A pep talk to me

New sheets + a good word = a well rested night.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Health Update

Although I don't really have much to tell I thought I'd let you know how things are going. I went for my CT scan(s) last week. I don't remember them being as grueling the last time I had one. It seems the appointment was not made correctly...long to short, I needed 3 scans not 1. This equates to 2-1/2 hours of laying completely still in a tube with a sound similar to a jack hammer pounding next to my head and one huge migraine by the time I got out of there. For all my trouble I got a token CD with images of my insides. I was scheduled for a consultation with the doc this Tuesday but got a call today that it was re-scheduled to Wednesday. I continue to pray for peace and strength as well as perfect health. No matter what the tests say, I know that God is good all the time.

2009 came in with a bang...literally, our friend Tony brought a little cannon and packed it full of gun powder. I'm sure it shook every window in the neighborhood. Unfortunately I couldn't get any photos of that but here are a few of our gathering. We also lit a paper lantern thing that Jo had and it floated over the houses into the next neighborhood before it extinguished itself. Mike made some explosive chili and everyone else brought goodies to share. We played Wii, ping pong, and Apples to Apples. Michael Maher even played us a little music. It was an awesome way to bring in the New Year.

New Year's Eve 2009

Prepare for a miracle!

This is an image of a bone scan, not mine but I thought the illustration might help. The reason I posted this is because I recently had one and the results weren't particularly the ones I had hoped for. I think most know that I was healed of breast cancer 5 years ago. When I went for my annual exam I mentioned the pain I was having in my knees since May. Dr. Philip ordered a bone scan as a precaution with the assurance that it was probably mute and nothing to worry about. A phone call followed 3 weeks later that there is an "area of concern" in my mid-back and I will need to get a CT scan so they can get a better look at it. As if on cue, my back decided to "go out" on me and render me a couch potato for about 5 days. I have since re-gained my mobility, gotten prayed up and have peace over this situation. Mike and I will be heading to Farmington Hills for my CT Scan tomorrow. One can never have too many prayers so if you feel inclined to pray for me, PLEASE do so.
I will get the results on Jan. 6th when I meet again with Dr. Philip.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
