I know for certain that my God is an" Awesome God" and that"He reigns" over all things. I also know that His Timing is perfect. So, with knowing all of this I sit here after midnight wondering what tommorrow holds.
Dad is at work, Mom is sleeping (somewhat) and so is SMN and my brother. Mom has had a rough couple of days. She seems to be slipping away and I'm okay with that.She has fought a long and hard battle. Some might say she is giving up but I say she is ready to see Jesus and her physical body is going through the process of releasing her. She then will have Victory, not defeat. It's just that it is so difficult for my dad, he has tried to deny this for a very long time. I am grateful for Hospice as they have tried to help Dad understand what is happening and this afternoon he and I were able to talk about the decline of her physical body. I told him how wonderful it was that God had allowed us so much more time with her and that she needed to know he was going to be alright. Please pray with me that he will set her free to be with her Lord, and that he will trust that God's timing is perfect.
I sat today thinking about how many people my mom has touched through her testimony of God's faithfulness
and how blessed I am to have such a wonderful Mom, friend,counselor and example for myself, my children and my grandchildren.
Thank you for listening to my rambling.
Thank you God for your Wisdom, Power and Love. You are an "AWESOME GOD"!

Busy Time for the Mom in the family...
ME !!
It's been a while since this mom has had any time to do any posting.
I often sit and look at the computer wondering how people have time to do so much writing.
As I have said before this is a real challenge for me and the only reason I keep it up is because I enjoy it.
Well, getting back to my busyness in life. We all know what it means to be someone's child and most of us know what it means to be somebody's mother and some more even know about being a spouse. Just being one of those keeps you busy enough but add all three and not to mention being a Grandparent! WWWhheww, I'm tired. I certainly don't have much time left over for uhhh me. So thats why the long time in between posts.
Some of you know my mom has been fighting cancer for the last four years. This last year has been very tough for her and for myself. I have had to come to the realization that Mom is not going to be around much longer. Oh, we are so very grateful for the time the Lord has given us. Almost five years ago they told her(the docs) she might be here 6mos. to 1 year. Did she ever show them that there is only "ONE PERSON" that knows when that time will be. These last few months I have made several trips back and forth from Augusta to Summerville to help Mom get to the doctor or stay with her in the hospital. The ladies in my Bible Study heard me say 2 wks ago that I didn't think she would pull through the last hospital stay, but I had to turn around and say " but she has surprised us so many times and she is one strong lady." A week ago they sent her home with an IV bag of food. We hook her up in the evening and some one unhooks her in the morning. This is the only way she can get any nutrients to stay alive, as she has a bowel obstruction. She has been a walking testimony to so many nurses, doctors and people at her church as well as those in other congregations. I heard someone say my mom has a smile that is so contagious you can feel it even over the phone.
I am so glad that I can be with her so much even living 2 1/2 hrs. away. We should all live as if tomorrow we would not see each other again and boy the good memories we would share.
This past summer I was able to take mom to the beach for the weekend and then give her a surprise luncheon at one of her good friends restaurant. It was great "I' even wrote her a poem for her 70th Birthday.(not like me of course but she enjoyed it).It was a very special time and I'm so grateful for the opportunity God has given me to spend some wonderful quality time with her.
