Dear John and Dear Doves,
 
I am requesting prayer for a very dear  friend of mine.  She posts on Doves so you, that read Edwina's letters, know that she is so very special.  I may not get everything written exactly correct; in fact I am sure I won't  but I am going to  try to cover a bit of what is going on with her.
 
Edwina has told how she is facing a battle with Cancer.  In fact, this past week, she found out that she is now in stage 4, the last stage of her Bone Cancer.  She had Breast Cancer, surgery in the recent past and then faced the sickening aspects of Chemo.  Meanwhile, she had booked a reservation to go to Israel but then came down with Avian Flu but she would not let that stop her.  Through her weakened, sick condition, she made the trip.  One of her favorite places was where King David's Tomb is located.  You see, Edwina plays a Harp, like Rowina who lives in New Mexico, does also.  But it is her journey in finding the Lord Yeshua that was full of tales.  Edwina, has had a full life in her search for a closer relationship with God.  She became a nun in the Catholic Church.  She left the convent and moved into her own quarters.  Her giant harp got moved into the local church, where she decorated it on special Feast days.  Never one to just sit back and accept things done....even though carried out by the local priest.....she once took a chain saw after a cross that an Irish priest put up that was pure blasphemy in her eyes.
 
Edwina was told in an audible voice, "I Am Coming Soon".  That stirred her so much, she printed out letters to Bishops all over the UK wanting to know why the message of the soon return of Yeshua HaMashiach was not being preached in the churches.  Only one priest even responded to her letter.
 
As I said, Edwina is now in the last stage of this cancer in her Chest Bones and Hip and the pain is over-whelming  for her YET she doesn't slow down, putting in whatever strength the Holy Spirit gives to her.  She told, in one of her letters, how much she appreciated the information about Nirubu appearing closer and closer that had been written on Doves.  She printed and printed and printed some more copies to hand out.  Her natural sisters, upon hearing of her failing health came to visit her this past week-end.  Edwina believed that they had agreed to spend time passing out fliers with her this past Saturday.  However, when they came, they told her that they had a bit of trouble with doing that.   They read the flier and told her that they had trouble with the word "Repent", a bit old fashion in their eyes, they informed her.  I believe that they agreed to take her to the streets as a favor but they did not help her pass them out.  They stood at the other end of the street as she, in her weakened condition did as much as she was able, finally having to go to the car where she broke down: she cried and cried from the disappointment of it all.  They, then, eventually  returned to their homes.  But that isn't all.
 
She has a little doggie, Daisy, whom she has had for 12 years, her constant companion.  Here are Edwina's own words regarding her little pet.  Daisy has not been well for some time, fatty lumps and this growth on her spinal cord...making her lose control of her back legs? And walking on her front of the foot...which kept her going backwards as it got worse. Then her breathing had gone strange and stuff, anyway, this morning she began stoking? So I knew she was leaving us. So I stayed with her and as she tried to cope I called the vet emergency AND he gave her an anesthetic to help her go instead of suffering..so as I held her paws and held her face in my hands she gave her last breath....
 
That still isn't all.  Yesterday, she had the Under-taker come to the house to make all the arrangements for her casket, including Lillies from her own garden to be placed on it.  Despite all of Edwina's pain, she took care of all the various details,  having to sell her car to pay for it all so she hopes it will sell quickly.  Because of her weakened condition and inability to even go out in her wheelchair to hand out fliers, she has hired a woman to go door to door and deliver the 1,000 remaining  Imminent Rapture.  The Under-taker did not leave her home empty handed.  He was given a copy of that rapture that is almost here plus her own words of the Eternal Hope that is in us that repent and believe upon the Lord Yeshua haMashiach.
 
Edwina is a woman that just doesn't talk the talk but walks the walk and I consider it a humbling privilege to have meet Edwina.  She, like all of us, is praying for the Rapture to happen before she gets called home the other way.  Her life has not been easy but through it all, she has grown spiritually stronger in her race to the finish line.
 
Please pray for Edwina.   Ahhhhhh!  If you knew Edwina like I know Edwina.....what a gal.
