Oh the responses I have received from some of you has been almost overwhelming and I cannot thank you enough for following my journey! This journey has been one I could never have imagined!! It is Heaven sent and I am feeling more blessed each day! I just hope and pray that each one of you can join in with me and remember to live each day to the fullest and always remember to SMILE!!!
Change used to scare me!! I would do almost anything not to deal with changes but now I know it is a good thing!! I may not understand why things have to change but the answer will come in time. That is how I am getting through the waiting for knowing what position I will hold at school. It would have been eating me up a few years ago if I were in this situation because I would worry all the time! Today I know that the answer will come in the near future and there is nothing I can do to make it happen any faster... so I will not waste any precious energy worrying about it now. WOW!! That is so amazing even to me!! I really cannot believe this worry wart could be so changed by cancer!
It was such a freeing experience to share my story in response to a discussion about the book of Ephesians in Sunday school. For so many months I have shared my story with people who loved me long before cancer. This time I was able to choose to share my story with a group who has only known me for a month but who have opened up their arms and hearts to us from the first visits. This community is an answer to my prayers and it came at the perfect time for this family! We have all found a stronger relationship with God and we needed to spread our wings and grow. Each one of us is getting all we need and I am so thankful that Keith has been able to make such a good connection with Pastor Steve! This is one more answer to a prayer because it has been so hard to be in a different place than he was on this spiritual journey. The hardest thing is that I am thankful to God for this journey and Keith is still struggling with the "Whys" of it all -- why did this happen to good people? why us? why now?... If you have ever read the book of Ephesians it is Paul's letter to tell those in Ephesus how to live a Christian life. It is a powerful letter that really speaks to me in how to proceed with life to be able to live life to the fullest! I am seeing this study may be the way Keith and I get back to the same place on this journey. I look forward to seeing what is around the next corner!
The girls are all keeping life normal: taxi mom, fights, screaming matches, bossiness, complaining... and it is only Monday! Sarah did lose her 2nd tooth last week and she had us all in stitches! She wrote a note to the fairy and asked to keep her tooth, and then she asked this question: "What size are you? Tiny, Small, Medium, Big or Large?" The fairy circled Medium so then she and Keith discussed whether that was medium size for us or medium size for fairies.... I am sure the next note will be much longer with even more questions! Look out tooth fairy!!!
Life is a joy because all of you are in it with me!
