Dear Reader, Sometimes life is hard. And it’s not easy to see the whole picture when you’re living out a chapter or season at a time. I don’t know where you are this point of your story. I don’t know the things you’ve had to walk through. But I do know it’s not the end. […]
Even When
It’s been a while since we’ve had a #BeStillTuesday. I have no excuse other than I’ve been too busy to Be Still. I know, I know. That’s the whole point of Being Still. It’s why I started these Be Still blog posts. To let God renew my spirit. Somewhere along the way, I’ve let the […]
Joy
We had a jam-packed weekend and a long day yesterday at our youngest child’s chemo appointment. Top it off with a migraine that lasted for almost three days, and it was nearly an unbearable trip riding in the car for eight hours. I woke up not hurting this morning. YAY! I snuck into the living […]
12 Chapters, 365 Chances
We went into 2017 with uncertainty and fear, {with Gabe’s Leukemia diagnoses} but we held on to the hope that God had a plan for it all. 2017 has been a year of struggle and grief. We lost my Nanny, and we’ve had to watch Gabe go through some intense chemotherapy and numerous procedures. We […]
One Year Later
I’ve been dreading this date. December 29th, 2017. It’s been exactly one year since our whole world was turned upside down and stopped. It’s been one year since I watched a team of doctors enter our hospital room with that look and know it isn’t good news they are bringing. One year since my youngest […]
Christmas Traditions
This year has been a roller coaster of emotions. As most of you already know and follow our story, our youngest son was diagnosed with Leukemia right after Christmas last year. He is in Remission and while we are so thankful for that, we still have a year and a half left of treatments. We […]
The Seer, Book One of The Kalila Chronicles
On a blog post a few years ago, I posted about how I wasn’t a fan of change. Now a few years later, that’s still true to an extent. Positive change and growth should always be something that we strive to do. If we’re not changing and growing then we are stagnate, perhaps even […]
#GabeStrong Continuation Week 14
{106 weeks to go} We had a photo shoot at St. Jude this morning for them to possibly use for fundraising! Gabe was excited until he had to put on a hoodie that they wanted him to wear and then he refused to get his picture made by himself. 🙄 We ended up getting a […]
#GabeStrong – Continuation Week 11
{109 weeks to go} Another weekly visit to St. Jude has come and gone. I realized that I was writing “mini blogs” on my Facebook posts instead of posting here. I apologize! Gabe had his routine lab draw, nurse and doctor visit, followed up with chemo in the med room. His counts were a little […]
