I realize I am a bit late with this series since some time has passed since the ball dropped and the fireworks have been shot off. In Hawaii, where we have spent the last two weeks, New Year’s Eve is a significant occasional which can only sufficiently be celebrated with an arsenal of fireworks. Or […]
Day 31: Help Write Her Story
Before I really get started on this post I need to preface it by saying that you should have a good understanding of how your Pink Warrior friend views her story. Just because I have been so open about my journey sometimes I have to remind myself that this whole thing is a truly sensitive […]
Day 29: Encourage Her To Build An Altar
I have had the privilege of studying The Word over the last few years as a participant in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International. I cannot say enough good things about BSF and the things I have learned though the studies of Genesis, Matthew and now the Life of Moses. In my study of the Old […]
Day 14: Pray For Her
The importance of this idea was made real to us yet again this week as we learned of my mother-in-law being in the hospital in the Hawaii. Speaking of feeling helpless, nothing like being 5000 miles from her with nothing to offer but worry. But then I started listening to my own writing and realized I […]
Day 9: Remind Her Of God’s Promises
My mom, my daughter and I have the unique privilege to attend Bible Study Fellowship www.bsfinternational.org together every Thursday morning. Three generations studying the same thing at the same time, pretty cool huh? This year’s study is about the life of Moses. As you may or may not know, there was a pretty important calling on […]
The View From This 37 Year Old Lens
This week we celebrated my birthday. I must say the view from this 37 year old lens is pretty great…. Three years ago I was facing my 34th birthday with a cancer diagnosis looming around me. The lens was a little foggy and the view was quite blurry (mostly from the Oxycodone) but it was […]
Book Review: A Million Little Ways
Uncovering the art alive within me and releasing it into my world is what it means to worship God. -Emily Freeman I would not consider myself a “reader”. I enjoy reading but I don’t breeze through books. It is partly a time thing but it is mostly an attention thing. Sometimes I finish a book. […]
Warrior Up
Last week was the 3 year anniversary of my diagnosis. It is not often that I think about my cancer returning. But it does happen. Somedays the thought is a quick jab in the back of my head that is interrupted by life around me. Other days, it is like a blaring punch in the […]
Going and Making
“How do I know God is real?” “What will heaven be like?” says our deep thinking kindergartner. I have prayed for these moments. I understand the sweet significance of these moments. So why am I left feeling somewhat regretful in these moments? Perhaps it is the echo of a certain scripture passage about always being […]
A Christmas Miracle
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:13, 14 ) December should be a time of happy anticipation, one celebration after another. Birthdays (we have many in our […]
Looking Back
To Know God and to be known by Him-this is an indescribable blessing -David Jeremiah from When Your World Falls Apart I read this statement the morning after my last surgery, the final big step in my ten-month journey through breast cancer. I try to imagine walking the journey without the truth of this statement and I […]
Life As Usual, Just More Precious
Your prayers have been felt! The last few days have been so incredible for me. It all began on Thursday evening when I was able to go on a pretty lengthy walk with one of my best girlfriends through our neighborhood. Then in the wee hours of the morning I was able to […]
A Day for Courage
According to Wikipedia, courage is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, and intimidation. Cancer and surgery for cancer stir up some fear and uncertainty for me. It even intimidates me. The day(s) ahead will involve some danger and I am likely to experience pain. Therefore, I’d say this is a day for courage. The only […]
Shepherding the Flock
A few weeks ago, my dad (who recently completed the training required to become an Elder at our church) reminded me of James 5:14-16 and asked if I might consider having the Elders come together to pray for me. Then it was hardly a coincidence that Pastor Greg preached a sermon two weeks ago from […]
Unfailing Love
In everything I read yesterday, the theme of God’s unfailing love kept jumping out to me. Ephesians 3:16-19 tells me that He wants me to experience how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. I am definitely experiencing it. At 5 pm yesterday, I received a call from the Radiologist, […]
