I forgot to post this yesterday so here is it now :) another post-surgery post coming soon... We just arrived at the hospital and are waiting... surgery begins at 10 but I'll be here with pre-surgery things until then. I wanted to share a few pictures and verses that I've been reading since I found out about my diagnosis. Here is our sweet toddler showing us his "muscles" before  we dropped him off with the grandparents yesterday.  I took and shower and put curlers in my hair this morning... makes the most sense since I won't be able to shower for awhile, surely I'm not the only one?!? The higher the hair the closer to God is the saying... I'll take it!   A few of the verses I've been reading and memorizing (I had more pictures but they didn't download)... ever heard of Beth Moore's SSMT? Look it up... click here if you want . I love Beth Moore, she's a pretty amazing lady who loves the Lord so very much.  My best f...

Cancer. Part 5.

Here's the 5th email... sorry for posting them all so quickly, trying to get through them so I can post in real time.  --- Hi friends and family! I just got back from an amazing weekend in Texas with my friend, Malloree. Last year, this same weekend, we went to Vegas for the weekend and this year it was a women's conference ( Sparrow Conference ) at a church in Dallas and it was so wonderful! We had almost two solid days of kid-free girl time and some Jesus worship and teaching, it was much needed!  Surgery. It's  on Tuesday, April 25th in Atlanta . I'll likely be the hospital for one night, maybe two. Surgery is  at 10AM  and will last for 5-6 hours.  Genetic testing: it came back, early!! (The Lord continues to provide, He knows my anxious heart way too well.) ALL of the 28 genes that were tested came back NEGATIVE!!! Praise God!!! This is great news that NOT EVEN ONE gene was positive!! However, this does not change my decision to not get a bi-...

Cancer. Part 2.

When I found out that I (possibly) had cancer from the MRI results, I sent out an email for close friends and family to pray. The last post was the first email I sent out... I didn't know that I had cancer yet, this is the 2nd email (below). I still didn't know and we were spending John's 2nd birthday getting an ultrasound guided biopsy (to determine if the mass from the MRI was cancer or not) rather than getting to go spend the day celebrating him. I had to wait through the weekend - and his birthday party- for the results of whether is would be cancer or not. The waiting was the hardest few days I've experienced so far. I can't even sugar coat those few days. It was awful. Here's the email -- My precious friends and family-  Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers, your encouragement, your fasting, man y'all know how to rise up! I just left the breast center and had the ultrasound. They found one spot, but not the other.  Deuteronomy ...
