It has been quite a while since I have written anything, and I have alot to share! oh where to begin? well in January of 2020 James and I welcomed our 4th grandchild into our family, his name is Rhett and he just blessed all of us and now we are 2 x 2 meaning 2 girls and 2 boys what more could a Gigi and Papa ask for except for more littles (thats our name for the grands) but we will have to probly wait a while for that request to be filled.
I dont want to bore ya’ll with a bunch of family mush but these littles and their parents are a huge part of my life and one thing that I love to do is to go camping, so I want to share how God blessed us on June 18,2020 it was a week I will never forget.
Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart
I recieved one of the biggest desires I have ever had and that was to be the owner of a Motorhome, well James surprized me and sent our youngest son and his soon to be wife and me to Westlake Louisanna to pick up not just a motorhome but a Luxury Motorcoach, it was far exceedingly more then anything I could ever ask for! When we arrived we had only viewed it thru facetime and so to see it in real life was amazing. I was absoultly speechless what James had done for ME I really had no words, I knew that God was at work blessing us and our family. The Coach was in immaculant condition, it looked as if it had just rolled off of the showroom floor, as Hailey and I unpacked our rental car Rowdy finished all the details with the now previous owner and we hit the road I bet for at least 20 miles I said over and over “This is a true blessing from God and Thank you Jesus!” my zeal was over the top.
While the Pandemic was taking over everything I seemed to be having Blessing after Blessing happen and that was ok with me, My youngest son and his soon to be wife were planning their Wedding which was scheduled for October 9 , so there was alot of good things happening even tough everything was shutting down all of that pandemic mess didn’t seem to effect us. The wedding of course was absoultly beautiful, Rowdy and Hailey even were able to go to St Thomas for their honeymoon, God had everything in his hands and I never had a doubt.
On October 18, 2020 everything changed, I had been not feeling good for the last few days prior and all of my symptoms were rapidly getting worse I had been to the Urgent Care the day before and they couldnt do anything except give me something for nasua and tell me I needed to go see my gastronologist and that wasnt going to help me on a weekend. James decided on Sunday October 18 to take me to the hospital ER, when we got there they immeditily admitted me and they soon after determined that I had a Bowel Blockage and that was only the beginning of was was to be my 1st reoccurance of the dreded Ovarian Cancer, which I found out after 4 days in the hospital.
I will say that James was able to stay with me during my hospital stay and for this I was so thankful, I knew in my heart that God had total control I really wasnt worried or scard I honestly was more angry that I had to deal with this again and go through treatment. I knew in my heart that this reoccurance was contained and that this was only the enemy tring to take from me again, God had just blessed me and James with a New Grandson and a Motorcoach and a new beautiful Daughter in Law and I knew we had LOTS of camping trips with our grandkids we had to take.
November 5, 2020 I got my port put back in and started my treatments a few days later. This round I was only going to have 6 monthly treatment instead of 18 weekly treatments and I wasn’t going to loose my hair like i did the first time around, although I did loose about half of it i didnt have to sport a bald head again. About 2 weeks after starting my treatment My Daughter in Law and I were taking James and the boys lunch out to the job and as I was driving I started to see burst of light, I thought that my contacts were just being weird but what was really happening was my Retna was detaching. I can remember it was like my eye was filling with a fluid( this is wat I was seeing) I finally called my eye doctor about 4 days later because it was getting worse, when they saw me i will never forget the look on his face, he was floored I still had any vision left (Thank you Jesus) what I didn’t know was that when your Retna tears usually you only have hours before it totally detaches, so my eye Doctor got me in with the Retna Specialiest ASAP and within 24 hours of seeing him I had surgery to re attach it.
I will say that it has been a challenging year, but what I want to share is that if you just hang on to Jesus he will carry you through the storms and will Bless you on the other side, his word gurantees that but its never without a journey, I have always said to my self “persucution brings perserverance” the bible tells us that when troubles of any kind come your way,consider it an oppertunity for great joy. For you know when your Faith ios tested, you endurance has a chance to grow. James 1:2-3 My vision is even better then it was before and I am Cancer Free Thank You Jesus!!! I want to share my heart and my Love for Jesus because without him I wouldnt be here telling you my story
