I had a Bad Day....

It's been a long time since I blogged, I actually had some "mechanical" problems with my blog. So I removed my pink background and huge family picture and now everything is back to normal. Or as normal get's in my world :)

Yes as my title says: I had a bad Day, maybe actually a few bad days...

On Tuesday while we were at Splashway as a family (lots of fun for familys by the way) my Dad called me to tell me that his test results came in showing he has cancer. So I did what all take charge daughters would do, I said okay Dad what's the course we are going to be taking to get rid of it. So we went to the surgeon on Friday and truly felt like two things were going on while we were in the room. 1.) That I was a balloon and the air was being let out quickly and 2.) After he shared the grim news that he was the teacher from Charlie Brown- I'm not sure how to spell but you know- Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa he told us sugery is not an option b/c he had the surgery 10 yrs. ago and has lived past the expectancy (news to me) and that radiation /Chemo can only help him prolong his life for just a little longer. We go to the Hemotologist on Wed. to see about the chemo/radiation treatment. So yes I have a few bad days...But two things I want to share for prayer is: 1st- I am unsure of my Dad's salvation so I am praying how exactly we are going to have this conversation next week and 2nd- All the cancer stuff- healing, etc. I know God has the power to heal and I am believing that he will should this be the path for my Dad.

Anyways, sorry the post is so long!

I know that you were invited to both of the showers, but please understand that there is no obligation for a gift and I completely understand that you couldn't be there. Hope you get to feeling better soon!! I will be praying with you!!
