Over the last several weeks at Bay Area Community Church, we have been hearing sermons about marriage, and this was all to lead up to a marriage conference called the Art of Marriage this weekend. Blake and I had been talking about going but were having some difficulty finding childcare. Between hearing last week’s news […]
Gene Mutation
I have certainly learned a lot about Breast Cancer, much more than I ever thought I might. However, I have also tried not to learn too much. A friend of mine shared an excerpt with me from John Piper’s Desiring God entitled “Don’t Waste Your Cancer”. One of the key points he makes in this excerpt is […]
My Faithful Guide
Lately, I have been reading a devotional book entitled Jesus Calling by Sarah Young in my time with the Lord. The devotionals are written as if Jesus himself is speaking. Today’s devotional said, “As you focus on your thoughts on Me, I will guide you carefully along today’s journey. Don’t worry about what is around the next […]
Blessed Assurance
After having some time to process and spend time as a family over the weekend, I decided that I really needed to be in church on Sunday. During the service, Blake and I were surrounded by a few of our closest friends which provided tremendous support. The sermon was about marriage but it was also […]
A Day to Grieve
I am thankful to say that there are only a few times I feel like I have truly grieved in my life. My most recent recollection of grieving occurred 2 years ago to the day when I walked with a dear friend through the loss of her baby boy when she was 36 weeks pregnant. […]
A Prayer Answered
The following is an e-mail that I sent out to friends/family on the day of my biopsy. Hey Faithful Friends, I just wanted to write a quick e-mail to give you an update about today’s procedure and to let you know that we are so incredibly grateful for your friendship. The last two days […]
The Body of Christ
As the news began to sink in, I realized that I wanted my closest girlfriends to know so that they too could begin to pray. Not only did they start faithfully praying but the e-mails and texts filled with scripture came pouring in. (By the way, I cherish each and every verse/poem/excerpt that is […]
Divine Appointment
My mammogram/sonogram was scheduled for 8:30 am and I left the house with plenty of time to get to AAMC. Blake would be leaving the house shortly after me for work so my mom was coming to watch the kids. But of course when living in Arnold and dealing with the Severn River Bridge, you […]
My Breast Cancer Journey
One night in early July 2011 as I was lying in my bed reading I felt a lump in my right breast. Approximately two weeks later at the urging of a dear friend, I was examined by my Nurse Practitioner, Laurie who referred me to our local hospital’s Breast Center. On Tuesday, July 26th, I […]
Meet Kara
My name is Kara and I currently live just outside of Annapolis, Maryland where I was blessed to be born and raised. I was born as the youngest and only daughter into a Christ-centered home where I always felt loved and valued. In 2003, I married my Hawaiian-bred husband, Blake at Herrington on the Bay […]
