Lessons I have been reminded of this week. Rallying. Believing. Hoping. Seizing.
A recap of the past 5 days:
an agressive melanoma diagnosis for my cousin (a mother of 6), yet another chemo treatment for my other cousin (yes, she has not just one but two life threatening auto-immune deficiencies), a hospital stay for heart related chest pains for my Dad and a number of other issues that will not be posted on a blog for the world to see (duh we all need to have some sort of private life, right?).
So "Rally the Troops": i am asking that if you pray to please please pray for my family! We are all experiencing in our own ways a lot of need and fear pressing in on us in many ways right now. How do I express with words what can only really be described as a deep heavy pressing and weight within my heart for the healing and restoration of so many people I love? Heart ache? Is that how you describe a desire that is so much bigger than just a "desire"? I am no philosopher but my heart is heavy and so I am just asking that if you pray to please pray for my family! I believe the Lord hears our prayers and answers them and so this week has reminded me of the importance in Believing in the Power of Prayer and Trusting in Him. That is all. Simply just want to ask for those who pray to genuinely pray for my extended and immediately family today.
"Seize the Day": All these situations this week have reminded me of the sweetness and blessing of life. And they have reminded me of how quickly life can change. In an instant! So Today, I came home, and drank a glass of wine out of a yet to be used crystal wine glass given to us for our wedding! It was my fun way of remembering that life could change tomorrow so today I am going to celebrate even something as small as drinking $5 wine out of a "fancy" glass. I must say, i Highly recommend it! A bubble bath is in the works as well!
Blessings and love! And Good night!
Sweet friend, please trust me and know I will be praying for you, for everyone in your family. Also trust me when I say, I know exactly how you feel, and not just in one of those ways to sympathize with you and make you feel supported and loved, even though that would be nice and is OK, but really, I really, really know what you are going through, this has been the hardest year for us, hands down. Cancer sucks, life in general can be so tougj, things hurt us, trials happen, often sometimes, but still on any given day, our God is good. Love you.
