I'm in a Cleaning Mood, Which Means I'm BORED...

-
The last couple of days have been really good. I have felt good, aside from a pesky headache today, and got a lot accomplished around the house. I have reorganized my pantry and cabinets and cleaned the refrigerator and freezer out! I've washed all the throw rugs, dusted everything, cleaned my room, vacuumed and washed all the clothes. The fact that I have been on a cleaning streak if proof that I am bored out of my mind, LOL! I hate to clean. I am, truth be told, a bit messy usually. Some things in life have shifted my perspective obviously. I feel the need to get things are organized as possible for the days when I simply cannot get out of bed. If this next chemo is like the last, I will be in bed for about 4 days. I will need your prayers during that time loved ones even more so. It is so easy to get discouraged when one day of misery just blends into the next. I'm hoping my new meds will help and if nothing else they just keep me asleep most of the time. I am already dreading it and hoping for it all at the same time. If my white blood cells have not rebounded enough they will put it off. Please pray that doesn't happen.

I got the most amazing, wonderful chemo survival gift bag today from my boss, supervisor and another coworker. They sent me a huge Scout bag (so cute!) full of everything I could possibly need over the next few months. I had tears in my eyes. It was just so thoughtful of them and I appreciate it so, so much!! I am one blessed girl to work with such amazing people.

I have been going a bit stir crazy not being able to leave the house. I will be glad to "get out of jail" for a bit on Friday since that is "wig day"! I'll be sure and post a photo so you can tell me what you think of it. I'm looking forward to it. She's gonna fit it and style it for me and make sure I am perfectly happy with it. I really love Sheila's! My daughter in law's mom, my dear friend, Ann is going with me for moral support.

My mom & dad bought us a freezer and it'll be here Friday too, so Alex is gonna come over and stay with me for a bit just in case the freezer is delivered before Scott gets home from playing golf, or while I'm gone to get my wig. That'll give us some extra space to put leftovers and things. My tiny refrigerator freezer is currently full of popsicles, sorbet & ice packs, LOL!

I got more cards in the mail today with sweet messages that made me teary-eyed. Thank you all so much for your encouraging words! They mean so much to us!!

Today's Prayer Requests:

  1. Praise for amazing coworkers!
  2. Praise for feeling good and being able to get the house somewhat organized!
  3. Pray for my white blood cell count to rise.
  4. Pray that my chemo will be able to go forward on Monday.
  5. Pray now that my symptoms can be controlled better this time.
  6. Pray for my family.
  7. Pray for me to be strong, patient, brave and positive.
Verse for Today:

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...
