I was browsing the Desiring God website yesterday and discovered a recent message delivered to 600 women by Rachel Barkey. Rachel is a 37 year-old wife and mother who is dying of cancer and only has weeks to live. I would have to agree with Desiring God that this message was probably one of the most beautiful, God-honoring, inspiring and convicting things I’ve ever listened to. I know that you will find the time you spend listening or watching (you can choose between audio and video) well worth your time. I listened to it while doing my morning chores. Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy!
You can access the message here on her website:

I pray that this message of truth would take root in the hearts of many for His glory.
This is a very touching talk- Lauren thanks for sharing. It helps put a heavenly perspective on life.
Love ya sis

Yeah, it totally does! Rachel is such an incredible example of what it means to die well because of the gospel. As a result she is such an encouragement to everyone around her to live well because of the gospel. The good news of Jesus is the ONLY thing that makes a difference… in life or in death. Praise God for saints like Rachel who walk in humble obedience even in the face of death!
