Tabitha Smith, three years old, was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia February 5, 2002 at Baptist Hospital. She completed 50% of her chemotherapy treatments Easter weekend and continues to win her fight. She has been blessed with a special ability to charm all those who she encounters, as well as John with Godstock. Her friends at Baptist Hospital( others with cancer) have grown to love her as we all do and she is truly an inspiration. She can brighten your darkest days and lighten the heaviest of hearts. Each day is another day that she conquers her enemy (cancer).

The community we live in, China Grove/Salisbury, is right there with her fighting her battle. There are 100's of church's praying for Tabitha and God is answering all the request to keep her in remission. We trust God and have placed Tabitha in his hands for him to heal and protect her. We have never questioned God as to "why her", we only thank him for blessing us with such a special child and ask that he continue to allow her to touch as many lives as possible. God will take care of our Tabitha regardless of where she may be, either here with us or in HEAVEN with him. We are content with our FAITH and will live each day as if tomorrow we will be with GOD, and what a GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE!

We have a special request to all of those who read this, please trust in GOD, for he will carry all of your burdens if you only ask him. Remember that each trial and tribulation prepares you for what lies ahead. GOD loves all of his children.
