Choosing the Good Portion Series - Part 1
Choosing the good portion. - But then, the hope follows for us. Because we know that as Christians, we don’t walk through trials and suffering for nothing….but that God will use it for His glory and our good (Romans 8:28) and that He will also produce in us character, endurance and hope because of what we face (Romans 5:3-5). We have great hope since we serve the only One who can use all the awful things we go through to develop us and make us more like Christ.
Baby GIRL!
So, here we are, with a baby girl on the way almost 8 months after my initial journal entry. Not because we "deserve" it, not because we did anything right or prayed all the right things... but because this baby is a gift, and so He deserves to be praised. We are so grateful. We are so thrilled. And we can't wait to kiss her precious face!!!!

Podcast, Cancer, and a New Year!
This is my life now, and I had to choose whether or not I was going to allow the news to ruin me or build me. To be honest, I chose ruin at first. Had a pity party, felt the weight of the world, got sad...but then quickly realized how God was trying to build me and use me. So, I got on board :)
Thyroid Cancer : Part Four
Last week was my PET scan. What was supposed to be a 30 minute body scan turned into a 2 hour long appointment with multiple scans since they “saw some things” and wanted to be thorough.

Thyroid Cancer : Part Two
Surgery went well, even better than expected, and there was less cancer on the left side of my neck than previously thought. They removed my thyroid, 68 lymph nodes and all the cancer they could find.
