Thank you LORD. June 6, 2010, marked three years since my surgery! I forgot to post on the blog - I was so busy graduating Anya, (we are over the hump now - 4 down, "only" 3 to go!!) and planning her grad party which we combined with July 4th, one of her favorite holidays. I am thankful for each kid's birthday, graduation, wedding or adoption anniversary, and each holiday and season that I get to enjoy, savoring each one as a "bonus"! All of them are things I felt I might not ever see when I looked forward three years ago. I know that all my days are in His hands, and I might not stay cancer free forever. But, maybe I will! :-) Either way, He is God!
And here is a miracle - we finally got the settlement from the truck accident!!!!! FIVE YEARS afterward, and much less than our losses from the accident, but at least it is OVER. Our new lawyer, Dennis Abrams, was great. A godly man, with integrity, which we appreciated so very much after the terrible treatment we got from our prior attorney who handled the case so badly. Anyway, we are through that valley now, and God sustained us. It was a hard, hard road, but, we did not lose our home, business or health insurance.... we had enough to eat although often not until the day we needed it! We have paid many creditors back and can breathe a bit now and begin to climb back the rest of the way! We are THANKFUL. Hopefully we have learned the lessons that God had for us, and are stronger as a result of the trials we have been through the last five years.
Thank you each so MUCH for standing with us through the storms of life! I am SO grateful for your concern for me and my family. Life here continues to be C R A Z Y - with 5 kids at home, aged 20, 19, 17, 14, and 12 that keep us BUSY - so please keep praying as we come to mind. We need it! :-)
Next scans end of August....... I will post in early September!
