I woke up this morning in a major funk. My oldest was late getting ready for school, my coffee had not quite woken me up and I couldn't drag my four year old out of bed for anything. We finally left the house, me with my pajama pants still on, my four year old, thrown over my shoulder asleep, coffee in one hand trying to finagle the door closed with my foot. I let my oldest lock the door and off we went. I turned on the ignition only to realize I was out of gas and forgot to fill up last night. Sheesh! When we rolled back into the house after taking her to school, I came in and grabbed breakfast and then went to grab my phone to return emails and phone calls.....couldn't find my phone. STILL can't find my phone. I spend the entire day LOOKING for my phone. Somewhere between the chaos of getting in the car, getting gas and driving to school my brand new, un insured, iPhone 4s disappeared and my "find my iPhone" app can't find it. I think I shed a few tears and I definitely wasted an entire day but I came back to reality that it's just a phone. It can be replaced. The Lord swiftly put me back on the ground and reminded me of how wonderful it is to even have these "normal" chaotic days.
My friend Summer who is being treated for cervical cancer just recently had her pet scan. The news was not what we had hoped but we are still trusting God for her full recovery. The tumor in her cervix was gone but she had 8 new ones in her stomach, one under her c section scar, one on part of the liver and several elsewhere. Her doctor is still very positive about beating it and they started their new course of action today with new chemo meds.
These things have consumed my mind for today so in lieu of posting my favorite makeovers, I am posting again the picture of my friend Summer and asking that you please pray for her and for complete healing in her body. I also ask that you lift up her precious young children and her husband Jeremy. Y'all, I love this girl so much and my heart hurts thinking of the pain that she is in. Thank you for joining me tonight in lifting this precious family up to the Father.
Restored It Wednesday will be back to normal next week. I still want you to link up your project today.
Grab a button and link up something that you have made look better than it did before. Have fun!
Praying and sending positive energy to your friend Summer and her family!!!! You are right, there is so much more to life then a phone, but it can still drive you crazy ;) I hope that Summer is cancer free soon.
Sorry to hear your day was not a good one. Whenever my day begins this way I always stop, pray for tranquility and a clear mind and then it all begins to clear up. I will pray for your friend.
I am so sorry to hear about your friend, that it is not going in a positive direction. We will be praying for her and her healing. You are a such good, sweet person and she is lucky to have someone like you in her life. -K
I am lifting Summer and her family up in prayer right this minute. God is good and anything is possible through him. Summer is blessed to have a friend as sweet as you. Best Wishes and Blessings, Amanda
Prayers have been lifted for your friend Summer and her family as well as for you... it's tough to see good friends go thru these things...May God Bless you ALL!
Lifting you, Summer and her entire family up in prayer right now. Summer is so beautiful. It scared the crap out of me when I saw her picture fill my screen. We all know God can heal her, praying that is his will!! Blessings to each of you, Shelly
i've been reading summer's story (even peeked on caring bridge) and praying/hoping for her. really, truly, there is so much hope that she can beat this. my dad was given a grim diagnosis when dr.s found a malignant/inoperable brain tumor in february--beyond rare!--and he's on his 5th chemo treatment & getting better each day. she's blessed to have good friends to carry her through such a challenge.
Praying for Summer and her family. I know God is the great physician but I do pray for all the health care givers and that they will know exactly what to do. I'm also praying for you, it is heart wrenching when someone you love is suffering.
