All our operators are busy.....

Well, not the appt. i was expecting.
It's never comforting when a dr. comes in and says there is good news and bad news.
in fact when i go back to med school i am going to make sure that i never say that to any patients .
Right after i finish law school, win a nobel peace prize and write a best seller.

goods news- we think it might be a cyst
bad news- the density isn't appearing as a cyst would
Tell her what she wins Bob...
A brand new breast biopsy

So instead of getting a definite answer about the lump,
( i need to think of a better name for it like Norman or Rodrigo)
I got hurry up and wait.
All our operators are busy...
approximate waiting time is 2 weeks...
Please continue to hold...
Your boob is important to us.

Back to Matthew Gospel I go.
or maybe i'll detour into Philippians.
do not be anxious about anything
but through prayer and petition with thanksgiving
present your request b4 God
and the peace that passes all understanding
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus

AAHHH
Okay, much better.
get thru today.
2morrow will take care of itself.
Carpe Diem
Live in the now
ummm... that's all i got.
any other catchy phrases will have to be forthcoming.

Program interruption

You know how you'll be watching your favorite show and the network breaks into the program and ruins the football game, or the series finale?
You had been looking forward to watching this show all week and now everything comes to a halt until you find out what was so dang important.

I had a life program interruption today.
Advanced medical imaging called.
Need a more extensive mammogram & breast ultrasound
THIS THURSDAY!
Seems very soon for something not serious.
STAY CALM
regular programming will resume shortly.


I live with 2 worriers
I know how to handle their worries
I even pre-marked passages in Kenna's bible before i gave it to her as a gift.
MATTHEW'S GOSPEL
don't worry about tomorrow
flowers and birds don't
God loves them and takes care of them.
How much more does he love me?

Get through today first.
It is like when you were a kid.
One of your teachers gave you a quiz
It had all these ?'s and at the top it said
Read all the instruction before completing this quiz.
the last line of the quiz said
write only your name at the top of the paper and turn in the quiz.
That is what I going to remember.
I'm not going to jump ahead and worry about what-if's
WAIT!
get all the instructions before panicking.

Sunday

missions sunday at church today.
amazing young adults
so much trust and passion for their God.
willing to stand out.
aching for the lost.
faith for God's provision and
what He will lead them into.
my insufficiencies glare into my soul.
older in my faith but so young in my trust.
so immature in my sacrifice.
so selfish in my evangelism.

I know i serve in my own way
serving my family
evangelism of my kids & their friends
but is it enough?
do i really challenge myself for Christ?
Less of me More of You , Lord.

worshipping with my kids at Family celebration blesses me.
The excitement, fun and joy is what God intended our
spirits to feel when we unite with our Christian family.
forget about decorum and appearances.
jump for joy.
shout and sing.
Blow giant bubbles with hubba bubba for God :)

Blog Beginnings

this is a new medium for me. i don't see myself as a writer or one who has a need to document my life in pictures or words , but after seeing that this is a easy way to journal, and journaling is something i have wanted to develop as a habit, i thought i would give it a go.

life is crazy but also fulfilling.
the mom tornado engulfs me
i see endless road that i must drive
dropping kids here and there
never quite caught up with any one thing

then the hugs come
smiles during the drive
laughter
kids singing HSM2 at the top of there lungs
confessions of problems in their lives
easier to share when heads are facing forward
watching the road

Today Graham is bummed
Kenna and i recall a man we saw peeing
out in the open the day before
GROSS
graham pipes in
i miss all the good stuff
all the dead animals on the side of the road
all the guys peeing
the boy brain is a hilarious mystery to me
