Feeling Good and Hopeful!
Well, hello everyone! Long time, no blog! Yeah, my bad. But there really has not been much for me to write about until now. You see, I have some updates to talk to you guys about and about some life changes and growth and that I have some high hopes on things. Just have lots to go over! So I will get started.
First off, my mom is in the final stretches of her cancer treatment! Right now, she is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is in the middle of her 3rd round of chemo. After she is done with this next round they will be doing a cat scan of her chest and abdomen just to see what things look like and how if things are working like they are supposed to. And if the cat scan comes back looking clear my mom could be done with chemo, or maybe just have to have only 1 more round! And considering there was not anything visible when my mom had surgery, I am pretty hopeful that the cat scan will look clear and she will be done with chemo. So, definitely be praying a lot that the cat scan will come back clear so my mom will be done and be in remission and we can get back to our normal lives, cancer free!
Next thing to address is my surgery journey. I have completed everything I have needed to do on my checklist, saw all the necessary doctors, got blood work done, been medically cleared, and now SURGERY IS SCHEDULED! I will be having Gastric Sleeve Surgery on September 14th. Note that I said SLEEVE and not BYPASS. With the Sleeve surgery, the doctor will just be removing a portion of my stomach, and will not have to mess with my bowels and reroute them at all. So, there are a lot of less risks involved with having the Sleeve and it will be less disruptive to me overall. I am really excited for this upcoming surgery. The time frame there is to wait, is ok, though. That is because it gives me plenty of time to process this and prepare myself mentally and emotionally. Also, that way I don't have to worry about not feeling good over a small trip me and my family are planning on going on in the middle of August. And I am very hopeful that this will be a good thing for me and it will be a success and I will be able to live a much healthier, and better life.
And now onto the next thing. Yesterday, July 13, I got a phone call from one of the local schools in my area. They asked me to come and interview for their Before and After School Program this coming Thursday, July 16th at 1:00pm. I am really super excited about this, because this would literally be the perfect job for me. For one, it involves working with kids, which I love. Two, I would work only when school is in session. And three, the hours/time I would have to work are also pretty nice and be good for me, too. I am hopeful about this job opportunity because I have a lot of experience working with kids, and I am hoping that I can really impress them at the interview with my experience and make them see me as an asset. So, please pray for me, too, that I will get this job. As I really need it and it would be perfect for me!
Last thing, over this past weekend, I had a lot of emotional highs and lows and a lot of digging deep within myself and growing spiritually. I won't go into super detail, as, it is kind of hard to explain. But, basically, because of some things I read in my book I am reading and a couple of really good faith based movies I watched. I was just forced to really think deeply about my life and how the things I watched and read apply to me. And it made me really emotional and I had a lot to think about. Honestly, there were moments where I was not necessarily too nice to a couple of people and I snapped a little. But I have processed it all now and am feeling much better. I apologize to anyone I may have been kind of mean to or snapped at all over the weekend. I, basically, dug deeper into my ability to trust in God and let him take control of my life and let go of my issues. And to really live by full faith. I am now trying to pray more and lean on Him even more than I was before. I am trying to work on improving my faith. Trying to Let Go and Let God more, essentially. Trying to really allow God to lead my life so I can become the woman he wants me to become. There are things I am still working through and I am still growing and learning. But I am trying hard to be even better.
So that is everything I have to update on. Keep me in your prayers, my mom, and my family. A lot of things coming up and lot going on. But I am feeling good and feeling hopeful. Trying to trust God. And I do trust that we will get through these challenges and we can get on with better, healthier, happier, more normal lives! Thank-you all for reading.
