I received the most wonderful e-mail today!  I was prayed for in India both in a Hindu temple and a Christian Cathedral.  Our dear friend Larry who I have known since I was a little girl was in India for business and he took time to climb up to a Hindu temple and ask for the demon in me to leave.  After he was done, he walked out of the temple and was greeted by a cow which is a good sign (he was told).  Then he found the only Christian church and prayed for my healing.  I am so blessed to have so many people who think of all kinds of ways to get God's attention and ask for my healing.  God is listening and I am being given the most blessed gift: LIFE.  I am also being shown how strong I am and how much love can conquer.

There are so many prayers coming from everywhere!  I have a HUGE family from all sides who are praying for my healing.  Keith's aunt has helped get hundreds of people to pray for me.  There are so many churches out there that have me on their concerns list.  We have so many friends who keep us in their prayers and thoughts as they travel on this journey with us.

As I prepare for #9 I am finding that my body has been showing signs that I am losing strength.  I worked extremely hard this week at work and know that I am pretty much exhausted.  Although I have so much to be proud of since I was able to get everything I needed to get done completed.  I am still in awe of how each day when it comes time to teach my 2nd grade class I find so much energy and have enjoyed each and every day I have been strong enough to what I love!  Today I was talking with the class about how I would not see them until Wednesday and we talked about how I was going to my 9th chemo treatment out of 10 then of course this math teacher had to make it a lesson.  We talked about how that would be 90% done and only 10% left to go.  We talked about 9/10 done.  They are some of my best cheerleaders and we all had a small celebration together as we realized how much we had gotten through since my diagnosis.

The twins and Katelynn are doing well and are also excited that this journey is nearing the end!  At times they each are sick of what it does to their lives when we cannot do things or have to have others do so much for them.  There have been disappointments for each of them but I pray that in the end each of them remembers how strong we were as a family to get through and how important the people who helped us are to us!

Thank you for all your support and prayers!
