Coming Back

To God be the Glory

i don’t even know what to say. i’m not sure how to feel.  i thought this day would never come as 6 months ago, today seemed so far away. 


i continue to be amazed & grateful at God’s hand in all of this over the last 8 months. 


hopeful. terrified. joyful. scared. determined. productive. 


on repeat. 


God is ALWAYS GOOD. 


i’ve learned so much about myself, my creator, my family, and my friends.

- from day one when I googled, statistics, percentages, risks, all. the. things. 

God said to me “you are not a statistic”!

- I have missed mama & daddy so very much in this season. but i’m so so so thankful God protected them from seeing me this way! and I KNOW they have had a better view from their heavenly seat cheering & rooting for me!

- DUANE is such a fierce protector, servant, love, caregiver . . . he has made this journey a little lighter and he has carried so much extra in this season. 

- young adult children and their amazing friends checking in and praying for us. the way our kiddos have filled in some gaps. i’m so glad they are grown and can also take care of themselves. 

- i have the BEST girlfriends. i’ve said it in every single hard season i’ve been in . . . they show up each and every time. they’re also amazing in the easier seasons of life. 

- i am so spoiled, loved, supported, carried. 

- the nurses at st mary’s infusion center are such a delightful, dedicated, solid, loving team.  i can’t imagine being cared for any where else. they are all heart! i loved them all but sure did tell them i hope i never see them again unless it’s at the grocery store or out to eat!

- my close dvwe team of protectors are the only reason i’ve been able to continue working. i basically have around the clock body guards when i’m there! 

i’ve lost a lot of hair. a lot of weight. but my joy . . . i won’t lose that! 

i don’t ever want to forget this journey yet i don’t ever want to repeat it either! i’m grateful for the hard and i appreciate the beautiful bc we definitely experienced both!



i’m coming back stronger, healthier, & more joyful than ever before. i’m ready to SHINE!
