Blah day...

Today wasn't so great. No appointments. No reports. No doctors of any kind. Just one of those days, you know? It seems as though the initial shock is wearing off a little and the reality of the situation is setting in.

Every time my mind falls on something else like work, TV, what's for lunch?, etc. it seems something or someone reminds me what's happening in our lives. I see that little pink ribbon everywhere now! Its like its following me!

Allison was pretty emotional last night and this morning... again, reality knocking... A plethora (always wanted to use that word) of cards keep arriving in our mailbox. Such kind words. Wow, how blessed we are to have so many people who love us. And if you're reading this, believe me, we love you right back.

It was such a blessing to be at choir tonight. We practiced for an hour and a half but it felt like 20 minutes. I love being around God's people. I feel my strength coming back.

O my people, trust Him all the time. Pour out your longings before Him, for He can help ~ Psalm 62:8

Choir was amazing last night. I don't know about you, but I have a feeling these songs Jim has chosen are no coincidence. Of course they aren't. "My Life is in Your Hands"...? What a powerful song based in truth!

I have to agree with Katie. The whole time we were singing, my mind was on you and Allison. Love how God uses song in our lives.

You, Allison, Caylie, and Zach have been in our prayers from the first day we learned of the lump. Alice just called us with your blog address . . . we will be checking it continually, so we will know best how to pray. We love you dearly.

"Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." Lam. 332-33
