Day Twenty-Six with Cancer

Day Twenty-Six with Cancer/Day Five without Cancer:

Usually sleeping on the couch would stink, but waking up there this morning was awesome.  I couldn't help but giggle as I heard my grandparents whispering back and forth to each other.  I felt so blessed to be home and to have them here with me.  I sent mom a text telling her that I was awake and they were welcome to come down at any time.  They did shortly thereafter, dad carrying the dog so she didn't pounce on my gut.

We got up and got ready for church.  I think the men were debating on whether they should go or not, but in the end we all did.  How lovely!  My father at church two weeks in a row!  Everyone was completely shocked to see me there.  I should have taken a tally of how many jaws dropped.  Hey, I didn't feel BAD, so I was gonna be there.  I'm stubborn that way.  Plus, I really was hoping that Pastor Terry would be there, since he's having surgery Monday.  I spoke with a lot of people on the way in and then sat down next to grandpa.  He held my hand for a good part of the service.  I was surprised that not only was Pastor Terry there, but he was still preaching.  For some reason, I thought Dusty (our Youth Pastor) was preaching.  It was such a good message.  I was so glad to be there.  The Spirit of the Lord was heavy on the service.  I felt overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness.  Pastor Terry had Dusty anoint him at the end of the service.  That was seriously awesome.  To see the amount of people to go up and get to pray for our pastor was seriously moving.  I popped out of my seat and went to join them.  When I started praying, I knew at that moment that PT was going to have a healing similar to my own.

After church all of the family went over to Sarah and Jeff's.  I kept trying to get Jaden to play Uno or Chicken Foot with me, but he was dead set on Pokemon and I know nothing about that game.  We tried air hockey for a little bit, but I stopped so that I could concentrate on the conversation that Jason and I were having.  Sydney kept standing on top of the mini air hockey table.  That girl already wants to be on the stage.  We were having a hard time prying her off.  I love that.  I hope I'm able to help her develop those natural talents.

We went home and relaxed for a bit before going to bed.  I was able to catch up on last week's Glee.  Praise God for tivo.  It was a seriously lovely day.  :D

Verse of the Day: 2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
