Matthew 21: 12 ---Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
I was reminded of this passage of scripture the other day.
Just like Jesus throwing out the bad guys out of the temples, this is what my surgeon did for me.
He went in and threw out all the bad guys (Cells) out of my body.
More then one doctor has told me that when they read the pathology report that I did myself a huge favor by going ahead and doing what we did now. Had we let it go, I would have been in for a long hard haul later. Had I let them develope and get bad I would have been one very sick person.
Therefore, I am thanking God daily that we caught things at a very early stage and threw them out of my body.
What God has in store for me in the future, I do not know yet. But, I do want to be open to God's leading in what he wants me to do.
I know I am very grateful that I have been given this chance to live a longer life and enjoy my grandchildren and be of service to others. Be it making prayer shawls for the ones that were and are not as fortunate as I was to catch things this early.
GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!

Difference two weeks can make.
This photo was taken around Oct. 8, 2011
And two weeks later Oct. 22 the tree is bare.
Let's me know that winter is just around the corner.
People who know me ---just know I love pretty scenery pictures.
But I am not ready for winter to come yet.
Hard to believe- only one friend on facebook
Know this lady because she works at a place that we here at Tica, Inc. have to deal with on a weekly basis. And I'm sure she was the one that requested me to be her friend. So why would I be her only friend? Good question.

Rest and fun.
Last Friday p.m. I took off and headed for Bloomington. I spent from Friday night till yesterday morning with the kids.
We don't have a baby to hold yet, but I was there in case they needed to leave in the middle of the night.
Kenley went to the sitters in the day but in the evenings this is a bit of our activity.
Here grandma, want another cup of tea? I am so excited, wonder what she will do when she gets her Christmas present and she has cooking dishes too. I am sure we will have hours and hours of fun then also.
Kenley went to the sitters on Monday and Tuesday and I had two whole days of rest, rest, rest. It felt so good to rest.
Yesterday I came back to Decatur and worked part of the day. 8:45 to 3 with a hour for lunch with my friend Judi. I ask Kim last night in a text if Kenley missed me....she said "Yup she ask for u"....that makes me know she too had fun with grandma while I was there.
Looking forward to more fun times with her in the future.
Today I went back to see the surgeon. He drained the one side...150 cc's of fluid drained off so that it made it more comfortable for me....ya... took some extra weight off plus it helped make it feel better. Once again he told me how that we had made the best decision ever in doing what I did when we did. (Cheating the big C out of it's place before it could take over).
I feel so Blessed and have to wonder what God has in store for me in the future.
How can I use my experiences to help others who may be going thru something similar. How can I be an encouragement to them?
I'm sure if I stop and listen--- I will find and see what God would have me do.

Grab a blanket grandma, and drag it on the floor and chase me round and round, or wait, I chase grandma.......one evening we played ring a round a rosie while walking that circle.
Or she would grab her teapot and pour another cup of tea. (hee,hee. this time she tried to pour it, but was actually pouring it back into the teapot.) She makes me smile!

A Long month, lots of things going on.
It has been a while since I have updated. And since I am at my daughter's house right now and not on my own computer. There will be no photos. But will try and briefly write what we have been doing this month.
Oct. 3, 2011 - I headed for surgery and my daughter hijacked my phone and facebook for the day. Keeping people posted as to how my surgery was going.
I am so blessed that all the bad cells were encased in my breasts and that we caught them before they turned into the nasty C. When the doctor read the pathology report, he told me that I was a very fortunate young lady, and that we had made the best decision ever in removing both breasts before this nasty stuff turned into full fledged Cancer. He told me that all the stuff that was going on in there, "They were having a convention inside there."
CANCER the same thing that my mother and sister died from. Hopefully I have cheated it out of taking my life for many , many years!
Pain....my pain tolerance is much stronger then some people. I had discomfort, but no real, pain, pain. The staples and the drains simply had to go last week. Now this week I get to go back and the doctor will physically drain it for me.
I am thinking of going back to work on Wednesday, at least for part of the day. I spent two weeks at home and Bud took very good care of me. Friends not only prayed for us but brought us food.
I actually feel real good, just get tired very quickly and have been taking lots of naps. I can reach above my head with both arms as no lymph nodes or muscles were cut. It will take me a while to get back to full force, but I do need to continue to train and teach Julie as much as I can before I actually get out of there for good at the end of this year.
Friday night I headed into Bloomington to spend the week end with my daughter and family. Since we are expecting a new grandbaby anytime now. Clay could rest a bit better knowing that there was someone here in case she had to go in the middle of the night. And Kenley would be well taken care of.
They still took Kenley to the sitters today--she is so active, and I do have to watch that she doesn't bang up into my chest as it is very tender yet. So the day here alone is a very quiet one. I shall look forward to her coming home this p.m. and enjoying more of my time with her.
In the mean while until I get back to my own computer where I can do some photos. I am THANKING GOD DAILY FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT HE HAS GIVEN TO ME!
