Tammy Faye Gains Some Weight

If you hadn’t heard already, Tammy Faye Messner is suffering from stage 4 lung cancer. She has been very ill for quite a while, but in true Tammy Faye style, she still has a very positive outlook on life.

From her website:

It has been such a long time since I’ve written and I am so sorry for the long delay. I have been in bed for almost a year now. I have times when I feel good and times when I feel really bad. But, I have learned one thing about feelings. They have NOTHING TO DO WITH FAITH IN GOD!! He is the SAME yesterday, today and forever. He NEVER changes. That is what the Bible says and God’s word does not lie EVER!

There have been many days when I felt so terrible with my back and stomach, that I have hardly been able to breath. I cry out to the Lord knowing that many of you are praying for me. In spite of it all, I get dressed and go out to eat. I may only be able to eat one bite, or sometimes ten bites, but I swallow each bite in “faith believing”. There are MANY times it doesn’t stay with me long at all, but I keep trying and HE helps me.

I try really hard to eat and keep the food down, but sometimes, it is like my throat would just shut down on me, and the food comes right back up. So through all the prayers, I have finally gained some weight. I have gone from 60 pounds, to 65, for which I am very thankful.

In closing, I want you to know that I am praying for you and your loved ones and I am believing God for complete healing. God is a healer of EVERYTHING!

I don’t know what it is, but I have always liked Tammy Faye, and I wish nothing but the best for her.

On a sidenote, while browsing her site today I found out that she will be on CNN’s Larry King Live this Thursday, July 19th at 9:00pm. My guess is that she will phone in. I can’t see her trying to make a live appearance weighing only 65 pounds.
