Medical Update
Last week Ben and I decided that we really needed to give a medical update. Here’s a 3-minute update about how I’m doing right now. I’m so glad that the One who knows the details of our future goes before us today.

Forgiving . . .
Three weeks ago I began another journey of restoration. There is an issue that I am dealing with that came to me. It was dumped in my lap—I did not ask for it. Yet there it sits waiting for me to figure out what to do with it. In the beginning, I’ll admit I was… Read More
My Verse Part 2
I am FINALLY ready to embrace this verse completely! It has only taken me 7 months to find and hold onto the truths found within this verse! Yes, I have still been shying away from it for the last few months. Oh–I knew it was there, but I kept it at bay. And again, it… Read More
Moments 2 Meditate I CAN DO
I feel like the best way to explain the purpose for this M2M is to share an excerpt from Chapter 5 of Trusting God When Life Gives You Crap. This chapter centered on the enormity of the debulking surgery to get my body to R0–not being able to see any cancer with the naked eye.… Read More
Sara’s Success Story
One of the hard questions I have talked with God about is “How come He waited till Sara was 13 before we found out about her?” I have struggled with this because looking back over the adoptions of our three daughters, I realized that Sara was around 3-4 years old when we began the process… Read More
Scan Results and Camera Shopping
I had scans yesterday at Mayo in Jacksonville. We began early and were finished mid-afternoon. I don’t know how to beat around the bush, so we are just going to jump into the results. My CA 125 numbers went up a little bit from 259 to 276. So that’s not all bad, but it’s not… Read More
Beaching It This Week
I’m beachin’ it this week in Daytona. It’s something I’ve done for the past 14 years with these ladies—my WooHoo’s! I plan to have some restful, relaxin’ days with my toes in the sand on the edge of the water. I’ll be talking and laughing with these crazy ladies who are all so unique and… Read More
The Grass IS Always Greener . . .
exactly where God planted you! I’ll come back to that truth in a little bit, but for now let’s dig in with the original idiom. I recently read an article at Idioms.online that explained the origin of the statement, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” Apparently, a Roman poet… Read More
Uncertain Days . . .
Last week our family found ourselves in a whole new arena of life. We always knew this week would someday arrive, but facing it head-on and thinking and preparing for it eventually are on two very far flung spectrums. On Tuesday morning, I received a call from my sister telling me of a medical concern… Read More
Sit and Soak
We are first-time-raised-bed-gardeners this spring. We are just beginning to see some of the fruits of our labors and we are so giddy with excitement! Everyday we walk outside and open the newly built gate and check on our babies. We pull a few weeds, dehead the marigolds, and check on new growth. Sometimes we… Read More
