My Heart Feels Heavy...

 

My heart hurts, I cannot imagine what it feels like to be told that your daughter has brain cancer, then to watch her go through grueling treatments for an entire year, have a several clear scans, sing the "no more chemo" song and then suddenly on a routine scan the orginal cancer spots plus more are back. It makes you ask God WHY?? Why her, why now, why? why? why??  God is not a bad God. Everyone is put on this earth for a purpose and many people, who were sick, lost, dying have followed Kate's story and reformed their lives and now know Jesus and why he died on the Cross.... People who have never prayed are praying now, all because of Kate.  But as a parent, though her story is touching many, she is a daughter and a sister and a grand daughter. She has a future and her parents want to see her live it. 

I believe in Prayer. I believe God Listens and hears our hopes, and wishes and dreams and pleas. We had thousands praying for our daughter at one point and there needs to be hundreds of thousands praying for Kate.  He listened to our prayer.... He can heal Kate. Her parents need you to lift them up in prayer for strength and patience as they begin a whole new battle on a monster that is ravaging their baby. Close your eyes, hit your knees and PLEASE, please Please join me in praying for Kate. Please.

It's a Miracle.

I cannot believe ALL 4 kids are smiling. This is the first time EVER, that all 4 girls have been in a photo together, smiling!!!! Thank you lord! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Life with Francine & Molly....

So life with two new rodents isn't near as complicated as I figured it would be... They are VERY easy little pets. Not dirty, or stinky at all and super kind, loving happy animals and I truly think they love the girls JUST as much as the girls love them! They will just hold them for hours at a time, they don't run away. The cages are easy to clean.... I think I may be enjoyng them as much as the kids, which is scary-- I was nervous about these guys!

The dogs seem to do ok as well..... Its funny. Brandon pointed out that Molly looks like Sully and and Francine looks like Zoey....  no we didn't do that on purpose :)

The dogs just sit and stare at them. Occasionally they will whimper and "talk" to the Guinea pics and the guinea pigs squeak back...

Zoey is asking "Are we related??" :)
