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!

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! –>

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.

Hello everyone 🙂

Here’s our Scripture Writing Plan for May!

As has become a pattern with my posts of late…there is again a health scare for my husband I would covet your prayers regarding.

December through January gave him Sepsis in his knee, last month (March) he had to have the tip of his toe amputated due to MRSA (we suspect he contracted in the hospital or the three weeks in the nursing home during his Sepsis hospitalization.

THIS time it’s….cancer…   He started noticing a growth on the back of his neck during this last hospital stay with the MRSA.  At first we (and the hospital staff) thought it was just a cyst. But it kept growing…   to now it’s the size of half an orange 🙁

His dermatologist did a biopsy a few weeks ago and we got the diagnosis of carcinoma last week.  Right now we are awaiting Tuesday when he will undergo a PET scan, MRI, CT, and endoscopy to determine the extent of the cancer…  The oncologist he saw last week wants to see where else (or hopefully nowhere else) the cancer may be.  He wants to know if the neck is the extent of the cancer,or if it developed somewhere else and spread to his neck.

At any rate…you can imagine the stress as we wait…

But the Lord has been so good to us in the midst of it all, and in the effort to put Him first, I ask you for your prayers and move us on to our monthly scripture writing plan which helps to grow our faith and get us closer to Him regardless of our trials.
