It's LIMBO time! Ole!!!

Last month, from May 18-23th, it was finally time for the Leader's Circle trip I had won at our company's annual meeting. While in Mexico, we went to Chichen Itza, swam with dolphins, sea lions, and manatees, I laid by the pool, and we boarded the Jolly Roger for a fun dinner pirate cruise. It was fun getting to know some of my co-workers better and get away from the craziness of life.

But as with all vacations, you need return to reality. Unfortunately, my reality involves taking a small pill everyday called Tamoxifen in hopes that it continues to zap the teeny, weeny spot on my lung and praying I will have none of the nasty (possibly life-threatening) side effects. Of course, as the day draws closer for my next oncology appointment, so do my doubts. Is this pill working? Was the last test just a fluke? Will I still need more chemo? Then I pray and remember that it is ALL in His Hands. This song from Hillary Scott is also a good reminder.


So ... when doing the limbo, you must go low to get under the obstacle. When you are doing the CA125 limbo, you also want your number to be low. Lower than 35 is considered normal. As I waited for the doctor yesterday, I just kept praying, and hoping, and thinking lower. And to my delight ... the number was 51!!! Down 39 "points" in six weeks!!! Praise the Lord!!! So here's Shemika Charles, a limbo expert, as she auditioned for America's Got Talent several years ago. She's doing my "happy limbo dance."


Thank you for your continued prayers & encouragement. Love & hugs to you all!!!

Pray for my next appointment on July 18. Pray that my CA125 would again be down.

Pray for the Lord's guidance as I write & develop the lessons for the kids during our church's summer program. 

Pray for time to continue developing my book idea. 

Only by His Strength,
