This Little Light of Mine....

Well, it seems there isn't a simple or easy answer right now.

'Dr. Bobby'
Yesterday's biopsy confirmed a malignancy. The exact type has not been confirmed but Dr. Bobby was able to get adequate tissue and the pathologist is working to have it by Thursday morning when Rich and I meet with Dr. Heyer, the medical oncologist.   While this is not the information we were hoping for, I am very grateful to be moving forward, that the procedure did not hurt although the base of my skull is quite sore this morning. As well as having a sore throat and that no matter the diagnosis we will go forward with a positive attitude knowing that the Great Physician is working above it all.

God remained so faithful yesterday in His protection during my surgery as there was no additional compromise to the lung integrity.

Lilli had a great day at school, a great afternoon with the Hughes and a fantastic piano lesson where she along with the world's greatest piano teacher put together a more difficult piece - which Lilli had asked to learn.  Lilli was inspired to go after a more complicated piece after listening to her BFF, Ryann practice.  I think she's a keeper - Lilli and Mrs. Hughes!  She topped off the evening with a school night sleep over with Ryann!




Sweet Primrose had a great day with the wonderful Watson family!  It's amazing to me how every single need of ours is being met in a bigger and better way than anyone could ask for.  Prim enjoyed a good night's rest.

All Night Long....



But the icing on the cake for this momma me was that Owen had the best possible outcome from his court date. He has been granted permission to return to Asheville, NC to continue his treatment plan.  I believe the judge held him accountable as well as recognizing he is working hard with a good plan in place.  He has to come back in 90 days with progress report and proof of sobriety and being drug free.  He just left with Gregg, headed back to Asheville.  Be safe my sweet strong son!

My Peace is like a shaft of golden Light shining on you continuously. During days of bright sunshine, it may blend in with your surroundings. On darker days, My Peace stands out in sharp contrast to your circumstances. See times of darkness as opportunities for My Light to shine in transcendent splendor. I am training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate with Me in this training. Do not grow weary and lose heart.
John 1:4-5 AMP  In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]

Hebrews 12:3  Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

This verse was my elementary school "motto". We actually sang it everyday. It has been hidden in my heart. Thanks for the reminder to pull it out. <3

Praise God for the glorious news about Owen! I've shed quite a few tears of gratitude for this hoped for outcome. I'm praying traveling mercies for Gregg and Owen, and my prayers will continue that Owen can stay strong and stay the course of his recovery despite worry about you. He need only rely on His Heavenly Father. And what an example you are giving all of your children of doing this very thing! Donna, I am stunned by the strength of your faith and your gratitude in these hard circumstances. I'm humbled to be your friend.
