Day 17: God’s Light Shines Everywhere

Three weeks ago, I would never have believed all that has happened. Three weeks ago, my mom was on vacation at the beach. I would never have guessed that she had a large brain tumor growing in her head. You never know what will happen tomorrow. I cannot take one day for granted. Each day… Continue reading Day 17: God’s Light Shines Everywhere

Day 16: God Will Build Us Up

I went to see my mom yesterday. My kids got off the bus, had a snack, and we drove up to Baltimore to see my mom. It was quite a drive. It took over 3 hours to get there. We took detours through the park, on winding roads. We drove through neighborhoods with boarded up… Continue reading Day 16: God Will Build Us Up

Day 15: Thanking God For His Mercy

My mom had surgery yesterday. They removed 78% of the tumor from her brain. It went well. We were able to see her last night. She was smiling and talking. She said that she felt so much better and wondered how long she had the tumor. Out of all the possible outcomes, this was a… Continue reading Day 15: Thanking God For His Mercy

Day 14: We Wait

My kids started their first day back to school today. They were all smiles and excited for their new start to the school year. We are going to pick them up soon and go the hospital.

Day 11: Reality Is Setting In

It has been 11 days since my mom was to the hospital by ambulance. She is scheduled for brain surgery on Thursday. I am still processing that she has a brain tumor and what is going happen after surgery. I feel all the emotions. I am not even doing the logistical stuff. My brother is… Continue reading Day 11: Reality Is Setting In

God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

Last night, I watched the movie, "Breakthrough". Wow, it was an amazing testimony to the power of faith, prayer and God's almighty power. The movie was based on a true story and shows how God continuously works miracles in our lives, even now in 2019. Have you ever had a miracle in your life? I… Continue reading God Can Make The Impossible, Possible

Let Praise Renew Your Spirit

Yesterday and today, I have felt exhausted. Drained. I felt like I have not had the strength to move. What is wrong with me? I have been tired. It was a busy month, and I feel tired emotionally and physically. This was a new thing. I felt like a sack of potatoes, dragging myself from… Continue reading Let Praise Renew Your Spirit

Serve God With All Your Heart, Mind, and Strength

For the past month, we have had family visiting. It was so fun. Now, I am so tired. I prayed for each visit. I prayed that God would bless our time together and give us grace. I tried to be a good hostess, and it is not hard when everyone smiles and says thank you.… Continue reading Serve God With All Your Heart, Mind, and Strength

I was complacent to the Lord, but the Lord did let me stay that way

Do you know any people that call themselves Christians and go to church occasionally on Christmas and Easter? Know any of them? I do. I was one of them. I would say that I was Christian, but I didn't read the bible or go to church very often. I grew up attending Catholic schools and… Continue reading I was complacent to the Lord, but the Lord did let me stay that way

The Lord God Is My Strength

I love my kids so much. I think they are amazing. There are so valuable to me. I get deeply hurt when others do things to make them feel less than what they are. I tell them they are loved. Worthy. Valuable. Worth more than anything that money can buy. Their value is infinite to… Continue reading The Lord God Is My Strength
