Christy, Mom and Blogger
I live in a small town in Indiana with my husband and three of our now four children. I started this blog in 2008 when my oldest daughter Danni was diagnosed with brain cancer. I am a full time mom and full time township trustee. I love to study the word of God, garden and be with my family and friends. There is nothing special about me other than I am filled with a remarkable God and I give him all credit and glory for everything in my life. I hope this blog is a blessing and encouragement to all who read it. God Bless.
Silly Danni :}
She was so much fun!

The pics on the wall were a gift from a mom who has walked the path we are walking. They are prints from cross stitch patterns her daughter completed when she had the same cancer as Danni. The top one is a house with the word "welcome" and the bottom is from 2 Cor. 12:9.

Hi cutie! I miss you at work and I can't wait to work with you this summer, I know we'll have a fun time like always. When you get your appetite back call me and I'll bring you any one of your crazy food creations you always came up with at Tiffanys. Keep your head up and when it gets too tough remember, you are not alone, our Sweet Jesus is holding your hand. Big Hugs, Erin
Hey Danni. I just got home from work and I want you to know I've kept my word and already prayed for you, and I will continue to do so! My life has been blessed by getting to meet you and your mom, and reading your blog and seeing the faith that you have in God. I wish I would have known that you were Christians too, I would have prayed right there with you at the bedside! I will continue to pray that God will have a miracle take place and that you will be healed! (Believe me it happens!) What a testimony your life is to others. You are probably touching more lives than you know, bringing people to Christ and strengthening their faith. I hope the rest of your hospital stay goes well. I will pray that your spirit is lifted during this difficult time. Your sister in Christ, Stephanie-RN

Christy and Danni, and the rest of the family---
I just need you to know..that today, while I was in bath and body getting some of the things I brought you...One of the workers came up and helped me. she asked what I was looking for and I said I needed a present for someone in the hospital. She goes, oh, I have just the thing. My boss's husband had a brain tumor, and I just kept sending him spray so that he didn't smell like hospital. Sounds funny, I know...BUT, she goes, miracles happen though, his cancer is gone.! Crazy how she said that, not knowing what you were going through. Coincedence? No. it was God. I think God just wants to give us a little blessing everyday. He's probably smiling right now. I love all of you, and praying constantly. Your peace and faith has kept so many of us going. Incredible how God works!
Love, Whit
Hi there, Danni, girl. You're in my prayers. Wishing you joy.

You don't know me, Danni, but I gradutated with your mom from Westview. I first heard about your diagnosis last week and I added you to our prayer chain at my church last Sunday. Prayer is a powerful thing. I am amazed by the website and I'm sure you and your family feel truly blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers and wish you a full recovery.

I want you to know you have really touched my life, your strong courage has made me really happy and wish i could be just as strong as you. keep up the great work! god really loves you and you are one to show the world that miracles really do happen. Your moms comment really made me cry, she is soo strong and loves you soo much and i hope that i can be an awesome mom like that! well i will still pray for a fast healthy recovery! *Amber & Madisyn*
Some people say God is not in the business of doing miracles anymore. Well let me tell you we have all witnessed an amazing miracle and her name is Danni Frain. I saw God's presence over you every time I prayed for you and he has shown us all that he was truly with you and the doctors the whole time. I am soooo excited about your future girl. Just remember that the teenage attitude and wand will eventually get old as you get better, but use them both to your advantage as long as you can!!!!! LOL
And the second miracle for sure is that Christy Minnick was speechless. I have never ever seen that one before.
God is awesome and so are you little lady. He has big big plans for you, so hold on it's gonna be an amazing ride. Love ya'll. Marianne Miller
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Someone give me an Amen. God is so GOOD!!! Christy & Matt rest in God tonight may the peace of the Lord be with you. What an awesome God we serve. Danni you most have some big guarden angles keeping watch over you... Love danniG

Take care of yourself girl and I'm praying for you. Mandy keeps me updated about you too. She's been really worried about you. Can't wait to see you again when you're feeling all better, and we'll all hang out again!

Danni,
I have been praying for you and your family since I have heard about you. You do not know me, but I am really learning a lot about you through your mother's story and what everyone has written also. You really are an AMAZING girl with all you have been through in such a very short time. You have really touched so many lives, we will never know. But remember through all of this God has a purpose.
Don't give up kid!
Hi Danni!! I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I have met your mom and dad YEARS ago!! My ex-husband, Doug Graft, used to work with your Dad at Redman Homes. He used to call your dad "Beans". Doug had heard about your situation and he told me of this website so I could read about you. I have said a lot of prayers for you. You must be a strong girl with an amazing fight! I am so thankful that everything has gone well for you and will continue to pray for a full, fast recovery. You are my new hero!!!!! Please tell your mom and dad Hi for me. Hopefully they remember me. Keep up the good work!! You are truly an inspiration
to everyone!

Hey Danni and your family. I also run to the computer when I get up and before I go to bed just to see how you are doing also. Everyone is correct you are a hero you should be so proud of yourself. I dont even know as an adult if I could of been so strong. I have yet to meet you but I know Lance and my son knows you and is friends with Lance. I also ask him for any updates. Its hard not repeating myself of how amazing you are looking forward to meeting you too. Ha ha I know you out do superman and all the super heroes.And to your mom I have not been going to church like I should and fell behind in where I should be with God. Thank you very much just reading how your faith is has made me realize where i need to be in life and with God and I am going to find me a good church and start going back how should be. Thank you very much and I am still praying for you Miss Danni and your friends and family. Keep your head up your going to be fine Stay strong girl.

The staff at Trowbridge Accounting have been praying for a speedy recovery for Danni. So glad to learn she is doing so well.
This is for you Christy:
Our GOD is an amazing, awesome GOD and he can do all things. He can give us strength when strength does not exist, he can give us guidance when we don't know which way to turn, he can give us love when we feel so all alone, and he he gives family and friends when we can't do it alone. What I am saying is, Barb and I are here to help in anyway we can. We are rich in the love of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and everything we have has come from HIM. The way we serve him is to give back to HIM by serving others. You, Matt, Danni, Jessi, and Atlee are our family, in our hearts and in our LORD. So reach out and let us love you all in any way we can, when ever we can.
We Love you! Jeff and Barb, grandpa and grandma Ervin

Psalms 34:1-5
I will extol the Lord at all times;
His praise will always be
on my lips.
My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt His Name together.
I sought the Lord & He answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant;
their faces are
never covered with shame.
Psalm 42:5,8,11
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
By day the Lord directs His love
at night His song is with me --
a prayer to the God of my life.
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
YOU HAVE BEEN SO FAITHFUL IN GIVING GOD GLORY THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU USING SCRIPTURES LIKE THOSE ABOVE. AND I CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT GOD WILL DRAW OTHERS TO HIM THROUGH YOUR MESSAGE OF GOD'S GOODNESS. TRUSTING HIM FOR HIS PERFECT PROVISION IN ALL THINGS.
Blessings to you, karen u.
