So remember when I mentioned my fears about losing my hair? If you were to feel my head through my hair, it does this weird thing in the back where it goes flat and then kinda drops off toward my neck. Blake and I have always joked about my alien head. So one of my […]
Day 14: Jesus IS Calling.
Like a lot of other great things in life, my mom was the one that introduced me to a small devotional book entitled Jesus Calling. At the time she gave it to me, I had no idea the impact it would have on my life and my relationship with The Lord. As I walked through the […]
Day 13: I really love vacations.
A1A to 312 to 207 to 95. That is how my physical body leaves this place. But I am afraid the rest of me is struggling to know how to leave it. I keep trying to put my finger on why this last week has been such an incredible vacation. Is it the rest that we […]
Day 12: There is no such thing as coincidence.
Last week I received an email from one of my dearest friends telling me about an incident in which she was volunteering in her daughter’s kindergarten class and met the mom of another girl in the class. The two little girls had become quite fond of one another since the start of school. As the […]
Day 11: My body is capable of way more than my mind tells me.
As a physical therapy student here in St Augustine, FL over 10 years ago, I had the privilege {some may argue with that word choice} of studying the human body. When I say study I mean cadavers, scalpels, formaldehyde and all. I absolutely loved it! It was thrilling to discover the way we were so […]
Day 10: Watching the sunrise is one of my favorite things.
There is a bit of a commitment involved when getting up early to watch the sunrise. It requires slipping out from under those toasty blankets and tiptoeing through the house to grab your keys and such {such for me is yummy cup of coffee} while taking the chance of waking those slumbering babies much before […]
Day 9: I long for the “endless hallelujah”.
Illness and pain have a way of making you long for heaven like never before. I imagine losing a loved one does the same. I especially look forward to: No more tears after Jesus wipes them all Experiencing reunions between loved ones A heavenly body without torturing it with Insanity workouts Meeting and hanging out […]
Day 8: I lacked compassion.
Life on this earth is hard. Bad things happen all the time…not just cancer and death because of cancer but other tragic things as well. I found that I used to hear about something bad happening to someone and would actually try to push it out of my mind. It was almost as if I […]
Day 7: My husband is the wind in my sails.
We live right outside of Annapolis, MD where sailing is a huge sport and pastime for many people. As much as I appreciate it, especially when I drive over the bridge that takes us from Annapolis to our home, we don’t sail. However, I think I understand it enough to know that without wind a […]
Day 6: Hair or no hair, I will always be “Mommy”.
I had several fears about losing my hair which I am sure you will hear more about in my future posts. I think my greatest fear was that my kids would view me differently. I was so concerned they would see me as some kind of freak with my bald head. I imagined having to […]
