Calm

Beginning the Calm

It is the 9 day count down to surgery. Nine days until a decision I am making will change my life forever. I keep praying and hoping for another conformation that I have made the right decision. I had a moment of clarity but I still second guess myself. But then I am brought back to the reality of the possibility of cancer. Watching my dad die from cancer, I know that is not something I ever want to face. So, I decided this is going to be a week of calm. A week to trust my instincts and know everything is in the hands of the Lord.

*hugs* Sometimes even when everything is perfectly normal, the kiddos just don't show up. It's a bizarre phenomenon...but there it is. I do know that the Lord has a plan, that it is unique and made just for us, and that if we trust him, we'll get to see how it all fits together in the end. This is never an easy thing to go through, I hope you have lots of supportive people around to take care of you. :)

I'll join you in your week of calm. What a great idea. And, you know where the second guessing is coming from IF you've already had confirmation before. Cling to it. Oh, and p.s., I LOVE your new layout. It's very readable, pleasing to the eye, etc. Nice work!

You can do it! I've wondered if I should mention this and decided that yes, I should! You need to feel all the love and support that you have out there...Just wanted you to know that Shawn and I, along with our kids who are old enough, made you the object of our fast yesterday. We fasted that you'd be able to endure this last week and this trial the way that you would like to and that the operation will go well. We are praying for you and hoping that the best part of your life is yet to come!

I hope and pray that everything will go well. We never know why we have to sacrifice some things in our life or go through the hardships that seem never ending at times but I hope you can find solace in your(our) faith and know that even after all this heartache and uncertainty he will be forever mindful of you and the desires of your heart.
