A Note…

Tracy / February 19, 2013

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–

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-…

February 17, 2013 (before bed)

Tracy / February 17, 2013

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

Tracy / February 16, 2013

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…

Emma, Again

Tracy / February 15, 2013

I blog about Emma a lot lately, don’t I? It’s because she finds the grandest of adventures. These were all pictures taken last Wednesday when she was off visiting with a friend… I’m not sure any of these clothes will ever come clean again, but they certainly had a great time!! 😀 Remind me again…isn’t this supposed to be winter?

Visiting My Grandmother

Tracy / February 14, 2013

My grandmother was moved to a new, much closer nursing home a week ago. This was a huge answer to prayer in many ways. My mom has enjoyed visiting almost every day and we got to take Jackson to meet his great-grandmother for the very first time! I think they both enjoyed the time. I helped her hold him for…

February 13, 2012 Following the advice of her gyn oncologist, we left for surgery.  We were laughing and sharing stories on the way to the hospital.  I missed a turn and we ended up over 30 minutes late for the appointment!  They weren’t terribly happy but it worked out well.  Mom was the first scheduled surgery.  Us being late meant…

Laundry Detergent

Tracy / February 13, 2013

Y’all know I’m a GAIN girl, right? I love the fresh scent…it always smells fresh like spring, even in the dead of winter (though who can tell, this year?). The price is what I just can’t get past. It’s expensive laundering clothes for this family. I’m always on the lookout for a better deal. A while back, I found this…
