Well, it started out good

Sunday was a beautiful non stressful day. Visited Chapel by the Sea again. Enjoyed the service. What I really like best is the fact that both Ron and I were relaxed getting there and leaving. A true blessing.

We had a fun evening with friends, then as they were leaving Shelby decided to try to fly. Well, maybe not exactly, I'm not sure she even knows what happened. But one second she was sitting on the top stair and the next she was laying at the bottom, crying, holding her arm.

It swelled up immediately. BROKEN! Goodness! Iced it, wrapped it, drugged her and sent her to bed. This morning we went and had it X-rayed. Sure enough it was a break, but a minor one. Couldn't cast it yet due to the swelling. The true bummer is, she is currently taking an art class, piano lessons, and playing volleyball. She is quite the trooper. Kept smiling!

But my heart is deeply hurting for friends' loved ones. Stacia, a six year old, has been diagnosed with a tumor the size of a lemon on the back of her brain. The doctors are almost 100 percent sure it is cancer. She will be in surgery tomorrow. God has had His hand in each part of the testing, diagnosing, and planning.

I am holding onto my kids a little tighter, thanking God for the blessings and praying that He gives me strength to face the trials.
