We are still bathing in the glow of Hawaii.
Wallowing in the warmth, surrounded by the lush green and gorgeous beaches, was nothing short of divine. The break from our state's frigidity was a TREAT and after 2012's wild tilt-a-whirl ride, it was so incredibly needed. I told my hubby after a few days of sun: "I can feel an almost physical shift happening inside of me. What IS that?"
It took me a bit to realize that this is what rediscovering our equilibrium felt like.
We drank in the family time, and every thrilling discovery we made along the way. Turtles, lava tubes, geckos, fantastic snorkeling - ahhhhhhh. It was perfect. Here's some photo awesomeness:
"Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.'"James 4:13-15
This week I'm going in for an MRI and maybe CT scan. We're hopeful for continued good news - I pray that if it's God's will, my life will be long and cancer free. I have many ideas for fabulous slumber parts for these girls, and momma-daughter shopping trips! I'm thanking God for His continued grace-filled provision along the way, and will post the results of my scan the same day I get them myself.
So, so happy for you, Rebecca!! My mom is still really struggling ... seeing these amazing photos of healing and joy really gives me hope!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, thanks for sharing. And thanks for sending the postcard! Love you girl! MUCH MUCH LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, wimmin'! It was a powerful, beautiful thing to be standing in the ocean every day - celebrating God's ongoing handiwork and plan, and of course, being D-O-N-E with chemo, surgery and breast cancer. I highly recommend it to any and everyone who has been through or may go through these kind of trenches. I felt a soul-deep, "oh yeaaahhhhhhhhhh."
