Gmabama.

Its been a really hard week around here. The word I would describe it as would be heart breaking. There were points when I found myself sitting on my couch staring off in space, just hurting, and so sad that I felt like I couldn't focus. My soul has literally ached.

5 Years ago my Grams had Ovarian Cancer. Stage 4. She beat it, which didn't surprise anyone that she knew, given her tenacious personality. They say with Ovarian cancer if it's going to return it will do it within two years, and will show up somewhere else. Two years came and went and she was still clear. She had her CA 125 Levels checked every 3 months, and the same with her Oncologist Visits.

Last week she traveled to Iowa, (where her new oncologist is) and went in for what was supposed to be her last visit. After 5 years cancer free she was being discharged.

However when they ran her CA 125 levels we couldn't deny that what we had feared was now a reality. The cancer is back. And has spread to her pelvis and to her colon.

She says she knew something was wrong, as she hadn't been feeling right, but she never told anyone, so I for one was beyond shocked.

The cancer came back sometime after her levels were ran in November.

Right now we are in a waiting pattern for her Surgery on the 22'nd. She is first on the cancellation call list if someone cancels their surgery, hopefully she will get in earlier. 

We're looking at surgery and chemo. The surgeon of course will not know the extent of the cancer until he gets in there and can get a better look of what's going on.

I'm still in shock. And catch myself wanting to cry at random moments. I know that God has a plan, and she, and us, are in his hands. But it's been a hard week. And I hate to see her go through what she did before. God is faithful, even in the hard times, and even if the healing doesn't come. That song has been playing on repeat in my head this week. No matter what happens he is in control and he loves us. I am so thankful for my savior who loves me and knows me. I'm thankful that through this hurt and sadness I have him to turn to. He will carry us.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths.

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
