it's party time

Figured something cheerful on this blog was in order! Had a wonderful day celebrating Maddie's 3rd birthday party with pizza and cupcakes! The kids loved the indoor pool : ) Happy Birthday Maddie!! Aunt Angie loves you!

Something else that is worth giving a cheer for - my port is less sore today! YEAH!

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday! Have always loved celebrating this particular day, and this year it means even more! The night of my diagnosis as I lay in bed trying to get sleep (with no success!), the one thing that kept running through my mind was Psalm 23. This is a verse that I memorized as a young little thing, but that night only parts would come to me. So at 2 o'clock in the morning I got up and looked up the chapter. In my bible at the bottom it tells about the meanings of different chapters and verses - This is what it says about Psalm 23 - a profession of joyful trust in the Lord. I love this! Jesus is alive! If God raised Him from the dead then surely he can get me through chemo, surgery, radiation, and surgery again! Hoping everyone has a blessed Easter! Hope the Easter bunny finds everyone tonight!

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
