I would like to share a snippet of our life with you. I am hoping this will put a smile on your heart. As you know, Rebecca had beautiful red hair that went to the middle of her back. Radiation makes your hair hurt and then it falls out, so now she has a beautiful head with wisps of red hair growing back. She says occasionally that she misses her hair but she stands up straight, she smiles that gorgeous smile, and goes about her day with a positive outlook. Yesterday, Jennifer and I stopped by to see her for minute. Rebecca came out to Jennifer's car to chat and the most amazing thing happened. She felt the wind moving her hair. Now that was a precious moment! Isn't this what it is all about, a simple thing like the wind blowing through your hair.  

Big thanks to all who donated and showed up at the benefit rummage sale for Rebecca. A special thanks to Howard, Missy, and Banks - we could not have done it without you. Special thanks to Nita, the best neighbor anyone could have - you helped more than you know. And to Aunty Lou Lou - you already know!! Everyone who bought, who donated, who contributed, it is so very much appreciated and it humbles all of us, but especially Rebecca. She is in constant amazement at how loved she is. 

Well, this is the week. Rebecca will go on Thursday to have MRI and CAT scans. We are asking for all our prayer warriors to pray for her. We are going into this with our eyes wide open but we are faithful that God's hands are laid on her and we know his love surrounds her. It is going to be a rough week for me, I would be lying if I said otherwise. I have no problem being strong and doing what needs to be done for both of my girls, but this knocks me to my knees and leaves me breathless sometimes. This week is sure to hold that along with tears and fear. Jeremiah 29:11 is my go to verse and I will recite it many times this week for sure. That being said, this is going to be rough for Rebecca and Michael, for Jennifer and CJ - for our family. Please while you are praying for Rebecca if you could whisper a little one for the rest of my peeps, I would be grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless each of you.
