Taking a Little Road Trip


   Hi Everyone!!! I know I have been absent more often than not these last few weeks. Since my sister started her chemotherapy treatments I've been busy helping her as much as possible and haven't had as much time as I would have liked for posting. I have continued to visit most of you and when time permitted left a comment or two. Visiting all my friends in blogland is a wonderful way for me to recharge my batteries, you have all been so sweet and supportive that my heart is uplifted with each comment you leave. This wonderful community is a great source of inspiration and support and I thank you all!
   My sister has a short break from her treatments now but begins chemotherapy and radiation on Nov. 16th for a six to seven week period. She has been blessed by all your prayers and encouragement and has had little nausea. She is however experiencing a great deal of pain and severe flu like body aches and is exhausted. Hopefully this little break will help and strengthen her for the next round so please continue to pray as I truly believe this helps!
   Since we are between treatments we have chosen to take a little road trip before the holiday frenzy begins. My youngest son is off from school for Teacher's Convention and it will be the only chance we get for a break before Christmas. I am hoping this little diversion will strengthen us all for the battle that is ahead.
   Although my time has been devoted to my sister of late I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate your support and while I may not be able to post as often as before I am still here and enjoying every visit with each of you!!!

                         God Bless You All !!!

    Oh Diva enjoy this break! I am asking the Lord for a refreshing for all of you! Strength for both of you and JOY unspeakable! Traveling mercies and that Angels are surrounding your car and a hedge of protection on the road!!! May the Lord just give you a time of laughter for it is good for the body!!

    My dad has been experiencing weakness and is frustrated. His chemo is once every 3 weeks so we are praying he continues to get strong before he goes back for another treatment!

    Bless you all!!

It's so thoughtful of you to take a mini trip before the next round. I pray that the Lord will continue to bless you both with strenght and comfort. I hope the trip is fun and relaxing and that you enjoy lots of laughs together.
