Cancer Really???
Not sure what I was going to do.
After losing my job and while looking for another one I was able to work around the house finishing projects long ago started and cleaning up. My home was now becoming a place that I enjoyed being at. During those times, it was clear why I should get things done. And why I needed to be home. Because the best place for the kids was here with grandma on the ranch,during Becca's times in the hospital. I was also able to help with the kids while she was convalescing at home.My purpose became clear.
This news came just as I started here at WA which makes more the reason I need to be at here and work from home. Being available for this beautiful family obviously was mine and Gods priority.She is weeks past her last radiation, and now on the other side of a staph infection. She is in remission. Still dealing with the effects of the autoimmune disease. But improving every day.
Not always sure what Gods plans are.
There are times I must confess when we say ok Lord what are you doing. Then God reveals himself in the small things were we tend to think he is not there. While watching TV recovering from one of her extremely hard radiation treatments. My girl saw some yellow tulips. She then shared with the person with her. Look at those flowers aren't they beautiful.My son was at the store buying, groceries to bring home. When looking over and seeing yellow tulips, he felt like he should buy them for his wife. Now keep in mind he never buys flowers except for the festive occasions that men buy flowers. He really was not aware of her desire.
God know the desires of our heart.
You can only imagine the shock and the tears that came, when his wife realized that God brought her flowers. I believe that God knows our every thought, and his ways are not our ways. When we see a muddled mess, God sees his plan. Being here at WA and being available for my kids right now, is where I am supposed to be.Some people say that we see the back of the unfinished tapestry and God sees the magnificent finished front which is me and you
Not sure of all Gods plans, but one thing for certain I know he loves us.

What an incredible story. You're right, we can't understand God's ways, but we have to trust Him and keep our eyes on him, no matter what happens in our daily lives. My pastor said last week, that if we trust God, He will do things we can't even imagine.
I'll keep your daughter-in-law in my prayers.
I am a cancer survivor. I had a tumor and instead of the long name I will put it this way. It was a tumor right behind my earlobe. It was about the size of a marble when I went to the doctor. Found out it was intertwined in the muscles and nerves in the neck. I went through chemo and radiation for 6 weeks. It was not easy. I have a niece that is 21 years old and battled Hodgkins Lymphoma for the past year and a half. She is now in remission. Although, Hodgkins is one you have to watch out forever. I have a brother in Tucson who just had a lump taken out of his right lung and it is cancerous. I don't know when yet but he is going to have chemo and radiation. I understand that part of cancer.
In 2008, I was laid off from a job along with 7 others at the same time. I was an assistant manager at a medical office. One of the doctors was leaving and that is how they cut down on staff. I also had a part time evening job at the same time at a motel. Anyways, I did not understand at the time why this was happening in my life. I never questioned God. You remember how the economy was then. Thousands laid of daily. But....
But, my mother was 94 years old and the last year of her life I was able to spend the days and nights with her. The only time I left was to go to work 4 hours in the evening 5 days a week. I came back at 10:00 at night and she would be there waiting for me to come home. I would go and tuck her into bed like she was my child. I got to spend that last year with my mom and take care of her and have the most memorable time of my life.
Not until she died did I understand the why. God wanted me to have that last year with her.
I pray that your daughter in law will come through this with a vibrant and healthy life ahead of her. I will also pray that your family will have the courage and the strength to help her through this. I did say through this.
Your post brought a heavy load on my heart. I usually don't take up this much room on a post or reveal that much info. We all go through different obstacles in our life. But, the main thing I always remember is that when Peter was in the boat and walked out to meet Jesus he was fine until he took his eyes off of Jesus and was looking at the storm around him. Then he started to sink. The same with Daniel in the Lions Den. Your eyes are focused on Jesus I can tell and yes your are right he does love us.
I will be praying for you all and if you ever need anybody to talk to you can pm me or I will give you an email or whatever you need. God bless you all.
The best part of this are my kids are all great christian warriors.
There is so much of what God has done and what he is still doing that it would have been pages and pages long.
God sent a whole army to take care of her. Really I played a small part of this whole thing.
We also have nothing to fear, because, with us we have a whole army of angels by our side. God is good. Just like what he did in all the neat things you shared in your life.
Thank you so much for your support
I will keep you in my prayers

I am so glad she is now in remission, even so, things like this are always hard. I've lost so many people to cancer, family, friends, and even my first boyfriend, that was the first, and the hardest. It's never easy to see the people you love hurting, but God always does what's best for everyone, even if we can't see it at the time. I wish all the best for you, and your daughter-in-law.
Thank you Cindi, You know my feeling on writing at this time. So it was easier to share what is going on my life this way. Then try to explain it a person at a time.
A person told me that other people have experienced this also here at WA. I know there is comfort in numbers here, and sounds like understanding,and also prayers
Amazing story. Remember, if you need any help with anything, I and many other members are here to help you get on the path to success.
Honestly that means a lot thank you very much, Really the reason I wanted people to know, I felt bad that I had signed up for the webinar and I was looking forward to the hang out I missed them both I just wanted people to know why....and I am sure other times this may happen.
My father had Multiple Myloma cancer and he was uplifted by prayer. I'm glad he's still alive and that's an answer to my prayer! I would add that a fervent prayer can make a difference!
What I forgot to mention is that timing was a critical factor in his recovering. You can make it out early from some cancers and treat it, where as others, it is sad to say you can't. Every cancer is different.
Also, if you do have an untreatable cancer, or you know you have a certain time left, do things you always wanted to do. One of his coworkers did so and felt happy about it afterwards, even though he wasn't really suppose to do that!
Kymee, you really are a spiritually minded person with a nice way of expressing your faith. That's so nice that you can be there to help your loved ones. Hoping the best for your family. Robbie :)
I was told once by a very old nun, if that was what she was! (she wore the attire that nuns wore)
I thought I would ask her a question when I used to sell carpets waaaay back in the 80's and she happened on our carpet store.
I said "Just because people don't go to church doesn't mean that they won't go to heaven, right?" (my thought was there was good in all walks of life, so why should there be a special group that says so)
She said "people are going to surprised"!
i'm not religious, but I know there is a higher power out there for sure!
I wish your family extended health and happiness!

Thanks for sharing this touching story with us. Your family will be in my prayers. Whatever a committed believer may be enduring in this life, our Father will make it worth it all in the next.
You are right we should be storing are treasures in heaven.
