So, I will start out with the good news! Sis went to the doctor today and got a pretty positive reaction from this new doctor!! She will be going back in 2 weeks for her blood results, but he believed her problems are from her Lupus flare up that she is having...which is fantastic. {It's not fantastic that she is having a flare, but that she doesn't have anything worse!} The doctor is going to check all of her levels and things like thyroid and iron...so please keep her in your prayers!
For the sad news. My brother-in-law's Mamaw isn't doing well at all and they've only given her 6 to 12 more months. She just had leg surgery and has a spot on her liver and a mass in her breast. She is 86 years old and the sweetest lady out there. Her and Papaw have been married for 70 years, so my concern isn't for Mamaw, it's for Papaw. I can't even imagine what he will be going through. They are a God send for my brother-in-law and family. Please keep her and all of them in your prayers.
It's so hard growing up and getting older, because those around us grow older too. However, after loosing Nanny so suddenly two years ago, it makes you wonder which way is better to loose a loved one. There is no good way to ever have to say goodbye. Nanny didn't suffer, God decided it was her time to go and she went. But it was so hard on our family members that wasn't there to tell her goodbye. Mom and I were there (along with my wonderful Husband), but we still didn't get to say goodbye. We didn't know God would take her so fast. It wasn't easy for us either. But, then to have to think about watching your loved one's die while they are sick isn't easy either. I remember the pain Shannon had to go through with each phone call about his Mommy...the phone calls of "She's not going to make it to Christmas" and more. But she did, and I was so happy Shannon could be there when she went to heaven, but again...it didn't make it any easier on him to let her go.
The wonderful thing about it all, is we will see them all again one day. God promises us that and that is how we can go on.
Sorry to have such a good and bad update...but I just wanted to ask my prayer warriors for more prayers sent our way.
Love to you all.

Love how the header turned out! What do you think? I like it with the background too, you did a great job.
About your post, I feel the same way. It's like I think I can grow up and have kids but my grandparents and parents should always be the same age. I hope Travis' grandma lives longer than they expect. It's just hard the whole way around.
Keep us posted on Christy. I know she has to be frustrated. Hope she feels better soon!
that is beuatiful Jennifer....just illustrates the importance of telling everyone we know about JESUS and training your children up to know and love HIM!
You are a sensitive young with and it seems as if you have your priorities verticle!
Have a great day....PB
Thanks guys! And Thanks Mandi for applying my header...whenever you have time, can you send me directions in an email? Knowing me, I'll want to change this booger every other day! :)
Jennifer...like you said, the main thing is that our loved ones know our precious Jesus...and that we do, too, so we can see them again one day!!! And...that we teach our children...and in my case GRAND-children...about Jesus, too...and I know you're doing that!!!
I'm enjoying your Sunday songs!!!
I love doing that, too!!!
