This is my fight song πŸ‘šπŸŽ—πŸ€°

Over the last 8 years, every 2-3 years our family has gotten rocked. Losing our first daughter, Berkley, at 3 days old was devastating. Three years later we were blessed with our rainbow baby Sadie! Three years later we lost our son, Henry,  at 7 days old. With no intention of trying to expand our family, 2 years later I have been given a breast cancer diagnosis and am also pregnant again. We are praying diligently for our sweet rainbow boy Isaac. God has blessed us through each loss and we will continue to praise Him during these uncertain times. God is good, even when our circumstances seem impossible.

Praising God when things are good is easy but praising God when things are uncertain is tough, real tough. If we only praise God in the good, we lose the blessings of trust and faith that relying God is all about. Seeing and feeling God move in every aspect of life, good or bad, reveals so much about Gods character and I don’t want to miss a moment of knowing more about Him!





Round 5 — NEW DRUG

That last round of the Red Devil kicked my tail! I am so thankful to be done with that and eager to get to feeling better! 
Today is round 🀚🏼 and I start a new drug. Praying for minimal side effects!
Let’s kick it! 5/16

David Isaac Simpson

“Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?” Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.””
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18:10-14‬ ‭

“Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21:1-3‬ 

Meet David “Isaac” Simpson...Because “is anything too hard for the Lord” ❤️

Round 3



Set-Back

Well y’all, yesterday should have been round 3 of chemo...but my body had other plans. I had to spend the weekend at Hotel Floyd due to some crazy pain I was experiencing. Good news is they got the pain under control, bad news is there is so much going on with my treatment plus pregnancy it is pretty much impossible to pin point the exact cause of the pain. It was a pretty frustrating weekend but we are staying on track and chemo will resume next week. #BC&PREG #wegonnabeatit
