Rejoice Always, Pray Continually

Well so far the treatment has not made me feel too badly.  I have been a little nauseous and tired, but nothing as bad as what I had expected.  We went to pick out wigs on Friday, and I was very impressed with the choices that they had.  My sister went with me, and we were both having a blast and cracking up trying on all theses different wigs.  I got two wigs, a blonde one and a red one!  Why not have fun with it right??  The lady at the store was so sweet, and she also gave me a long purple and white wig to give to Gracie, so hopefully that will help her to not be too freaked out when she sees me with a wig one minute and then no hair the next.  Please keep my sweet babies in your prayers.  I know it is really hard for them to be away from us temporarily, and that Gracie especially is old enough to know a little about what is going on.  I am just praying the God would protect her heart and comfort her.  I miss my babies so much.

The last few days have been a little hard.  Again, so many thoughts running through my head, and I have really been having to fight off fear and worry and discouragement.  There is a lady Jeri that I haven't even met yet, but a friend of mine put us in contact through email, and she has brought me so much encouragement.  She recently was also diagnosed with breast cancer and has sent me so many emails with devotions and scriptures.  Since this has happened to me, it has blown me away to find out how many people have gone through this.  It has been almost every day that I hear of another sister, or mother, or wife that has been through this.  Jeri recently sent me an email with her life verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  This experience has taught me so much already, and helped me to grow closer to God.  All of the time that I start to get scared and start to feel weak, I just draw in closer to Him, and I rejoice in where he has me today, and once again He brings me peace and strength and healing.

Thank you again to everyone for the prayer, food, emails, books, gifts, visits, etc.  You are all amazing and I love you.
