She is profoundly mentally ******ed. So, chemo may not be an option. She has exhausted all oral chemo meds. Prayers your good feeling continues
Sprout- I remember all the walking, you are still way ahead of most of us. Wilma- I agree witht he others, I don't think your supervisor would have said it if she didn't mean it. I supervise 7 other people and was friends with some of them before becoming their supervisor. The big thing is to set the guidelines of your expectations. {that things will not change from the job your supervisor is doing, since you said she is wonderful, you can continue with how she has been doing things. Just can't let friends get away with more or special treatment , I am sure you will do fine, prayers for a the right decision.
I am doing great myself I lost one more pound for an even 25 which is cool slow but steady. Got to go grocery shopping today, then r/r so easy fun day. Hi to all those MIA! E.Z. Happy Building remember those pics. See ya!

Hello Everyone!! Once again it is a beautiful day out. 65 degrees today! My sons birthday is today so I am getting off work early and taking him some cupcakes up to his class so he can have a party with them. Then tomorrow he is having his birthday party. It is supposed to be nice tomorrow too, I pray that it is because all the games and the pinata are going to be outside! I tell you, God is just so good. I went to bed ast night just thanking Him for being who He is. Thanking Him for chosing me, for loving me and for saving me. I just was thinking, where would I be in my life right now if it had not been for him?? Scary thought! But thanks be to God who loves us all!

Wilma - You go for it girl! This is no mistake! Every good and perfect gift comes from above, so you reach right up and get your gift. God does not give us more than we can handle. Trust Him as He has trusted you! If you dont feel qualified, you ask God to make you qualified!! Can He do it??? Of course He can!

doitforme - Thank you so much for that testimony! I know God can and will do it for my niece. He IS the great physician, you are right about that. She is such a blessing to me. She has stretched my faith and made me so grateful for everything. I mean, I look at her and what she has gone through in her little time she has been here, and she still smiles when we talk to her and she still pulls through. So then I think to myself, "and I am complaining and griping ...?" Boy does this put things in perspective! So I am believing God and I will continue until we send the end of this thing. I already told her that she is a walking testimony!

SunnyD - I am so happy to hear that you are feeling great again today!! You cleaned up yesterday (literally). Shopping is always a good thing. I know it always makes me feel better!

Hello again ladies. . . .

doitforme - Your youth group sounds terrific. How many kids do you have involved and what age group does all this work? Do the rewards (trip) come at the end of the school year? Our group usually takes the summer off, other than maybe an occasional outing to the pool or something. One pound down, keep it going, that's one more toward your goal.

SunnyD57 - So glad to hear you're having another good day, hopefully they will add up. Also meant to add yesterday that I LOVE the pictures of your cats! I have always been a 'cat person', at one time I had 4 indoors! (Which was about 3 too many!) But I love them all, currently just one now, Miss Inquisitive, 'Quizzie' for short. She a long hair white and thinks she's Queen Quizzie! Usually in the bed, down under the covers before I can get it made of the morning and can't seem to understand why I don't leave her there all day!

MNEWTON - Happy Birthday to your son. How old is he? I always enjoy my daughter's birthdays but am also just as happy once they're over, they can be a lot of work! And you abraggin' on your 65 degree weather, we're looking at a snowy weekend. . . oh well, spring will be here sometime. . .

WILMA - I totally agree with the girls, - if you weren't able to do it, your boss wouldn't have suggested you go for it. Set the guidelines and expectations, and be sure and talk to the Big Guy, that's always the first step. Like MNewton also said, 'He wouldn't put more on you than you can handle', - sometimes I just wish He wouldn't trust me so much. . .

"This is a day the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it"

Best wishes to all for a great weekend, Margie

He emailed me again and said that he would keep in touch. How would a spinal tap verify a diagnosis? He's going to have one. I think he wants to be sure and know what he's dealing with. It's really bothering me that i can't help. I'm going to invite him to Alpha when we have healing ministry.

