Update

I made it through the surgery but dealing with lots of pain right now. I was worried about eating a full liquid diet for weeks but I really don't feel hungry as much as I am tired. I know that this too shall pass. The doctor says that the surgery was a success and for that, I am so thankful. I look forward to being able to visit with all of you soon. Thank you again!!

Oh good! I'm glad to hear the surgery went well. Be sure to be patient with your body (and spirit) as you heal. It takes a FULL year to recover from surgery--no matter how small.

Take care of yourself, Simone. We will send prayers for a fast recovery!

I stop and her breathing starts to rapidly increase. I realize that she is mimicking me. The last few months, I have been forgetting to breathe...to come up for air. I admit that life has been a challenge for me but I'm still here, somewhere, hiding beneath the busyness and stress. I love being who God has called me to be...a wife, a mommy, a stepmom, a pastor's wife but there are challenges that have left me wondering how I'm going to survive the storms. Being a wife has come easily. J is such an easy man to love. He looks at me, knowing that what he sees in me is a treasure. He protects me, loves me, soothes me and gives me strength.
