Wow! It has been a few days since I last posted and the time has gone by so quickly. To be honest, I just haven't had the gumption to put my thoughts into writing. My grandma was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma (cancer of the milk duct) and it really threw me for a loop. It hasn't even been two years since my mom passed away from metastatic breast cancer and it definitely wasn't the news that I wanted to hear. The good news is that it was caught very early! Thank God for mammograms! The doctor feels that it can be treated with a lumpectomy and in the worst case scenario a mastectomy. He won't know until he actually goes in to remove it.
It really made me think about my own mortality. I am so grateful to be a Christian. I know that no matter what happens the Lord is with me and that my home is waiting for me. I long for the day when I get to see my mom again. As always, the Lord's timing is amazing. I just joined an online Bible study on the book An Untroubled Heart by Micca Campbell which will be led by Melissa Taylor. Melissa's mother also passed away from cancer a couple of years ago and I immediately felt like this is the study I had been searching for. There are even online small groups through Facebook! I am so excited! If you click on Melissa's link you can sign up as well. All you need is the book and a Bible!
I have also been working on my Easter wreath for our front door. So far it looks like this:
I am really hoping that it ends up looking like my inspiration for it which can be found here but using spring colored scraps and some Robin's eggs. I will definitely post a picture when I am done.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by!
Love,
Elyse
