    Asking for prayers from my sisters.  My DH and I got a bad "cold" 6 weeks ago, which has turned into a real nasty case of bronchitis.  We need to get well.  We are on meds and antibiotics, but it doesn't want to seem to let go of us.  Small thing, but we apprecaite it.

    Prayers for those mentioned above and for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the tornadoes across the country.

    It breaks my heart to see homes destroyed...so simply very sad!!! Lives ripped apart, memories trashed in such a vulgar way...exposed like a raped murder victim.

    Been out of town for a while, but checked in once in a while.  Praying for all.  Thursday is my last Herceptin!  Thought I would share a picture from our few days of camping.  Beautiful sunset near the Tennessee River in Chattanooga.

    Absolutely breathtaking, Grace.  One more display of how much God loves us and wants to share such beautiful scenes with us.

    Praying for all. God reminds us of His Love with beautiful scenes - like Grace's sunset! He knows all, He cares, and He is Able to work ALL things together for good for those who love Him.

    There was a miscommunication and they will not do the US until next Wednesday.  Unless it becomes lifethreatening, they will not induce until the 22nd, four more weeks.  I remember the days of carrying a big baby and how uncomfortable I was.  I hope Baby Boo's mama handles it well. 

    When I was carrying Boo's daddy, who was due Sept 17th, I was told on August 21st not to leave town because the baby could come any time (90% effaced).  He held on until October 7th. So easy for me to tell Boo's mama to have patience now since I am not the one carrying the baby.

    Holy cow! They let you go from a due date of Sept 17th to October 7th??? That's 3 weeks!! That's cruel, but did he come naturally or was he finally induced?

    He came naturally but he got stuck so they had to use forceps.  Surprisingly he was only 9 lbs.

    Was he your first?

    My first had forceps too. My second one came out so fast that the nurse caught her as she shot off the end of the table!! We both would have died if the nurse didn't happen to be there. Still gives me shivers!!!!

    Yes he was my first. My second came early, my third a week late, and my last on his due date.

    I think things like that sunset are God's way of telling us to slow down, and appreciate what is around us.  It is all too fleeting!

    Meece- I think so too!  We were at a Bible Conference in Chattanooga and the weather and campground were so beautiful that we stayed and just rested in the Lord for a couple of days!  Very healing!  I got up in the morning early with my coffee and Bible and sat in  my new 0 gravity chair by the lake!  It is so wonderful all of the natural beauty that the Lord has given for us to enjoy for FREE!!!!!  You can tell He created us to "be still and know that I am God"!!!!

    Be Still And Know


    Psalm 46:10 / Zec. 2:13

    Be still and know that He is God
    Be still and know that He is holy
    Be still oh restless soul of mine
    Bow before the prince of Peace
    Let the noise and clamor cease
    Be still and know that He is God
    Be still and know that He is faithful
    Consider all that He has done
    Stand in awe and be amazed
    And know that He will never change
    Be still
    Be still and know that He is God
    Be still and know that He is God
    Be still and know that He is God
    Be still
    Be speechless
    Be still and know that He is God
    Be still and know He is our Father
    Come rest your head upon His breast
    Listen to the rhythm of
    His unfailing heart of love
    Beating for His little ones
    Calling each of us to come
    Be still
    Be still

    What a wonderful set of memories!

    My hair came back in very curly.  I too, had stick straight hair before chemo.  Now that I am years out, it is stick straight again and very thin.  Oh, well, it was a nice reward for enduring chemo, even if it was for just awhile.

    Congrats, Grace.  I'm so very happy for you to be done.  Hair is gorgeous.  I have a beautiful picture in my house with that very verse on it.  It is to remind me to stop and remember who is in control---not meLaughing
