Right as Haidyn and I pulled up to my mom's driveway my sister called. Mom was outside waiting on her girls so she got on the phone with Erica for a minute. We are all getting very excited about being together NEXT WEEK :)
Mom went to work for a little while today. She called me just after noon to let me know she was home. She was tired but feeling good about getting up and at em this morning. She and Haidyn "took a rest period" as mom calls it. She enjoyed pulling an old trick for getting me to sleep to work on baby girl.
Ken had a boys night out with a couple of his men buddies. Mom said it might be a beer bust minus the beer or bust- haha. Ken had to spend plenty of time with his girls though so the most important one laid on his chest and took another "rest period" while he watched the news.
God is really blessing our lives. Mom is scheduled for her commercial shoot for the West Clinic tomorrow. I think she is excited about it. I can't say enough or express our gratitude fairly for those people that work at the West Clinic. If you have never been there, you are missing out on some of the smartest and sweetest people in the world. We are taken away with mom's direct doctor and her research nurse; they are fabulous! The entire staff that we have encountered have been nothing but stellar in their field of medicine and character of people to literally treat others as they would want to be treated in the circumstance.
I pray daily that these people find their confidence and compassion from the same place we do- God. God promises to always be holding our hand guiding us with his counsel. After which God will lead us to glory and the cares of this world will never amount to the love we have for him to overcome through the strength he provides. How many can say they have strong enough faith in God that they can and will overcome all that we are faced with her to enter glory with him? Many would say they do not but many would say they do. I have ridden this fence for many years of my life through these circumstances I would say this family is strengthening their faith in the steadfast presence of God and the promise or peace in his love and promises.
Thank you all. Mom's heart bowl runneth over :) with cards. She is still enjoying all the emails, calls and prayers. We are blessed to have friends and family who love us and love the Lord to lift us in prayer as often as you do. Thank you!

Have fun with the commercial. My neighbors did a commercial for Clearview Cancer Institute in Huntsville. It was filmed in their garden which I get to see every time I leave my house. The husband/wife team have both fought cancer, discovered gardening as therapy, and now volunteer at the Institute. Seeing the commercial on TV and passing their garden every day is a constant reminder of the wonderful people who fight this disease and the supporters who cheer them on in their fight. God bless my friend Joan, the new 'movie star'. LuvU, Barbara
ReplyDeleteHope all went well at the commercial shoot! What an opportunity to help support the clinic and the wonderful work they do, while giving a face to the everyday people who fight the disease. We're proud of all of you as you confront this battle head on - with your eyes on Him the entire time.
