Well... post surgery is here and whoa it hit me like a freight train. I knew it was going to be hard, but I also know the really bad part is only going to be for a few more days.  I am very hopeful.  The GOOD! YALL - this is the really, REALLY good part... I AM (almost) CANCER FREE!! What does that mean? That means that my breast surgeon had a hard time even finding the tumor because it was so small and an even harder time finding my lymph nodes (they grow larger when the cancer has spread to them) so while we won't get the final pathology report back until Friday at the earliest, I am believing that this happened and is happening for God's Work to be done through me. Its all worth it for Him. The cancer stayed put (THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS) and it was all removed yesterday. To God be the GLORY! Other good things - I haven't been nauseous at all from any medicine, I can walk around, I've been able to eat today, and I've slept some. Thankful for friends w...

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...

Here's my 3rd email update... and before I get to it, I want to talk about Easter, because that's really what THIS is all about for me!!  Think for a minute about Jesus and WHY He is here... He is God's Son who was born into the world, became man like all of us to experience life as we do, yet without sin. he totally gets the experience of being human and the feelings that we all feel. He faced this world and lived blameless. He was killed... crucified on a cross and was completely dead. Until 3 days later, He rose again here on Earth before joining His Father in Heaven. Crazy story huh? [This is just a quick version, theres so much more to this story that I can't possibly sum it up in just a few sentences.] But what's even more crazy... that Jesus WILLINGLY gave up His life for us... ALL OF US! He could have brought himself down off the Cross, He could have chosen a way out, but He didn't. That's how much He loves us, that's how much He's willin...

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 ...
