My husband went to be with the Lord September 15th…

So no small talk today…  I’m just too raw right now.

I’ll post all about it one day and just know that I made a commitment to the Lord to at least get the scripture writing plan up every month, so I just finished it and now submit it to you all really hoping you all glean from it and grow in your knowledge of God’s Word.

I’m so very thankful for you all. Just know God is good…regardless.

As most of my readers know, we have a special needs son with autism (non-verbal) and now as a widow, he and I can use all the help we can get till the dust settles, so I’m leaving up the GO FUND ME PAGE loving people have given generously to throughout his cancer treatment days.

I sold all the rest of my husband’s pinball machines to raise enough money for his funeral expenses, but I still need to buy him a grave stone :'(  And… I’m waiting to see what will happen with our income once the death certificate is available for me to pick up.

I chose God’s Goodness for the theme this month because that was the sermon the pastor used in my husband’s funeral (along with a great gospel message) and I think I need a month’s worth of reminders of that fact… As I said…I’m pretty raw. It’s only been 12 days, and just 6 days since the funeral.

I’m so thankful that so many of you are enjoying and spiritually benefiting from these monthly scripture writing plans! I love putting them together for you knowing that you find them useful and uplifting! Use these passages to write out the scriptures and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Click on the image below to pull up the full-sized PDF file for printing –>

I usually print these out on 28 pound white paper (or 32 pound paper is even better) and just stick them right into my planner or journal. The heavier the paper, the less chance it will tear out of your binder or planner by accident and helps resist bleeding or ghosting from your pens or markers. It helps the page turn easier too. If you choose to print these out on full-size (letter) sticker paper. I use these here. They’re priced great and you can write on them easily. They are good enough quality for my needs. If you want a top-quality sticker paper look for these or clear ones here. (Though not all pens or markers will write well on the clear ones). If you don’t want to use sticker paper, you can print them on card stock or regular printer paper and glue them down. Honestly, the sticker paper is the best way, however. Regardless of the type. Going through a lot of ink printing out planner stickers? Do like I did and enlist in the HP Instant Ink program! I’ve saved so much money on ink since I did a year and a half ago. They have different plans, but the one I’m in (the most pages) is that I can print up to 300 pages worth of ink for just over $9.99 per month. You can choose lesser pages for a lower rate, but I do a lot of printing between coupons, planner stickers and other things. Click on the image here to check it out! –>

Without further adieu, here is our September, 2019 scripture writing plan. Better late than never 🙂

Please forgive the delay. I was due to bring my husband home from the nursing home yesterday, then it was changed to this Saturday, THEN he had a setback and is back in the hospital admitted with an elevated white blood cell count (indicating an infection) and so far they’ve discovered an infection in one of his lungs.

They performed an MRI yesterday and we’re still waiting for the results from that.

It’s been such. a. long. summer….(sigh…)  Actually this all began just after Thanksgiving last November.

Every time we think he’s at the end of this trial, a new complication arises…

When he does return home, he’ll have to have a visiting nurse attending to him.  But you know, this has really drawn him so much closer to the Lord. Crises either make you or break you and that includes in terms of your spiritual life.  I’m just so glad it’s drawn him to the Lord.

We couldn’t have afforded any of it without the GO FUND ME PAGE loving people have given generously to. We don’t need help with the rental fee every day any more (thank the good Lord), but there are some expenses remaining I would be more than grateful for your help with.  I have to pay the tax and title for the new van and that’s a little more than I have in our account at the moment.  There will be a lot of doctor appointments once Greg is home from the nursing homes. I’m just so eager for the days away from each other to be over!

More on that later, this post is about the September scripture writing plan. (I hope to do a lot of writing here about it all once things slow down.) I’ve been so busy that I left it up to my Facebook group members to suggest a theme (thanks guys!). Out of a long list they supplied, I chose this one:  Fresh start.  With the start of a new school and college year, a new fiscal year, and new season, it did seem fitting!

So much has happened since I posted July’s scripture writing plan.  Good and bad. My husband’s health (hospitalized and now nursing home), upcoming (unexpected) landlord inspection, van purchase (finally! We finally sold that pinball machine and got enough money to buy a new van). I feel like a yoyo that keeps going up and down!! 🙂  I’ll be posting all about it soon, but today’s post is for those of you who enjoy these Scripture writing plans.

