I Can't Say It Enough

I think the vast majority of the people who read this blog know me well enough that they know what a horrible yet miraculous roller coaster ride these last few days have been. You've been there offering your time, your ear, your prayers, and your help. I HATE that it takes times like these to bring home yet again just how blessed I am but boy am I glad to be! So, to everyone who's been there for me the last few days...thank you. You're wonderful and I hope you know how much I love you all!

Oh! God? I couldn't leave you out. Thank you for blessings beyond belief and a huge Christmas miracle. I love You!

God is In the LIttle Things

I've always had a pretty strong faith in God. I've seen Him act in some mighty big moments in my life (perhaps one or two of those is another blog post?). Today I saw him in the little things as the day unfolded. It was wonderful, though I can't really put into words why it meant so much to me.

To begin the day I had to get Ty to a dentist appointment 30 mins away. The morning went smoothly, including no major behaviors from Jay. We got the others to school and were on our way on time and good to go.

Yesterday I had realized, though, that Logan had a counseling appointment 15 mins away at a time near enough to Ty's dentist appointment that I didn't think we'd make it. I couldn't even cancel it because they're not open on weekends or before we had to be on the road today. I chose to let it go and try to make it. We got out of the dentist and back into town in time for me to drop Ty off at his school and go get Logan at his. The session went well according to the therapist.

After returning Logan to school I got back home just in time to get a call from my cousin asking if I wanted to meet for lunch. Fun! It was great.

After lunch I ran a few errands and got everything I had to do done. This included finding something I've been looking for/wanting for quite some time. What? Earbuds for my iPod. A little thing I know but I really enjoy my music and audiobooks. I've been looking all over town and I hadn't found what I wanted. They were either too expensive or weren't the kind I wanted. Today? I felt lead to check the Dollar General. I didn't think they'd have what I wanted but I stopped to look. Sure enough they had the kind I wanted for $4!!!! I'm sooo happy. Jay wants that kind as well and loves pink and there was even a pink pair for me to get for him for Christmas!

See? A bunch of little things working together to make a busy day that much smoother and happier!

Great News...Tricia Lawrenson Update

I was reading Nate's blog tonight and it appears the doctors now think all of Tricia's lymphoma is gone and the spots they thought were the cancer are an infection that she is being treated for. I am beyond thrilled for them! It's so hard to look at this wonderful family and not see the miracles God has worked in their lives! Thanks so much to those of you who prayed or sent good thoughts their way. Please continue if you would...the infection needs to be cleared up and Nate is now sick (a cold) and isolated from her but tonight I'm just grateful for the blessing of answered prayers!

Please Pray....Tricia Lawrenson Update

If you recall I posted before about a family named the Lawrensons. Tricia, the wife and new mom, has CF and recently had a double lung transplant. She developed a form of cancer common to patients undergoing that procedure and the first round of treatment didn't do much. They began a second, more intense round of treatment and it was said that if the lymphoma didn't respond well to that she was in trouble. Nate updated his blog today and the news isn't good. He wrote that he doesn't yet know what comes next but PLEASE keep them in your thoughts and prayers! It means a lot to them, and to me! I'll post here as I find out more I'm sure or you can click on the cf husband link in my blog list.
