Huggin Necks…
Last night my brother in law and his son flew in, and tonight my sister in law and the other two boys are flying in… To say that I am excited would be an understatement (well, that would be on the inside, on the outside I am really run down and tired today) This vacation was planned before I found out I had cancer… before, we were going to go spend the week in a seasonal rental house in Orlando and go to the amusement parks… but plans change. I am just glad to be able to hug their necks!
They will be here until July 5th. We don’t have anything planned (except Tuesday, Mark, Jeff and the kids have rented a charter to go fishing). The 4th we will probably grill at home and then go to the beach and watch the fireworks…. Did I mention that I was excited?!
So bear with me if I don’t post everyday, I am enjoying my family!

One Touch
Many of you read my moms post “The Nana Takes A Turn” where she tells the following story:
“On the way to the airport, it was a quiet moment with scenery that was calming and music that was uplifting. We were listening to a Nicole C Mullins CD and the song “One Touch†came on. Heather, who could not speak a full sentence so far - sang this song. I cried as I listened to my daughters voice singing praises to God.”
I remember that moment. I remember visualizing that I was touching the hem of his garment. I remember wishing that this was all just a bad dream and I would soon wake up. I remember crying in the back of the rental car, singing this song. I am crying now, just listening to it… The pain is oh so very fresh on my heart.
If I could just touch the hem of His garment
I know I’d be made whole
If I could just press my way thru this madness
His love would heal my soul
If only one touch
Its hard to believe that all this happened over a month ago, Its hard to believe that this is my life. But its even harder for to believe that my God didn’t know that I would be going through this, at this very moment. He was here before me, waiting for me.
Like the woman in this song, I too want to push my way through this madness… I want to touch the hem of his garment…. I want to hear Him say “Someone has unleashed my power”. I want to be made whole.
I want that so very badly…
But then I remind myself to not forget the small miracles that happened along the way. How could I forget them? I am alive, I have full function of my right side, I have my speech, I have been blessed with a loving and dedicated family, and more importantly I have the promises of my loving Savior… whether I am healed this side of heaven, I will be whole on the other side. I will mount with wings like an eagle. I will soar into the ever loving arms of an ever lasting God.
He never left me… He has never left me… and that is the one thing I cling to.
He will move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call…
