Grace!

So I am feeling overwhelming grace today! God's grace is sufficient! Wow! Of course, lots of people at church asked me how Mom is doing. It is so amazing to me. She has had two weeks of chemotherapy and two days of radiation treatment. The only side effects she has had are she is tired. That is it! I know that could increase greatly, but that seems amazing to me. God's grace is sufficient!

In early November, my cousin Becky came (with her daughter and best friend) for the weekend so that we could go to Women of Faith. We loved it! And plan to go again next year. We just have to decide which city. We enjoyed each of the speakers. I think probably the message that stuck with me the most was from Patsy Clairmont. She told an amazing story of her son's illness and brush with death two years ago punctuated by these three statements. People Matter! Prayer Matters! Change Can Be Good! I knew it was important while sitting in the arena, but it stuck with me. One month later when this journey began those words ran through my head. I repeated them to people at the hospital. Who knew God's grace would give me those words, those thoughts when I needed them most.

Prayer Matters! I know that lots of people are praying for my mother. I mean lots! I know lots of people are praying for our family. I know that sometimes I feel like that is what is holding us all up. Thank you! Thank you!
