Tuesday night

I have about one week till my genetic test are back. I have been faithful that all is going to be okay.
There were some great point's in Sunday's service.
1. Mismanagement occurs when we under value what we are really worth.
Matthew 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man exchange for his soul?

Just something to ponder.

Good news

Well I had some test done yesterday. I was worried about the results. Everything has come back okay. I was signing in yesterday and I looked at the girls name badge. Her name was Faith. I thought to myself God is sending a message to me to just have faith in him. I think God is trying to teach me some valuable lessons. I need to just trust him he has taken me this far and always taken care of me. I am so happy about this news.

Hi

I wanted to just update everyone. I had my genetic test last week. I will have the results on October 7th. Let's pray it is negative!! I finish radiation the last part of October. Per my doctor I will need that time to recover before my hysterectomy. I have been struggling with my emotions lately. I am coming up on my 6 month mark from my diagnosis. I have to have my mammogram and other check ups in October. I spoke with a few ladies at the cancer center the other day and from what they told me this is normal. They said for the first few years every time you have an ache you will think the worse. I am praying that God continues to give me the courage I need to face my journey without fear.

Bella's 1st birthday!

Well this time it is okay my big sis hacked into my blog. There is only one problem. Her name is Bella not Izzie!! My sister will forever irritate me about that. What else are sister's for?

It has been a busy week. Radiation is taking its toll. I am worn out but still in good spirits.

I hope everyone enjoys the picks of my little princess.

Hurricane Ike

Well Hurricane Ike should hit our area in a little bit. It will probably do some damage but I am sure not the devastation it left in Galveston and Houston area. We go through so many life changing events through out our journey here on earth. Thanks be to God for loving me each and everyday of my life. I have wondered from God at times in my life. I could not imagine having to endure my journey with out him.

Praying for the people in the path of Hurricane Ike

I am praying today for peopl in the path of Hurricane Ike. It is amazing how we live our lives and focus on such small things that in the end do not matter.

One week down and 5 1/2 weeks left

Well I have completed my 1st week of radiation. I have really been worn out since last week. The doctor said that I was tapered off steroids to quickly and basically my body is shutting down. My body has to level off. The good news is it will get better. I wanted to just update everyone and hope you all have a great week.

Qoute

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light and not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves... who am I to be brilliant, to be gorgeous, to be talented, to be fabulous. Actually, who are we not to be those things. You are a child of God...your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others around you won't feel insecure. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us...it is in all of us. As we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we liberate from our own fears our presence automatically liberates others."


Nelson Mandela

Radiation and taking care of me!!

Well I have three days radiation down. 30 more to go. I am focusing on my family and my self. What can Cara do for herself and her family. I have decided that I am no longer going to allow irrational people to affect me. During my journey people have tried to pull me down and if they choose to live their life in chaos and being rude. I am not allowing it to affect my life. I no longer have to live in fear. What I once allowed to hurt me, abuse me and tear me down can no longer have that affect on me. I am surrounded by supportive people who love me. These hurtful people had me fooled for years they are master manipulators for a reason because they are good at it. However when you get in a room of rational people they can see right through it because eventually their lies catch up to them. I love my husband and all my children and I will not let anyone hurt them. God will prevail!!! Bobby and I are faithful to God. As our pastor said you can not have it both ways it is not just God on Sundays it is everyday. God is good and our Sunday School Pastor said I am a walking testimony to the power of God. AMEN!!
All of our children are doing well and our family is coming together better then any dream I could of imagined. Alyssa is doing so good this year she has a weight off her shoulders and is just thriving. Jacob is doing well and loving school and he loves playing games with mommy and daddy. He is learning that you always do not have to win it is how you played the game. Alexa has had a fantastic time in kindergarten. She even makes up homework she wants it so badly. Bobby and I take turns teaching her how to read. Anthony and Bella are cute as ever and so smart. Well they all are smart and good looking. I guess since the five had two different dads all the looks and smarts came from me!!!

Great weekend, Radiation to start and Remebering my dad!

Okay since tomorrow is a little busy I figured I would blog tonight. Much to my surprise I see my way older sister has hacked in my blog again and changed my picture. What else are older sister's for except to pester you and totally humiliate you. Love ya Kiss Kiss!!! Tomorrow is the start of my radiation treatments. I must admit I am a little nervous about it. I am sure I will say it was no big deal but right now it is still the unknown. Please say a prayer that God will protect me and keep me safe.
Well this weekend was a nice weekend Bobby and I totally enjoyed our time. We got to relax and just be in love. Then at Sunday school the class was "Remember why I got married".
I thought how appropriate for the weekend since Bobby and I got to do exactly that.
We slept and laid out by the pool. We had a great time talking and a great time when nothing was said. Thank you to our dear friends for allowing us to have a get a way. Also a BIG thank you to my mom for keeping all five kiddos!!!
On a sad note tomorrow is 1 year since the death of my dad. Bobby and I visited his grave site today. It was the hardest thing to still at one year to see his grave just a patch of grass and no marker. I guess I do not understand why we can not just pay to have his veterans marker set. I guess since us three girls have no say that is the way it is. It will be that way until the double base for my dad and his wife is paid for. Until then my dad will lay there unnoticed by strangers walking by. I placed yellow roses on his grave so he could have something for the moment to mark his final resting place. I know that the maintenance workers will pick it up but it is there for now. There are many times when I have things to tell him and start to pick up the phone. There are times when I just really miss him. Not our political, money or religion discussions but just him! I love you daddy!!
