I Am Blessed...

I had no idea today was Wednesday. No idea what happened to Tuesday. I think I slept it away. I feel much better today finally. Tomorrow I'm going back over to the wig place to have a look and see if they have anything that resembles the cheap one I just bought online. It's ok, but you can tell it's a wig when you see where it parts. I'm hoping to find a lace front wig with a realistic part. We'll see. I just realized it is important for me to look like the old me. If I can give anyone advice if you have to have a wig, don't go too far from what you're used to. It really does make a big difference.

I finally got out by myself today and got my flu shot. My doctor recommended I get it sooner than later. If you haven't gotten yours, please do. If only to protect the ones of us who could be in real danger if you don't. I also stopped at Walmart and got a few more things for the fish tank. I am really enjoying it! It's very soothing.

I've been very anxious about the next four treatments and the side effects that can happen. But then, I was reminded of Philippians 4:6. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I have struggled with anxiety most of my life and it is no different now, except that these days, after the experiences I have faced, I am more certain than ever that God is already there in my tomorrows. He already knows the outcome and will carry me through it. This has been a very difficult year in many, many ways and I cannot say that I will be sorry for it to be over. But the trials I have faced this year have made me stronger in so many ways and made me very aware of how many people really do care about me. I am beyond blessed and I know it! The kindness and love I have been shown is such a blessing, both to me and to my family. Thank you loved ones, truly.

Today's Prayer Requests:

  1. Continue to pray for those affected by the hurricane. 
  2. Pray for our teachers, staff & students as they finally go back to school. Some have been divided up to go to different schools due to damage at their own school. This will be a very trying time for them all. 
  3. Please pray for the next four treatments, that they will not cause neuropathy. That is what I am most worried about, and also that they will be less traumatic than the previous four. 
  4. Please pray for me to be brave, strong, courageous and positive.

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...
