Praises and a Very Special Prayer Request

A very special prayer request...

As a mom, my heart breaks for a family who is part of our church community. Their beautiful almost four year old daughter, Tess, has been diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma and will be having surgery to remove a tumor and possibly the adrenal gland it is attached to tomorrow (Friday)at noon. I ask you to pray for this family. For Tess, her parents, her two sisters, and brother. This blog community has the power to change lives with it's prayers, please lift up Tess tomorrow.

Praises...

Driving for the first time in two weeks! Being able to hit the breaks before the car in front of me.

Getting to Bible study even if it was only for half the time and I didn't get all my work done. It was good to be there and good to see some friendly faces!

Having Mike's mom here to continue on with the laundry, the dishes, the vacuuming, and all those good things!

My daughter. She doesn't know how much I love her spunk and spirit and how much I know what the last weeks have done to her. My favorite quote of the day came from my eldest today and she looked me in the eye and said "I feel like a 30 year old in a 10 year old's body. My head aches, my back hurts, and lately it has just been crazy! It's time things get back to normal and I start feeling like an 18 year old in a 10 year old's body again. I've aged like 12 years in 2 weeks". Oh, I feel ya Lil!

Dax slapping his brother and then putting himself in time out...this is somewhat impressive!

My friends. how blessed...I never know what more to say. It was good to hang out tonight! Sarah, you have to do it again!

Starting to sneak a peek at normal life. Not that I'm totally sure what normal life is!

I am just so proud and laughing too that the lad would put himself in time out. HILARIOUS and wise at the same time! I am sending good thoughts to the family. I hope the little one comes out of this ready to play and be a kid.

I hope you are doing okay over there. I have been thinking of you!
