fighting the battle

I feel someone needs to hear this, so I am going to say it. (You know I can't keep my mouth shut!!)

It is never easy, no matter what battle you are fighting.  But with cancer, it is never ending.  You see, no one is ever cancer free, you are just in remission.  Staying well and healthy is a lifetime process.  A process that isn't easy.  But nothing that is worth while is ever easy. 
So my sisters and brothers that are fighting the battle, keep fighting and stay strong.  Never give up.

Psalm 16:8; I have set the lord continually before me; because he is at my right hand, I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.

Love to all,

Forever love

Back to normal.  Well I guess it's time to get back to a normal routine and back to work.   It seems weird not having my grandma around anymore.  All the memories that she has given me, I will cherish.  But now it's time to move on.  Thank you to all my family and friends who  have been a huge support me and my family during this time of grieving.  I wish you could have known my grandma the way I have.  You would have truly loved her.  She has taught me many things and help mold me into the person I am today.
1 Corinthians 4:8-10, "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed; and always carrying around in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, that also the life of Jesus might be expressed in our bodies."

Love to all,

FEAR

Fear. Sometimes I am afraid.  I would have to say most of the time I have fear. I am afraid of spiders, snakes, scary movies, really high places to name a few.  Light when you look over the ledge of a building and your stomach decides to do jumping jacks...I hate that feeling! Or I have a memory of my grandma Wix at the farm when I was a teenager.  She was out in the garden and started hollering for my uncle.  When we got out there, there was a very HUGE snake in the tree.  Well we killed it and it was like 6ft long!  Or that time on my Honduras mission in 2016 with my introduction to our wolf spider.  Didn't like that introduction in my bathroom! But these are fears that can be overcome (or at least I hope so!), right??? 
The fears that are hard to overcome for me is fear of death. Am I going to die soon?  What will I do if Robby dies?  What if something happens to my kids, to my parents?  This is a fear that is sometimes hard to overcome.  But.....and there is always a but, Jesus said to fear not.  He said it 365 times in the Bible. He also said to trust in him and to lean on him in the hard times. 
Even though we can't see him, HIS presence is always felt.  So when you have fear, FEAR NOT, because HE is with you.  Cast all your worries on him.

Jesus said: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
