I don't think I have even talked to mom today. It is tough coming home from your first road trip with a 3 month old- exhausting. I feel like I have been playing catch up all day long but mom has been on my mind. I talked to her last night and she was anxious to know how Haidyn did on her first road trip. I was so proud to report to her that she slept almost the whole 11 hour round trip. Mom says that is because she had a talk with her before she left about enjoying her ride in the car seat so she won't miss out on fun things.
My day to day desk calendar had the perfect bible verse today for me when I walked in to work. Matthew 17:20- "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say to this mountain, "move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be immpossible for you." My mom has that kind of faith. It is inspiring to say the least but she is asking God to move her mountain. All the prayers that are being lifted to God are begging for more faith in his healing powers to restore mom to a cancer free life and he is answering. I have thought of my mom several times today and stopped to pray for faith like hers before praying for her healing. Thank you so much for your prayers that are giving her this strength and faith.
We are looking forward to being together later in the week with Todd family and with Ken's family. When we went to Alabama over the weekend we stayed Friday night with my Aunt Marsha and Uncle Freddie. Mamaw and Haidyn got to see each other twice in one week :) They are looking forward to coming to Southaven this year for Christmas and us all being together. I am glad mom isn't going to have the 3 drug treatment before Christmas. She will have just the Erbitux treatment tomorrow then a nap before she and Ken babysit for the first official time while we go out to dinner with some friends. I know she will be ready for the treatment to be over tomorrow so she can get home and rest before her baby gets there.
My hope is that everyone will have a very merry Christmas. That families be close and make memories to last a lifetime like I know our family will be doing this week.