I’ve been trying to get at least that posted every month through these crises, if nothing else. I long for the time I can be consistently active with more posts! It can’t be helped at this point, but with my husband having only 3 more radiation treatments (they discontinued the chemo) we’re at the last stretch (Lord willing!!)

I’ve been overwhelmed a number of times but the Lord has helped me understand the importance of steadfastness. He’s been so so good to us through all of this.  I’ve learned I’m stronger than I thought I am (through His strength), and He’s shown me how to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the midst of all this. If He’s been here for us through ALL that’s happened since December, I can have faith He always will, and that has taught me to be steadfast and keep going one breath at a time. I usually say, “One day at a time”, but with all we’ve been through, I’m now saying, “one breath at a time”, because that’s how we face every day, after all.

We need to be steadfast, trusting the Lord to be our shepherd to protect us, be our rock to hold us up, and be our lighthouse to guide the way for us.

We couldn’t have afforded any of it without the GO FUND ME PAGE loving people have given generously to. We don’t need help with the rental fee every day any more (thank the good Lord), but there are some expenses remaining I would be more than grateful for your help with.  I have to pay the tax and title for the new van and that’s a little more than I have in our account at the moment.  There will be a lot of doctor appointments once Greg is home from the nursing homes (his last radiation day is Wednesday and I’m moving him to the nursing home near our home (my mom is there too) for further rehab and recovery.

First I want to say thank you for very very very much for the love outpoured to my family during this trying time.  I literally could not have gotten through it without you!  The Lord has been so good to us using some of you to get us through it financially, and He has been so good to us helping us to endure the trials.

We just finished week 1 of 6 weeks of chemo and radiation for my husband.  I’ve been sick the past 3 days with a sinus infection (I suspect) that began as a bad allergy attack, and now (as much as I’ve tried to distance myself from him), Greg has it now. That can be very scary in his condition…

So far he’s dealing with some swallowing difficulty, tiredness, and a little dizziness. He still has a lot to go though…

We still are looking for a buyer for the pinball machine whose sale can get us a new vehicle after my husband hit a deer two days before his cancer surgery.  We are still driving a rental car and that daily rate adds up really quickly.  We couldn’t have it without the GO FUND ME PAGE loving people have given generously to.

We are staying Monday-Friday in Solon, Ohio with friends of Greg’s family who have opened their home to us.  We stayed there last week and will again this week, but it’s uncertain for the other four weeks. They are such a blessing to us because there hasn’t been a facility open for us to lodge in throughout Greg’s treatments because we have our 16-year old autistic son with us and they don’t allow minors, or because they want us to contribute half the normal hotel room rate and we can’t afford that.  It’s an hour and a half drive from our home to the Cleveland Clinic where he gets chemo once a week for 5 hours, and radiation for 5 days a week.

We can use all the help we can get, and if the Lord puts it on your heart to lend a hand, I have a Go Fund Me page here that will explain it all.

But on to the scripture writing plan!  July is my birthday month, so I thought it was ok to be selfish and choose the theme I need the most right now:  overcoming!

Better late than never, as they say 🙂

Please forgive the delay in getting this up and ready for you all.  As you may have read in my post about my husband’s health crisis, I have my hands full trying to douse water on all the fires and hold on to the Lord as tightly as possible along the way. My husband just had cancer surgery last week to remove a grapefruit-sized tumor on the back of his head/neck.  A few days before that, he hit a deer and totalled our only running vehicle.  He has to go to the Cleveland Clinic for radiation beginning June 11th for 6 weeks and we live an hour and a half away, so you know I’m a bit beside myself at the moment…

I really try to follow our Lord’s teaching in Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” and do my best to put His kingdom first knowing He will straighten out everything else. With that in mind, I try to make it a priority for me that I get my ministry items for up to my blogs and my groups and get everything straight so I can then turn my attention back to everything else (and boy is there a LOT!)

We can use all the help we can get, and if the Lord puts it on your heart to lend a hand, I have a Go Fund Me page here that will explain it all.
