Time to update

Apparently having a kiddo impacts the amount of time there is to update the blog. Especially now that she wants to play with mommy and daddy. :) and we are taking full advantage of playing all the time b/c I know the day will come where playing and hanging out with her parents will no longer be cool.

Anyway, our lives are busy and the end of 2011 was a hard one. My paternal grandfather had a cancer scare. He had colon cancer and had surgery to remove it. Praise the Lord the doc was able to get it all and there was no further treatment needed. He will have to have regular check ups and he is still working on getting back to his original strength but over all I think he is doing pretty well.

The beginning of December my cousin's husband of only 6 weeks passed away in a car accident in Hendersonville. I can't even begin to explain the hurt and sadness still in my family.

The same day John's grandmother fell and broke her wrist and elbow. She had to have surgery and pins put it. She had been in a rehabilitation nursing home-like facility since. She did get some good news from the doc this week in she will be getting a lighter cast that is removable.

All of that to say that lately I have been learning a lot about relying on God and trusting that he is with me EVERY step of the way. He goes before me and prepares my path. He know exactly what I am going to face and promises to face it with me. It is SO hard to remember that sometimes in the midst of heartache, hurt and stress. Even so, there is always something there to remind me. Yesterday this was one of those things that He gave me as a reminder. Listen to this song and be reminded that God is with you in every moment!
