made it another year!

So glad the dreaded mammogram is over and IT WAS CLEAR! Praise God.  So another year, clear, cancer free.  Now off to stressing over other things, like my kids growing up!  They went to the homecoming dance last week and they are not kids anymore, they are young adults.  And I am mixed about them leaving for college next year.
We are touring Vandy, Asbury, Western and Bellarmine so far.  I would love for one of them to go to Vandy, you know I just loooove Nashville and it would give me an excuse to go there!!
but I want them to be close to home so they can come home anytime.
So here is the upside and downs of them leaving:
I will have my house back all to myself!
no more toting them around town
Date night more frequent!
OR:
I miss them terribly!!
the house will be too quiet and lonely
I will miss toting them around town

This year is going to be a great year watching them grow into young adults and moving on.

"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."  Romans 8:26

Love to all,

Here we go again

It never gets any easier.  And I know it never will. 
                Yearly mammograms.
Today is my mammogram.  Fear has a funny way of popping up when you don't want it to.  I know I will be ok.  I am not afraid of recurrent cancer because I know what to expect.
That is the problem....I know what to expect.  I don't want to go through what I had to go through 2 years ago again.  It was a hard time in my life.  I think the hardest I have ever had to experience. 
So at 1 pm today, I will be felt up, squished and smashed and receive my radiation to see if I remain cancer free. 
So I will lay all my fears and anxiety at Jesus' feet and let him carry my burden.  That is what gets me through my trials and when satan tries to bring me down. 
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."  Matthew 11:28

Love to all,
