Blessings Abound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise God, Praise God, Praise God!!!

What a WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!

Started it by finding out our Graygers has been a stellar kiddo at school enough to be chosen for Student of the Month!  Celebrated his accomplishment with a little school-reception where his teacher's key-word descriptors for him included 'Friend to All', 'Curious', 'Intelligent', 'Careful-worker' and 'Fun.' Yep... he's blessed to have a beautiful teacher who takes the time to know him well. ;)

The week continued with some more wooooooonderful surprise visits by precious friends and loved ones, spreading the gifts of thoughtful gestures, words, hugs and loves to our humble home.

One friend surprised us with setting up a bank-account for any donations or raised-funds to help us cover the medical-bills that are beginning to piggy-back onto the normal mail-pile.
Another friend, an old-coworker and near-neighbor surprised us with a couple freezer-goods.
Yet another stopped by with what feels like a perfectly-made-for-me pink 'Courage' mug, covered in wonderful verses that remind me just how held up I am by my Lord and Savior and by HIS fear-ridding Strength!
Visits from other friends, too.... just too many daily blessings to list, individually, honestly.

SO. HUMBLED.

Today, I spent the day with my sweet mommy, traveling up to OHSU, once again...
only this time NOT for needles and tests (yes!!) but for meetings of a 'fun' sort.

Chemo-class and a visit with the wig-lady. ;)

Took away lots of good tidbits about chemo-treatments... possible effects, ways to troubleshoot said effects and even ways to prevent certain circumstances.

The real fun came though when we chose the most sassy, firey-red wig we could find for those days I need that 'fighter, fire-spirit', restored. ;)

OR for those days I just feel like being a sass-a-frass, ha. What me?! No, teehee.

Returned to Roseburg from our whirlwind day-trip just in time to catch my eldest's karate-test and watch proudly as he earned his yellow-belt!!! Oh, our unique little Gray... doing things in the same 'nobody's rushin' me' fashion I know my parents can attest YOURS-TRULY lived by, at the same age.
But hey, when called upon to know his stuff... he did... and that's all that mattered for that belt!
Of course, Lincy was quick to 'claim' brother's old belt, telling everyone he is now officially a white-belt. Have to laugh at the scenario though, as he actually HAS learned much of what Gray knows, just by sitting through the months of brudder's karate-sessions. In fact, it took him all of two weeks to be on board with the 'bow-in and out' rule of entering and exiting the room...and even Master Auer agrees that Linc has nearly earned an honorary white-belt for sibling side-line attendance, hehe.

As if the day was not abounding enough with good moments, feelings and so much continued Provision...the evening ended on the near HIGHEST note possible when I received a phone call from our genetics counselor with our genetic test-results.

DRUM ROLL PLEEEEEASE:

It's NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES!!!

Lemans terms:

1) No more worrying about passing the cancer-gene to my precious boys and/or my precious UNborn grand-babies!!!

2) No ovary taking/hysterectomy-having, NECESSARY!!!
My chances of ovarian cancer are NO GREATER than any other average-Betty! :D

GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooo, sooooooooooooo Good!!!

Soooooooooooooooooooooo MERCIFUL!

SO. FULL. OF. GRACE!!!!!

Thank you, Lord for your Mercy on us~ We will never be worthy, but are oh so grateful.



~Love you all for your continued prayers and believing!
