The Christmas Season is definitely in full swing for most of us. It has always been my favorite time of year. And now I just have so much to reflect upon that I'm almost speechless. :o) To think that 2 years ago I was in the midst of not knowing what was happening with my body. And now, here I am, to tell of the amazing miracles that have touched my life since then. I have been undeserving for all of it. And to know that He gave me all that AND His Son too!!!!....just makes Christmas that much more meaningful for me. I can only pray it is just as special for each one of you.
I finally got to the doctor today and am THRILLED to report that I 'officially' heard it from his mouth....I am still cancer free, NED, in remission....a survivor! There's nothing else that could top that. Thank you to all of you who have been so faithful in praying and giving me such great encouragement. I never get tired of letting you know that I just couldn't do it without you all.
And I will leave you with the latest from Barbara's mom. I have been so blessed by what is happening within Barbara's life. Please continue to pray. And be encouraged that God is alive and working and doing amazing things. Love to you all!!! Shannon
Dear Friends and Family,
Well, things are pretty much back to “normal” or what our normal has been the last few weeks. Barbara has gone back to the Detox program with a few solids here and there (like mashed potatoes). She is ready for “real” food but we’d really like to keep with the program and complete our goal here to get her healthy.
She did want to go somewhere today so I took her to get her eyebrows waxed! Then she wanted to go to Henry’s and pick up some natural organic hair color! And then when we got home she wanted to go to Target to do a little Christmas shopping. I said we’d do that another day- I was tired!! I’ll take these initiatives as feeling a little better! Ok – she just told me she wants some Red Robin French fries! I think it’s the steroids kicking in!
This last week has certainly been a huge leap of faith for many people. We keep hearing stories of people feeling led to pray at just the time we needed it most. Sometimes we weren’t even aware of any particular crisis and people would start praying so only the Lord knows what could have happened that was prevented by prayers – so keep those prayers going up!
We had some family here this weekend and it was such a blessing to be surrounded by our loved ones.
Barbara still giggles at just about anything remotely funny. But little Joshua can get her going better than anyone except maybe Mike!
Love, Kathy
