Hello All,
Well I started the day with a headache, an earache and even some dizziness (I usually don't have them all at once) but regardless I was going to church…so the whole family got ready (it takes approx. 2-3 hrs. with this crew so luckily we have an 11:30 service). Anyway, everyone gets logged in to their class and finally, for the first time in I don't even know how long, Dan & I get to sit in church together with no children (love my children but seriously...it is like nails on a chalkboard sitting in the main church with them). Wouldn't you know, after listening to wonderful music (even though it hurts my ear), standing and swaying (which could seriously make me look like a fool if I get too dizzy), the purpose for my being there was the part of the message saying...your ATTITUDE can determine how you will heal from something. The pastor proceeded to say that it is proven that the more positive your attitude when going into a surgery and the recovery the more smoothly it will go and the faster you will heal! That is just what Dan and I needed to hear. It’s all going to be scary but God is in control so we just need to relax and have a positive attitude so I can be healed and back to normal (the new normal) as soon as possible.
Thanks for all of your comments, prayers, calls, emails etc. Each and every one of you have brightened my day and made me realize how lucky I am! Much love, Jen!

Jen & Dan~
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you were able to be at church. We went Saturday night (and just like you the first time without kids...WHAT) and afterwards Matt and I looked at each other and said, I wonder if Jen is here. It was such a powerful message and a message that God delivered at the right time. You have amazed me with your optimism and positive attitude (even if you have weak moments/doubt...we all do) and I am confident that this attitude and your faith will deliver you from this tumor!
I am proud of you! Keep on smiling and keep the faith :)

Thanks Melissa~ Yes church was awesome! I'm so glad that we were there too. Thank you for all of your words of encouragement. I do have weak moments but I am trying to stay focused on what really matters! This tumor only has the power that I give it;0)! Hope you, Matt and the kids are doing well. Keep me posted on you all! Love to each of you, Jen
