Sometimes it hurts to be a beautiful cripple!

Welcome to my life. I was diagnosed with polio when I was 15 months old but have had an absolutely wonderful and full life. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Wes and three beautiful children-Melissia married to Josh, Weslee married to Zach, and Marshall who will be married someday to someone just as fabulous. Weslee and Zach have presented us with the most beautiful and smartest grandchild in the entire world, Shiloh Celeste.
On Sunday afternoon, June 6, 2010 my world suddenly hit a brick wall when I found a lump in my breast. Life changing doesn't even begin to describe where my life would go next.

Heavens declare You are glorious

This place is incredible. Living in Midland we often forget about beautiful trees and miles and miles of hills and mountains. We are having a wonderful time, just being with family and enjoying each other.
I am in this beautiful home in the mountains in Ruidoso, NM looking out the window into beautiful trees and it is a slow drizzle and soft thunder. Of course we just had a round with the boys as they were determined to go mountain bike riding and it is storming. A crack of lightening hit at the same time the thunder and they all came running back in the house. Thanks God, You spoke at just the right time-they weren't listening to me. I had even told them that if they went I would be stressed the whole time and stress makes cancer grow faster and they would be killing me! Didn't work----hate to pull that card but nothing else was working. Sometimes men can be so dumb! Enough about that.
Sitting out on this porch for hours on end has given so much time for contemplating God in all His glory. So many songs have passed through my head and thoughts of thankfulness for healing over the past few weeks.
Psalm 46 1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. 7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 8 Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolation's he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire.10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 

If God can do all of this for His earth, just think what He can do for us the pride of His creation. I am confident of His protection from now until the end of this journey. I have an appointment with the oncologist on Aug. 4, hopefully we can move along on this. Look forward with anticipation to next steps.
God is good----------all the time! susan