Mitchy- they often use a spinal tap to test for an infection, such as meningitis, not sure this is what he is wrong because it is also used to test other problems as well, such as bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid Hemorrhage), or causes of unexplained seizures or headaches but infections are the big one. They are usually handeled with antibiotics, although they are considered serious and the procedure itself can cause meningitis. Will keep him in prayer. Pray he lets you know soon, sometimes knowing is better than not knowing.
M-Newton- 65 degrees send some my way! You are right He has the power, and He works all things to good, even when we don't understand why!
Margieb- My youth group goes from age 12-18 we usually go on our trip after the kids get out of school in July . But this year, we have to that will have graduated and are headed to college so we went early so they can be part of it. She ia our piano player and He is one of the guitar players. The kids work very hard at this for several months, and we decided that in order to be eligible to go on the trip you must be in the youth group working toward this goal, when we start not just before we go. Our teens are an exceptional group, they all most all go to Christian school, they almost all profess salvation. So we are blessed with that. I do the props and outfits for the skits and program. The other lady does the music and the songs ect. We both work on skit training, and Her husband does the bible lesson and prayer group so they have 3 adult leaders. We have a great time though.
I had baked chicken skin-less and a medley of veggies tonight. It was a tasty dinner. Now I'm going to go do dishes and r/r . So check back later, have good evening.

Thank you so much for your support. Knowing that you are all praying for me gives me strength and confidence that I will make the right decision.

I know that I am not qualified for this job but I can learn it. I am also concerned about the feelings of a co-worker who is pretty sure she'll get this position and I'm pretty sure she won't.

I am meeting my supervisor for lunch one day next week and I'm going to ask her lots of questions. I'll keep you posted on what is going on.

Again, I really appreciate you guys. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Becoming a manager over my friends has kept me from moving forward. But as time goes by I think that it is silly to KEEP FROM MOVING forward in my life and where God wants me to be. Pray Pray Pray and I hope the best for you and your career choices. Hopefully, your friends will support you and understand your new responsibilities.

Good morning all

I really miss you guys on the weekend, it so quiet around here then. I too haven't been online much on the weekends.

It's really cold today, i'd like to just stay home and hibernate, but i really should go do some laundry.

I was up with birthday weight, but i'm not letting it get to me. I weighed on Thurs, and was up, but yesterday i was down again. I'm just going to continue and see what happens next week, if i continue to lose, i think i'm doing ok.

Feeling rather homesick today. I've contemplated moving back to CA, how sick is that?

Wilma- I am sure you will make an awesome boss, because you question the fact leads me to believe you would be concerned for your staff and that is what starts the making of a good boss, someone who cares to start with.
Hi there Angie, nice of ya to stop in, your doing great with reaching your goal, your almost there.Mitchy- I certainly understand the being homesick, I could never move that far away from my family. I see them at two, to three times aweek, and I am an hour away. Palm Sunday is next weekend, hard to believe Easter is that close. I gotta go to work early in the morning so just popped in to say hi, wo't be back till Tuesday, working from 6:30am- 12midnight tom. You gals have a good day. Cheer up, Keep smiling,

How is everyone doing this morning? I hope you all had a great weekend.

I spent Saturday on the road with DH. He wanted to give me a taste of what the winter roads are like. I really enjoyed it and it gave me a new appreciation for what he does. We drove across a frozen lake and then through a trail plowed through the bush to get to a remote village. It was really eye opening to see how some people live.

I spent Sunday relaxing. I have been thinking a lot about this new position and have spent a lot of time praying about it. I was so tired from the stress that I slept 12 hours Saturday night. I never do that. I still haven't make a decision but I feel peace. PTL! I still plan to talk to my supervisor and get more info. Thanks so much for keeping me in your prayers.

I maintained my weight again this week but am retaining fluid because of approaching TOM so hopefully I'll be able to report a loss soon.

Thank you again so much for your prayers. Love to you all!

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had my son's birthday party and it was great! He turned 9 and had about 20 kids there. We only invited 10 but ended up with 20. But that was fine, I kind of thought that might happen so I was prepared. The weather was nice so we were able to have the entire party outside. So it all went well.

Mitchypoo - I am sorry to hear that you are homesick. I will be praying that the Lord will give you peace.

doitforme - Your youth group sounds wonderful! I love to hear about the youth doing good work for God. We have a youth group in our church. They are called Generation Church and they are on fire. They have their own bible study on Wed. and they have grown so much that they have kicked the adult bible study out of the sanctuary! It seats about 3000 people and they fill up the bottom half! You are doing a great job, keep up the good work! You are helping to build the future of the Kingdom!

wilma - Keep praying! The Word says that the steps of the righteous are ordered by God. So you pray that He would open the doors that no man can close and close the doors that no man can open! Acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Angie - 127 lbs lost?!! Congratulations!! How did you do it?


SunnyD - Are you feeling better?

Well, I am going to get back to work. Talk to you all soon! Have a very blessed day!
