My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.

The Power of Prayer and the Priesthood

There are most likely some of you reading this that are not a member of my faith.  I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Some call us Mormons because we have another set of scriptures that goes along with the Bible, that takes place in America.  The Book of Mormon.

Yesterday, I talked with my husband and told him how strongly I felt that my cancer condition should be such a more debilitating story today, 9 months later, than it is.  I literally have felt the power of so many of your prayers.  I have had the most beautiful blessings through the priesthood power of those having priesthood authority in our church. It has blessed me emotionally, spiritually and physically. I know there have been those of you who have fasted for me.  Prayed for me.  Put my name on the prayer rolls of our temples all over the world.  With the faith of those wonderful people, I am here today living my life happily, with my cancer pretty much the same as it was 9 months ago. Not better, but not worse.  I feel a peace in my soul that comes from all of these things coming together and blessing me, my husband and family.


I asked Kim yesterday, "How can I thank all of those who have prayed and fasted for me? I don't even know who all of you are?".  He gave me good advise.  He told me to pray for others who need prayer. That is how I can pay- it- forward.  Thank you so much to all of you.  Your cards, and well wishes have blessed Kim and I.
