Mama has not felt good today. She has slept on an off through the day. When she’s been awake, she’s talked more to me about how she needs to pay her house and car off. She actually seems excited that this might allow her to retire early. We’ve discussed her staying here while she is going through chemo treatments. She…

I’m still here. I’ve received notes from several of you and thought I should write a quick post. A week ago, on Wednesday, my mom had a surgery that should have been routine. Without sharing too much as we await tests, it would seem the initial findings are less than routine. Her surgeon said it the best, “these finds are…

I’m forever amazed how the Lord meets each of our needs. I had pretty much resolved myself to not seeing Paul until some time next week. I’m not going to say I was handling it well, just resolved. I was on the phone with a friend, when I looked up and saw a man in my driveway. Being because I…

Today has been so hard. My mama called her work and talked to them about short term disablity. It seems this process is going to be easy but means a cut in pay. She has told me she’s pretty concerned about making medical payments. I’m not sure how much cancer treatments are, nor how much insurance pays. If it’s anything…
A Note…
Most of you know, we are experiencing some challenges as a family. I’m not sure if we will be having our community fellowship this month- if you haven’t heard from me, please call before you come. We would love to see all of you, but I’m just not sure if it’s going to work this month. Thank you–

We would love to have you! Message me for details.

Mama is feeling well enough to be out today. She asked if I would take her shopping for a while. She is doing great out- I can tell she is more tired than usual but seems to be happy to be out and moving around. The doctor called while we were in the store. He confirmed what he originally thought-…

Mama has been feeling pretty bad all day. She taken some motrin and remains on the percoset the doctor prescribed, but only at bedtime. She asked if I might take her out for a while tomorrow so she can get out of the house. A little later, she said she didn’t know if she would feel like it but it…

2 Corinthians 10:4-5(NIV) “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” I will take my thoughts captive to…

Today has been a good day. It’s odd, really, to see her acting so normal…maybe a little more tired than usual, but still normal. I can tell she’s hurting. She would laugh at the children and grab her tummy. It doesn’t seem to be low where I would expect from the surgery but rather higher- my assumptions here could get…
Please Pray
Sometimes, we walk into situations that just seem so big. In reality, the Lord God has this all figured out. In reality, He knew us before our mothers knew us in the womb. He *already* knows what was, what is, and what will be. I woke up singing this in my head this morning: A friend sent this today: “But…

Mama got up hurting quite a bit this morning. She refused her pain meds until a little earlier this afternoon and now she’s resting in the family room. She told me before we left the hospital that she just wanted to not think about all of this until we knew what exactly we were dealing with. We’ve sat and talked…
