Prelude

I had found a lump and with the lump a suspicion.   But only that; a lump and a suspicion strong enough to urge me to get it checked out.  This has already occurred once back in January of this year but all results came back with nothing to worry about.  So I wasn't too worried after I had an ultrasound done to my breast.
I had gone to bed (late like usual) and the house was asleep.  I curled up next to my husband and began to pray.  'Right here, right now,' I remember thinking, ' my life is perfect.  Loving husband who I love so much, four wonderful amazing and healthy children, healthy parents and mother-in-law, lots of awesome family members and friends, a home....  life is perfect.'

The next day, the Juravinski Centre called me and I immediately thought of my prayers.  But yet, life still feels perfect.  Not because cancer is something I want (not even close!) but because we are still surrounded by so many loving and amazing people and because God is still here.  He is my guide and I feel Him carrying me through this.

This blog is dedicated to all those who have been contacting our family.  I cannot keep up with the phone calls, emails and texts...so you can find updates here.

Paul and I and our children thank God for you all.  Your prayers are keeping us buoyed on those days when we feel like we are sinking in despair.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.  Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way....."  Psalm 46:1,2a
