Dear Schapelle,

I want you to know that there is not a day that goes by that you and your family are not thought of.

I want you to know that God knows the truth, and that you are not alone. That you have many brothers and sisters in Christ praying for you.

As a mother I can only begin to understand some of what your mother and family must be going through. And I pray that your family comes to know and rely on the saving grace of Christ..

But it is you that I wish to specifically encourage. You have an amazing courage and strength, and that you arn't going to let the truth be sacrificed. The fact that you in your circumstance are able to concern yourself with the well being gives testimony to your character. You are a precious woman.

So for just today I will leave you with these two scriptures and pray that you will find daily comfort and strength now and when you are freed.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. James 3:17

And I want you to remember that....

The Lord is faithful and He will strengthen and protect you. 2 Thesalonians 3:3

regards and faithful prayer

Your sister in Christ....

possum

... and a scripture from the aussie "bible" of ockerism

when ya get out Schapelle, whether it be in 2 hours or 20 years, there will be a coldie in the fridge for ya

Sorry... aussie humour

Seriously -
... for sure... as a mother and grandmother myself - to see your babies suffer and not be able to do anything for them is the worst thing a mum can go through. It gives us a sense of failure because we can't protect and care for our babies or feel we didn't do enough to prevent them from their troubles.

To Schapelle's mum, Rosleigh, as a mum I hold your hand in spirit... you are a great mum and your love for your family and strength shines through above all the crap the media is dragging up.

You are women and I hear you roar.
