Survivor, Breast Cancer, Depression, Life, People, Opinions. 8220;No one saves u…. Two years ago today I was in surgery. And the first stage of reconstruction. I wore red toenail polish and hummed “The Best I’ll Ever Be” by Sister Hazel. As the nurse wheeled me to the surgery suite…I was thinking of mom, really wishing she had been here to talk to…I missed her hugs, her confidence everything would be okay (even if it might not be :) , her love. And who would be here to take this journey with me? I tried ...

Delighting In Grace: February 2012

http://delightingingrace.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 23, 2012. I know some of you are waiting for a recap of my time in Haiti (and for me to finally find time to post pictures on Facebook), and hopefully that post will. Get written (and pictures uploaded) at some point in the nearish future. Right now, though, how about an update on where things stand school-wise. How 'bout one picture to tide you over? Baby Raphael with big brother Emmanuel. Remember when I wrote about my decision. Is working out the plans for my life. He. Have to figur...

Delighting In Grace: season by season

http://delightingingrace.blogspot.com/2013/10/season-by-season.html

Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me. Morning by morning I wake up to find. The power and comfort of God’s hand in mine. Season by season I watch Him, amazed. In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways. All I have need of, His hand will provide. He’s always been faithful to me. Thankfully ( oh so thankfully. The "not so great days" have been much fewer and farther between than I'd feared. That's often true, I guess, that anticipation is worse than reality. In other happy news.

Delighting In Grace: January 2013

http://delightingingrace.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 14, 2013. Lessons from Christmas break. When we first arrived in Port au Prince, we were asked by several different people what we planned to do during our time in Haiti. Though we both had Haiti-related answers, such as spend time at Heartline and Notre Maison (me), work at Real Hope for Haiti (Paul), and donate blood (both of us), we also each stated that we wanted to rest; we needed. Way (Right. Because that's always super effective.). To an extent, I suppose I succeeded - but only on ...

Saturday, March 23, 2013. You were reaching through the storm. Walking on the water. Even when I could not see. In the middle of it all. When I thought You were a thousand miles away. Not for a moment did You forsake me. Not for a moment did You forsake me. After all You are constant. After all You are only good. After all You are sovereign. Not for a moment will You forsake me. Not for a moment will You forsake me. You were singing in the dark. Even when I could not hear. I was held in Your arms. Know, ...

Friday, May 31, 2013. UPDATED my summer in Haiti (and how you can help). With Alex and Guernise. Y'all, I am seriously overwhelmed and humbled by the generosity I've seen over the past few weeks in response to this post.

Your prayers and gifts encourage me more than I can say. Again, I am so thankful for the support each of you has shown. I am blessed. Trip ...
