This morning dawned drizzly and dreary and seemed to match my mood. Bri and I had to be over the mountain at the hospital by 8:00 and y’all know what a morning person he is, so you can imagine how thrilled he was when the alarm woke us this morning. I have been suffering from a cold and spent the night coughing rather than sleeping, so I curled up in our heated seats and listened to the droning of NPR for an hour while we drove through fog so thick you could only see 2 feet in front of you. Although I am prone to exaggeration, that is not one. I actually heard them say it on the radio.

About Daughters…
I love reading other blogs, especially of people I don’t know. It’s like curling up with a good book. I especially like ones that make me think. I read this post today by Melanie at This A’int New York, and if you have a daughter or granddaughter or know someone who has daughters, I highly recommend you read it. My favorite parts?
There are six-year-old girls playing with dolls that look like street walkers and street walkers gaining fame from governors.
Young girls all over this country are cruising down a path of destruction and their mothers are driving them there in their minivans.
FAQ’s
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about where I am with treatment. What’s happening in my life? How am I feeling? So consider this my attempt to answer your questions… my deep-dark secrets will be revealed, all the things you ever wanted to know about me, those frequently asked question about who I am. My dorky life in middle and high school. My 80′s hair. The WAHM club. Well, no, not really. But if you have a question (about my health update, because I refuse to touch the 80′s) that I don’t answer, feel free to leave a comment and ask me.
Wednesday Worship: Everlasting God
Hello there my bloggy friends. It’s that time again, and I truly need today to collect my thoughts and focus even more on worship and how my heart has ached for my Lord this week. It has been a tumultuous and painful week for me, and I have needed to cling to God as my deliverer. I am realizing more and more how worship is a daily discipline. It is such an integral part of my life and my daily relationship with God.
“Oh My Stars” Moments
I had an “Oh my stars! I had cancer!” moment today, and there is a heaviness that lingers. It’s hard to even explain all the things that flit through my mind during these times. The memories of the fears wash over me, the joy of God’s strength in this trial, the overwhelming encouragement of our friends and family, the pain of change, the peace of trust.
