I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I blogged last until more than a few people have mentioned missing it. I’ve been tired most evenings, when I’d normally write, so it’s been put off longer and longer. Each day is full, especially with homeschooling. If it isn’t school then it’s medical appointments (and most…… Continue reading It’s Been Awhile

Please excuse the photo mess up. My site isn’t working properly and I can’t figure out how to fix it. But wanted to get this out. As I sit to write this blog, I’m utterly exhausted, but in a beautiful blessed way. We just returned from a week at Kejimkujik National Park. The way this…… Continue reading Blessings Abound

Over these last few weeks after I shared my anger, sadness and frustration, God has lifted the veil of darkness most days. I still do and probably always will have days and/or moments that darkness descends but the light prevails. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. Ecclesiastes 7:3…… Continue reading Refinement

I know I’m extremely happy with the increased daylight. Having supper and children doing outside evening chores with daylight is wonderful! But…… Continue reading JOY in the Darkness

Two years ago I honestly didn’t know if I would be ringing in the new year of 2023. I had no idea if my newly diagnosed stage IV cancer would respond to treatment. Of course we know it did. We know I’m still here. The five-year survival rate for stage 4 breast cancer is 22…… Continue reading Welcome January 2023!

December has been a mixture of precious family time and making beautiful memories together and just sadness. My most favorite moments this month have been in the calm, in the quiet, in the together. God overwhelming blesses us. I can not and will not deny that absolute truth but I feel like I can’t catch…… Continue reading Just Breathe….

To be absolutely honest, that’s how I’ve felt over these last few weeks. Completely defeated! Why? You may ask. Warning…..vent ahead! * My routine CT was last Thursday.
