Deedaloos: HOLIDAYS & SNOW MAKE GREAT FAMILY FUN
check out Kim's post (click on words above) with pictures of cutting down our holiday tree with her family and the kids making cookies at her house one day during vacation while I had to go to radiation. I am so blessed to have amazing friends to see me and my family through this trying time of cancer.

What cannot be shaken may remain - Hebrews 12:27
I haven't fallen off the earth...although I've had moments when I wish I could. Well...maybe just crawl into a hole for a few days...
Storms, cold temperatures, kids being on vacation for 2 weeks, a toddler with a horrible cold, holidays and daily radiation have kept me away from cyberspace. I also hate to post without a picture...so here is my image today...it represents my state of mind and body...cold and vacant
what an amazing visual design?!?!?...a play of light and dark....it's hard to tell how deep the cover of snow is...a thin crust of ice get's formed on top...
We as people do this...cover our true selves up and then develop thick crusts to protect our tender hearts. Our humanness often blows with the wind and our moods, tricking others into seeing what is and is not there.
I am comforted by the Hebrews passage, "what cannot be shaken may remain" (Hebrews 12:27). I want to be steadfast in my faith...choosing forgiveness and seeing what the eyes cannot see, choosing to find the light...but knowing that with the Grace of Christ Jesus all will be worked out.

I do struggle with patience though. *sigh*
Here is a pic of the kids on Christmas :)
And here is a pic of Sara with her new AG Julie doll...in her custom boutique made to match Gymboree doll clothes from MaPetiteChou.com
She loves being "same-same" with her doll!
Too cute!
And the fact that Julie has butterfly underwear is actually jump starting her potty training again...hooray!
I'm going to try to get a picture of me and my "long" hair...it's about 1/2" to 1" long now...
radiation has me exhausted but thanks to my church's meals ministry I am able to eat good healthy meals with the kids through the week. It's a wonderful gift these meals...I'm down to 115 pounds now and want to stop loosing weight and maybe try to put some pounds back on.
My skin is irritated, itchy and very sore...2 1/2 more weeks to go of daily treatments...then time to heal...and breath a sigh of relief that most of the treatment is over.
May the strength of Jesus help you all through your struggles...I say with confidence that He is my savior, God bless.
