Today I had my next follow-up with Dr. Schwartz, my oncologist. It went wonderful and I'm still good to go! I go back in 4 months. It's hard to believe it has been 2 1/2 yrs since diagnosis and 2 yrs and 2 months since I finished chemo. The dr. and I were talking how nice it was that I was actually able to finish my chemo early and didn't have to do the last 2 treatments. Wow, God is soo good! I can never tell you how good He is. I hope and pray that you can see how good He is through the life that I live.
Life has been pretty busy for our family this month. Mom's birthday was March 7th. Will's first birthday was the 14th, and KC was on Monday the 23rd. Also in just 2 weeks we're going to Gatlinburg as a family. It's going to be a super fun trip and I can't wait to go and spend time with them. I am truly blessed with the awesome family I have!!!
God is good!! ALL THE TIME!!! :)

May God..
I saw this tonight and I thought it was great so I wanted to share..
May God give you..
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
Enjoy have a great rest of the week!!

God's Love!
I've been attending a Ladies Bible Study for awhile now. I always learn so much at the Study, but wanted to share something we discussed last night, and really stood out to me. We are studying the book "Having a Mary Spirit, Allowing God to Change us from the Inside Out." by Joanna Weaver, I definitely recommend it.
The Chapter we discussed last night was A Fearless Beauty, talking about not having fear about what is going on in our lives basically. This verse was brought out in there. 1John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us." What a truth we need to stand on! The other thing that stuck out was talking about keeping us sweet. She says this "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him,"God promises in Jeremiah 17:7-8, "He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." I want to be like that! I want to be so rooted and secure in the Lord that even in times of burning stress and lonely drought, I have no worries. I want my response in difficulties to be full of faith, not fear. Instead of griping and groaning. I want to produce peace and joy.
That has become my prayer. It goes along with this song. "From the Inside Out, by Hillsong"

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Chorus
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out
