Cancer is the plague of us all...

So you may know but you may not, let me start at the top.
First off, I am getting personal, one of my New Year resolutions, to go deeper but we shall see how that goes..

My mom, three years ago had cancer, it wasn't anything dramatic it was just thyroid cancer.

A little gathered cancerous tissue nothing much.  She was under six hours, unlike the scan she took it

was golf ball sized and tangled with her vocal cords and lymph nodes. 

Thanks be to God they got it all out and she was able to come home the same day.

 There are many ways to balance your thyroid and it is a important part of your body. 

Botox injections were an option as was radiation but she took the homeopathic way.

She couldn't talk for awhile, had to eat soft foods and had to take a lot of different medicines but she

began to gradually get better.

 Or so we thought.

A month ago she had another annual checkup and the doctors saw something they didn't like, they told her she should get a radioactive treatment done. 

So she started Tuesday and had to take a shot. She had a bad migraine. 

Yesterday she took the radioactive pill.  The most you can have is like 30 RADS she took 15 RADS. 

Nothing too bad.  She began to have a burning in her stomach and she didn't sleep much.  Today is the day of the test to see if there is cancer.

  I haven't been able to see her because she can radiate to us.  So please be in prayer for my mother as she is going through this hard time. She will need every prayer to get her through this. 


I had cysts on my kidneys when I was little, when I was seven one of them doubled and tripled in size.  If it exploded then I would most likely have kidney cancer.

I couldn't hold anything down, it was a scary time.  I was scheduled for surgery and with my American Girl doll by my side I was rolled into the surgical room. 

A nice man told me to hold a mask up to my face.  Knowing this was going to put me to "sleep" I wanted to ask a question.
"Can my dollie stay with me while you get it out?" He smiled and said she wouldn't leave the room.

 I breathed into the mask and I remember falling into the doctors arms.

 Now that I look back on it- that was a pretty stupid question. But then again I was seven.

Cancer of any kind is scary.  I didn't have a serious cancer, thank God, like breast cancer or leukemia.

 I feel badly for the people who have things worse off then we did.  But pity doesn't make anyone feel any better.   Pity just leads the person to depression in my opinion..

So if you are out there and you are going through a tough time with a sickness, genetic disorder or cancer I will pray that you will be cured.

 I know you'll make it because if I know you, you are a fighter and we need more of those people on earth.

 So push on.  Show this cancer you don't mess around.

Have you or a loved one gone through cancer?
How are you or the person doing today?

and here is a totally random question..

Did you wrap all your Christmas presents yet??
Merry Christmas everyone!

To watch or not to watch LotR???

So I have been curious about the LotR movies. Faith @ Faith
Gray @ Grfay Marie
Say it's awesome but they have yet to watch it/read it
Ivy @ Ivy's blog
And someone I know gave a reason why not to watch it.. the is a friendly debate so please join in the more the merrier.

So on the opposing side, a person who shall not be named said something along the lines of how dark LotR was.. It is filled with Orks, Goblins, Fire Demons and many things. Sure they are exciting but filling your head with demons isn't exactly the best thing to do..  In every book or movie it's always dark vs light, evil vs good, it's just the level of how dark the evil is..
Now what is your opinion on this??  I would like to know:)

That's life *sings song*

So life........
Everyone knows how it goes...
You get caught in this cycle..
You get up, eat, brush teeth, wash face, eat, do devotion, school, possibly blog, write eat lunch if you haven't already, do more school, dinner time, shower, read possibly watch a movie and go to bed... Repeat...
Sound familiar?
Is this cycle good?
We humans are so predictable.. Just this past Sunday our new youth pastors fiance asked me, "Which pew do you sit in?"
And then it hit me... we sit in the same pews, say the same things, even eat the same things..
When we do the same things we don't get out of our comfort zone..

Now I am gonna get a bit personal here.....
I am almost done taking a Evangelism class and I am supposed to walk up to complete strangers and tell them about God...
Me: *tries walking up to a person and walks away them staring after me**
*goes to the same person 5 minutes later* "Hi......."
Person looks at me crazy..
*nervously examines their shopping cart*
Uhhhhh......
Yeah, that's me...Is that you? What's your reaction?
I can do it on the internet easily but in person... *gulps*
God says we need to spread the word....
It's just a matter of stepping out of your comfort zone and diving in the pool.. not dipping your toes in first (hey out there to the toe dippersXD)
So dive! I'll will be there with you;)
