I don't even know how long it has been since I posted. I didn't look. let's just say that I am enjoying life at this time. God is Good and every day I live I see that more and more. It was almost a year ago that I worked my last day at JMC. The actual date was April 18, 2012. Last year at this time, I did not think I would be here to see another April. I turn 44 on April 30th and that is a GREAT thing. I have lived to see another birthday. There was so much uncertainty at that time and to be honest there still is. My tumor markers have dropped and I am no longer in the pain I was in but I still don't know the days I have here on earth. My pancreas is stable, my liver has a spot but MORE IMPORTANTLY....GOD IS IN CONTROL. He brings me PEACE. Through Him my worries are gone. He holds my future in His Hands and that is completely where I want it to be. There are things I could worry about....my husband, my daughter, my mom, myself but I have chosen to give them all to GOD. He see ALL, HE knows All and He will take care of it ALL. I am sure there are things that go on that I am not even aware of or that maybe I have the slightest inkling of but God knows what I can't see, what I don't know and it is under His control. So God - do what you need with my life! You gave it to me and you will be the one to take it away so I am YOURS!!!
With all that said, I have to say that I have been reading through the Bible this year and have gotten in to the book of Joshua now. Every time Moses dies in my read through, I get a little sad. I so relate to him. He wasn't perfect but he was chosen. He messed up but he made it right and God accepted that. Now in Joshua, I am reading about this mighty man of God. It won't be long before I will be reading about David and I can't wait. Out of all the OT people, I think I most relate to him. He is real to me. He also made mistakes but he was considered to be a man after God's own heart. Oh the encouragement that I receive reading His Word.
That's all for now.
Love you all!
Keep Praying and Keep Looking UP! and if you are reading His Word, then start!

God is Good!
Good Morning!
Today is chemo day for me and I am up early. We had our windows open in our house last night and all I can smell is smoke. I don't know what caught fire but it is smoky outside too. The smell is really strong and I had to close windows. The smell is in my nose and bothering my eyes abit too. YUCK. I really don't have much to say today. Nothing new going on for me. It is spring break for Maggie so she will be home part of the time this week when she doesn't have plans. She is a busy girl.
This is actually one of my favorite times of the year. Out of all the seasons this ranks in my top 4 (lol). I do love the flowers that are blooming. I even got outside some last week and planted some things. Maggie asked me why I was doing this and I told her that I didn't get a chance to do it last year because I was feeling so bad then. It was a matter that I couldn't do it then but I really wanted to do it. Thanks to my mom for helping me and for David for picking up some mulch and helping spread it out. I now have some Knock Out rose bushes and azaleas planted. I can't wait for the roses to start blooming.
Another reason this is my favorite time of the year is because of EASTER. This time of the year we remember specifically the fact that Jesus died for our sins and then rose again. My magnet on my car says it clearly. He Came, He Died, He Rose, He Ascended, He's Coming Back!!!! Yes, He is!
Love you all!!! Keep Praying and Keep Looking Up! Feel free to pray for me today that I will eat when chemo is over. I usually don't want to eat and then I feel worse because of not eating. So please pray for appetite today.
