Vicky,

God always answers our prayers. Not always in 'our way' or in 'our time', but with his own wisdom and knowledge of our needs. When I get so discouraged and feel that God may have forgotten me, it is then that I have to be patient and know that my father who loves me more than I can comprehend, has a plan for me.

I also had a wonderful loving Christmas celebration with my friends and family. Because this horrid disease makes us all realize our mortality, we looked at one another realizing the brevity of life. Our family is more open in demonstrating our love for one another. We just put old petty arguements in the closet and concentrated on this precious time we had together.

The apostle said, "When I am weak, I am strong". When we suceed in overcoming the darkness of this disease, the pain and heartache.....we are indeed stronger. When we are totally helpless and depend upon God for our strength, we are made strong. Your strength, Vicky, has encouraged me.

Hi Vicky, God does answer prayer.. I am so happy for you in fact for

all of us.

You have suffered so very much this past year you deserved a great

Christmas and a Great 2007.. I'm making plans for my decorations next

year..

 

Well, I made it, I asked God for 2 things this year, to see my baby get

married, which she did in August and to have 1 more Christmas with my

family. Well, my sweet daughter paid to fly my son and his wife up from

texas, and my ex daughter in law drove up from Alabama with my

grandbabies, even my brother parker and his family came over, it was

sooo crowded and hectic, wrapping paper all over, food all over, I'm

tired, worn out,exhausted and I loved every minute of it.... If I go

home tomorrow, I'm ready. This has been the worst year of my life, I

found out I'm terminal, saw the pain it caused my loved ones and the

pain it caused me. BUT.....it has also been the best year of my life, I

saw my baby get married, she was beautiful and that I'll treasure

forever, I saw my sister again after 8 yrs, my brother after 8 yrs, my

dad and I finally developed a real relationship and my Dad got saved 2

weeks ago, I've gotten so close to my brother , he is my rock

along with my husband. I truly have been blessed in this life. I don't

know what the future holds but I'll face each day as it comes, with a

smile and a thankful heart for all God's given me........

Dear Vicky:

I am so happy you had a wonderful visit with your family. But now is the time to start praying and working toward the next big family visit and quit talking about being ready to "Go Home". You need to plan to live, the other will happen when it happens. Remember the saying, " Life is what happens when you are making other plans"? How true that is. Continue loving life and living life and don't start cashing in your chips yet girl. There is still so much yet to enjoy.

Hugs,

Carolyn

Hi everyone,

Well, I made it, I asked God for 2 things this year, to see my baby get married, which she did in August and to have 1 more Christmas with my family. Well, my sweet daughter paid to fly my son and his wife up from texas, and my ex daughter in law drove up from Alabama with my grandbabies, even my brother parker and his family came over, it was sooo crowded and hectic, wrapping paper all over, food all over, I'm tired, worn out,exhausted and I loved every minute of it.... If I go home tomorrow, I'm ready. This has been the worst year of my life, I found out I'm terminal, saw the pain it caused my loved ones and the pain it caused me. BUT.....it has also been the best year of my life, I saw my baby get married, she was beautiful and that I'll treasure forever, I saw my sister again after 8 yrs, my brother after 8 yrs, my dad and I finally developed a real relationship and my Dad got saved 2 weeks ago, I've gotten so close to my brother , he is my rock along with my husband. I truly have been blessed in this life. I don't know what the future holds but I'll face each day as it comes, with a smile and a thankful heart for all God's given me........
