! "When God is all you have, you realize He is all you need"!!! I've quoted it over and over since then. Thank you all for standing with us in this battle for healing! God is able and God is willing!! And I want it!!
I will try to update best I can. I will be as honest as I can. I want you to know how to pray us all through the journey. The family is doing remarkable. We are all adjusting and sorting out new duties. But, everyone is rallying together.
Also I went to Church last Sunday. It was just so great to be with my Church family that I love so much. If anyone knows me, they know I am a people person. It so filled up my cup to just be there. I hardly talked to everyone I wanted to. But got to see and smile at so many people I love so much!!
I love you all more than I can express!! Thank-you entirely from the whole Wolf family!!!

Peggy, I'm overwhelmed and blown away. You do such a good job of expressing how you're feeling and your hopes, dreams, fears, and what encourages you. I can only scratch the surface of understanding what you, Larry and the kids are going through each day.
So glad Ann got to be there as well as many others this weekend. Sounds like a full house.
We'll keep praying. You keep hoping!
Hello, my friend.
Thank you for encouraging me today! You're growth in Jesus is so evident...if just from the Holy Spirit glow that radiates from you.
I am updating the band of warriors. We are with you!
Love you,
Kim B.
You are an inspiration! I am so happy that HE is filling you and being your strength! We are continuing to lift you up and pray for complete healing! The song I can't get out of my head this week has been " God is bigger than the boogie man" and then quickly the words " and way bigger than this diseeeeease!". That's all that's filling this brain!! Love you guys!! Wish I could drive over to visit you!
Dearest Peggy, I got a note from the Youth For Christ blog on facebook and had to check in. I feel like you and your family are like Joshua with his small, fit and faith-filled army, too little to take any of God's glory, but willing and able to step out in faith! God will be glorified, it is evident! God bless you and keep you.
Whoops I misquoted in my previous posting it was Gideon, not Joshua, see Judges 7 passage: "Early in the morning, Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) and all his men camped at the spring of Harod. The camp of Midian was north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh. 2 The LORD said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her, 3 announce now to the people, 'Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.' " So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained.
4 But the LORD said to Gideon, "There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will sift them for you there. If I say, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go; but if I say, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go."
5 So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, "Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel down to drink." 6 Three hundred men lapped with their hands to their mouths. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.
7 The LORD said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the other men go, each to his own place." 8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred, who took over the provisions and trumpets of the others.
Now the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley. 9 During that night the LORD said to Gideon, "Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it into your hands. 10 If you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah 11 and listen to what they are saying. Afterward, you will be encouraged to attack the camp." So he and Purah his servant went down to the outposts of the camp. 12 The Midianites, the Amalekites and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore.
13 Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. "I had a dream," he was saying. "A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed."
14 His friend responded, "This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands."
15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped God. He returned to the camp of Israel and called out, "Get up! The LORD has given the Midianite camp into your hands." 16 Dividing the three hundred men into three companies, he placed trumpets and empty jars in the hands of all of them, with torches inside.
17 "Watch me," he told them. "Follow my lead. When I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly as I do. 18 When I and all who are with me blow our trumpets, then from all around the camp blow yours and shout, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.' "
19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands. 20 The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!" 21 While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled.
22 When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords. The army fled to Beth Shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
