Merry Christmas, Sister

It's Christmas Eve and we've just finished up a HUGE dinner of shrimp creole, cornbread, salad and too way too much junk food. Everyone is here but Diane and Tony. They won't be here until tomorrow. I tried to talk her into coming tonight but they wanted to just chill - go to church, open presents together and rest. They need it. It's hard to believe how much has happened since last Christmas - good news and bad, new doctors with all sorts of new treatments, and lots of prayers to our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for the friends and loved ones that have called and emailed. I can't tell you how much it means to us. I love that we have the blog now to keep everyone up to date. I really don't have any news other than she's doing very well. She is on the tamoxifin and feeling better. We are believing AS A FAMILY that God is going to heal her! She has opened my eyes to so many scriptures about healing in the Bible. As the new year starts, I want to post a scripture weekly on the blog - that way, when Diane comes to your mind, you can pray with us! I think it will be awesome for all of us to have the same scripture on our hearts and minds. That is my goal in January....be looking for it!

Diane,
I just want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Dear Lord, we need a new year, right?? Anyway, I want you to know that I love you so much. You are amazing! I always wanted to be you! So brilliant and beautiful - I was so jealous! As we got older, you drove me crazy - so bossy! I drove you crazy and you had no problem letting me know! I SO wish that I could go back and do it all over again.... I wouldn't have worn your clothes and ruined them, I wouldn't have hit you in the bathroom because we were both trying to get ready at the same time, I wouldn't have snuck in your room to use your make-up ( oops, did I ever tell you about that? ) Oh well, I guess those things have just molded us into who we are today - and you are incredible. You are so strong, wise, independent, disciplined, faithful, persevering, and most of all determined. You know God has a plan and you are ready and waiting for him to use you. You inspire me and so many others and I hope you know how much I love you.
