Surgery

Michael's surgery went well today. It did take a little longer and the cut is longer than expected but the dr is confident he was able to remove all of the cancer. We are waiting for tests results to come back to make sure it was totally removed. Thank you Lord for a great morning with no complications. Will you continue to pray with me that the test will show that the cancer is gone!

My sweet friend Melissa is bringing dinner for us! What a blessing!! My mom and my mother-in-law came with us today. Thank you for taking that time to be here with us!

Resting in God's Grace

I am in the most difficult place I have ever been. My heart is so heavy. On Monday Michael had a skin biopsy done on a spot on his forehead. Yesterday, we got the news that confirmed my worst fear. It is cancer. It is not melenoma...Praise the Lord for that!!! It is slow growing and the dr is confident he can remove it all. It is one thing to say you have faith in God, but another thing entirely to actually "live" it. Everything I believe in, is being tested. That is a feeling I hope none of you will ever experience. But one thing I know for sure is true...we serve a mighty God. A God that is bigger than cancer! A God that is loving, forgiving, powerful, all knowing. A God in complete control. A God that knows the end, when we do not. A God that is soveren..loving, merciful. A God that has everything under control. A God that orchestrated all of this. And that is where I am resting...

Please pray for us. He goes in on the 24th to have the procedure done.

Mother's Day!

I had the very best day ever!! It started with breakfast in bed...french toast. I got beautiful roses and a card that says..."How does Breakfast in bed sound?" (openin the card) A VERY LOUD buzzing noise is coming from the inside and it is a smoke detector going off and it says, "it is the thought that counts, right??" Too funny! If I was not quite awake when the kids came in..I was sure awake when I opened the card! Ha! Michael also cooked out for lunch and did all of the cleaning up too! We finished the day off watching Heidi together! Love that movie!

On Friday, we drove to my parents to the Mother/Daughter banquet. It was so fun! Bryson's bday party was on Saturday and the kids of course had a blast and were not ready to go home. Michael had finished all of the cleaning that I didn't get to finish on Friday! So thankful for a husband that loves me and helps me!!!
