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...

In 4 days I will be having surgery... For the past few weeks our mailbox and front door step have be inundated with words of encouragement and prayer, care packages to get me through post surgery, and more offers to help in whatever way possible. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for the kindness of so many people. Thank you so much for all of your prayers, kind words, sweet gifts, and willingness to help. I am so very grateful! Surprisingly, I am feeling pretty good about surgery on Tuesday. I'm just ready for it to be over with at this point. Here are a few prayer requests for surgery on Tuesday: 1) The cancer stayed in my breast and did not venture out to my lymph nodes or anywhere further 2) Both surgeries to go smoothly (bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction part 1) - Pray for my doctors (by name if you want - Dr. Morehouse and Dr. Mackay), the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and anyone else who may be involved. 3) Pain management after the surgery. I know I will b...
