Hello everyone-
No worries, I'm still doing the blog. Michael and I have been busy with our house issues! For those of you who haven't heard our horrible tale.....
Two weeks ago, Michael went to Reno for Hot August nights for work and stayed up their the entire week. The 2nd night he was gone I found worms (larvae to be exact) in the carpets of all three bedrooms! SO GROSS! They were everywhere and I immediately gathered the kids and fleed the house! All that to say, we just moved back in last night and we still aren't done! Who ever made up the saying bad things come in three's must not have ever had anything like this happen to them!

Onto the news............
Just got off the phone with mom and both mom and dad have decided to delay the next treatment of chemo for now. She was supposed to go in this morning for her next treatment but Marty woke up this morning and felt as if they should wait upon the Lord. Grandma Payne called mom this morning after they had decided this and Grandma Payne said "Well, this will give God a chance!" Words of wisdom from Grandma!

So mom sounded good this morning. She was hopeful and glad to be back home. She had been staying with Mark and Martha for three weeks while Dad was on his trip. We faced many trials while she was here but nothing we couldn't handle. Having mom here in Jackson was a blessing and a bit challenging at times but we are glad Dad is back to help out!

Please join Mom and Dad as they continue to seek the Lord about what to do with her treatments.There are good and bad things about stopping or continuing her treatments as you might realize.Mom might be taking over the blog for a bit while she is up to it and while Michael and I get our house back into working order! We love every one of you who diligently read this and pray. We could never say thank you enough!
Until next time..........
Tara

  5. This may seem random, but what comes to mind is that how God works in situations like these is so very different than how man does, and for different purposes....and with such dramatically different outcomes than we could ever dream or imagine, amen? Here's to waiting upon the Lord....
    In His abundant love,
