There are just so many things going on in my life right now.  My husband lost his job just before Thanksgiving last year which was a wonderful thing!  We had been praying about moving here to Georgia and were searching for a "are we sure this is the right thing" answer.  Well, that was certainly a resounding yes!  They gave him such a nice severance package we were able to make repairs needed to sell our house and have plenty of money to live on until we moved.  We arrived and moved into a trailer (2 bedroom and there are 5 of us!) on some property my parents owned and started looking for a house.  My husband and I couldn't agree on anything.  My dad suggested we buy the propery we were staying on.  I was worried my sisters wouldn't like that but they both had no problems with it.  It is a beautiful place with a pond and 6 acres of land.  We even have a swamp with the kids love.  We have a paddle boat and chickens now.  We started building a house which is comming along.  We are painting the inside and have to get it done so the flooring people can come.  We are hoping to be in by Thanksgiving. 

On a sadder note I found out in June that my mother's breast cancer had come back and she was diagnosed as terminal.  I am so greatful that God moved me here in time to spend time with her and enjoy her. She started chemo and was doing well but complications set in over the last 3 weeks.  She developed blood clots in her good lung and had to stop treatment for a week and this week her life port became so infected they had to take it out.  My mother has such bad veins, that without a port she won't be able to receive any more treatment.  Her doctor doesn't want to try to  put another one it.  I have been so angry with the treatment that she has received.  They wrote her off from day one and didn't understand why she even wants to bother trying chemo.  What they don't seem to understand is that we serve and awesome God and He decides when it's time for my mother to die not them. We are praying for a miracle while preparing for the end.  The hardest thing is going over and having to help my mother go through her stuff.  She is determined to have everything divided up to who gets what and getting rid of all the stuff she was eventually going to get around to using.  She doesn't want the house cluttered for Dad when she is gone.  She is ready for when the Lord calls her.  The doctors had given her 4 to 6 months and we are in the fourth so everyday with her is a miracle for us. I love you Mom.
