It is late and I can't sleep so I am blogging. I can't seem to stop thinking about all that is ahead of me next week and what a crazy and unexpected summer it has been. Time and time again I try to make plans, but God makes others for me. I guess I still need to learn that He is in control.
As many of you know, I was supposed to go to Colorado on an adventure to take courses in book publishing (yes I am a nerd) but due to some health issues I have been struggling with I am instead stuck in Texas for the rest of the summer. I am scheduled to have surgery on Tues. to remove a tumor from one of my ovaries (and oh so looking forward to it). The doctor will not know whether or not it is malignant until she opens me up (oh what a lovely thought). Anyway, if all goes well, recovery should take about two weeks. Please keep me in your prayers.
You are a strong young lady, my precious girl! And just think ... only 3 1/2 more weeks and you will be back in B'ham with your other family and friends! Love you!
Great to hear from you, Emily! You are in my prayers! Hope all goes well with your surgery and you will soon be good as new! Kevan and I have been in Lubbock for one year now. Things are going well, but we miss everyone at Wylie and Stephenville too.
Hi baby girl! Well you're "home" again! Are you lovin' it? Hope you got your stuff moved back okay. Tried to call you last night (Friday) to see how things were going. Keep me posted. Love you!
I have heard it said on more than one occassion that professional writers don't blog. I suppose that is the reason I don't blog very often...I like to think of myself as a professional writer even though the reality is I am only an ametur and have published nothing of great significance. I am going to try, however, to do better at keeping a blog.
So many changes are taking place in my life, and I still don't understand why changes come suddenly and all at the same time. Last week, one of my dearest friends, Stacy, moved to GA, which has affected me more than I thought it would. I suppose most of it goes back to my childhood and the feelings of of abandonment I experienced. I never cared for major life changes too much. However, I am very excited for Stacy and the new adventures that await her. I know she will do well as she is a strong Christian.
I have enjoyed being here in B'ham and spending time with MJ, Papa C., Charlie, Adam, and of course the newest addition, baby Drake. He is so adorable and fun to just watch. I have enjoyed watching Adam and Charlie take on their new role as parents. They are great with Drake. Perhaps the most touching, is watching MJ and Papa C. be g-parents. They are wonderful with Drake. They have also been so kind as to put up with me this week. They're absolutely amazing.
Well, I should be off to VBS. I am helping out with 2 & 3 yr. oldds again this year. At first, I was not too excited, but the kids are so sweet and so enthusiatic to learn about God's word.
