Short and sweet...

-
This will be short, I think. I am still under the influence of the valium they gave me earlier in the day before I had my MRI. Turns out, it wasn't so bad...certainly due to the valium, but also because I was face down in a comfortable position, kind of like being at the chiropractor really. They gave me headphones with some nice "spa" music playing which was promptly drowned out by the insanely loud MRI machine. I didn't go to sleep but was able to stay calm and still for the 30-minute procedure. One more thing to check off the list.

Boy, do those meds work well. Speaking of meds, I am now on an anti-anxiety medication and I truly hope it helps. To be honest, I hate taking meds but I don't have much choice right now.

Tomorrow we pack for camping. We got a little bit done today but tomorrow is THE day. We must finish packing! I managed to get the list made today so hopefully tomorrow we can get it all done. I cannot wait to get to the mountains!

Had dinner tonight with friends who feel like family and even though I was still completely loopy from this afternoon's medication, it was so good to be with them. James, Donna, Doc, Laurie... Scott and I are so thankful for you and truly blessed to have you in our lives. We love you...and no that's not the meds talking, LOL!

Prayer Requests & Praises:
1. Praise, the MRI is over and I didn't freak out!
2. Please pray the results of the MRI are good & that I hear about results the first of the week.
3. Please pray that results of the gene test are negative for the cancer gene.
4. Please pray for our trip. We leave Sunday morning. Me, Scott, Alex, Laura, Taylor, Jarod & Aimee
5. Please pray that my surgery would be scheduled soon. I am ready to give an eviction notice to this unwanted invader! I'd take it out myself if I could.
6. Please pray for me to be able to make the right decision on the type of surgery to have. This will be made easier by the MRI and gene test results.
6. Praise, I have meds to help with anxiety (please pray they work) and I am most definitely going to sleep well tonight! My eyes are closing as I type this. Good night loved ones.

The Music Within Us

The Music Within Us Johann Sebastian Bach's life was marked by profound personal tragedy. He lost his young daughter, then three sons, and later his wife. Despite remarrying, he and his second wife, Anna Magdalena, endured the heartbreaking loss of four more daughters and three sons—11 beloved children in total. Many researchers have pondered how Bach managed to cope with such profound loss. How did his spirit not break, how did his heart keep beating, and most intriguingly, how did he continue to compose? Bach's resilience and creativity stemmed from his deep faith. At the beginning of each score, he inscribed 'Lord help me,' and at the end, 'Soli Deo Gloria' ('Glory to God Alone'). For Bach, music was a form of prayer, a sacred dialogue between man and God. Listening to Bach’s compositions invites you into this profound conversation, a testament to the enduring power of faith and music. In the ancient times of the Bible, the Levites held a unique and s...

Let Me Tell You About This Man I Love...

Sometimes, you just have to stop and recognize the amazing people in your life, and today, I want to take a minute to tell you about my husband. He is good to the core—fiercely loyal, endlessly kind, deeply loving, honest to a fault, effortlessly funny, incredibly driven, and insanely talented. Am I biased? Probably. But is it 100% true? Absolutely. And would anyone who really knows him agree? Without a doubt. He never stops thinking about his calling—always creating, learning, and discovering. I have no idea how he does it! I’ve often wished I had even half of his relentless drive—and his level of patience. Most nights, you can find him in his home office, creating click tracks, soundtrack videos, and discovering new music to bring to his ministry. We are opposites in many ways, yet so much alike in others—like most couples who balance each other out. I thrive on spontaneity, love changing things up, and admittedly have a quick temper. He, on the other hand, is calm, cool, and collect...

Promise Me...

A friend recently posed a thought-provoking question on Facebook: "If you woke up today knowing it would be your last day on earth, what would you do? Who would you spend your time with?" This question made me pause and reflect, as many of her posts do. She is incredibly kind, true to herself regardless of others' opinions, unafraid to try new things, and extremely intelligent and I admire her. Thanks friend. There is something I want everyone to know. I want my sons and their wives, my beautiful daughters-in-love to know. I want my future grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all future generations to understand this without a shadow of a doubt. If you're reading this blog somewhere out there in the future, know that if there is one core message in this blog, this is it. Please, read this. All of you. Promise me that if you don't know God in this way, you will think about it deeply. If you are struggling because the church has treated you or someone you love po...
