Radiation here we come!

Radiation started today...

Nerves, fears, unknowns, all the things...but very appreciative of all the prayers and text I received today! 

And thank you Jennifer for helping me feel completely comfortable!

Days are so long...

2020 has been just plain hard, y’all.

Getting a Cancer diagnosis is hard.

Moving to a tiny apartment is hard. 

Chemotherapy is hard.

Pregnancy is hard. 

Virtual learning is hard. Real hard. 

Politics are hard.

Surgeries are hard.

Newborns are hard.

Most days I’m overwhelmed with the lack of space, crying new born, constant mess, and hard to keep focused 5 year old..but not today. 

Today I see a tiny space, a cluttered kitchen table, virtual learning, a resting baby, and my heart is absolutely full. 

It may be all we have right now, but it’s just enough.

Not my plan, but His.

ONE MONTH

Hi 👋🏼 y’all..Isaac here. I am ONE month old today! 😳 Can you believe it? 

My favorite thing to do is look at the Christmas tree and grunt! 🎄🙄

I’m sooo loved by all my people ESPECIALLY my BIG sister! ❤️

My daddy calls me Zeke and my mommy doesn’t like it very much. 😒

I’m finally in newborn diapers and clothes! Yay! 👦🏼 

Other than that, I just sleep, eat, and poop. 😴 🍼 💩 

Happy One Month to me! 

Also, Sorry my mommy didn’t iron my picture blanket, she doesn’t sleep much. Idk why...

Also-update: notice my elf ear...my crazy mama ordered me an elf outfit for Christmas

Less Sugar...2020 wrapped up

On Jan 1, I made a post about my word/phrase for 2020. “Less sugar”...less of me. I don’t remember the details or exactly how I felt when I made the post, and although it was a phrase I felt strongly came from the Lord, it’s safe to assume that my controlling self thought I could choose what would be “less of me”....ha, funny.

2020 has been the toughest year of my life. I have been challenged in every aspect but ask me I’ve ever felt more held by God...

The answer is no. The circumstances of this year led me down some dark paths and they could have kept me there...BUT GOD. This year has also been full of incredible high places. God has had full control of the circumstances of this year. He never lost control, no matter how hard that devil fought me. Fear has been a constant battle but God has given me such a peace through the journey. I’m not saying fear wasn’t prevalent, but I walked in confidence because of the peace God gave me. That true peace kept me in pure joy despite the circumstances.  Granted the bad days were there but the peace and joy from God kept me from drowning in the dark those days.

True peace and joy can only come from the Lord. That peace reveals that God is good even when circumstances don’t feel good. Feelings might cause us to believe a “good” God wouldn’t allow the harsh circumstances that are inevitable during our time on earth. Thanks be to the Lord we don’t have to let our feelings dictate our reactions or our knowledge of who God is.

•I have completed chemo.

•We have a healthy baby boy at home.

•God is good. 

•Thankful is an understatement.

Sister. My heart is complete.

Home. We are home.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him— Isaac.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21:1-3‬ ‭

We are home. 

Isaac is home.

And as we stared at nothing but a blue curtain, we heard the most beautiful healthy baby boy cry.

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
