What is normal?


We are told we need to work towards normal
so yesterday I went to work and today Jeff went to work ~
I spent the day with Bri today

we are told we need to do normal
for sure, for right now, we have a new normal
on a scale of 1 -10 ~ 10 feeling good ~ today was a 3

we went to Pat Catan's, (a local craft store) she wanted to get supplies to
send in for her kindergarten class for Christmas gifts they are making ~ she did it!
as we drove there, we were not sure if she would be able to get out of the car
That was our fastest shopping trip ever ~ in and out in 20 minutes:)

then we came to our house in Mentor and she went to bed
she keeps waiting for this bad dream to be over
Bri said every time she wakes up thinking she has had a very bad dream

pray for God's healing
God has answered so many prayers ~ an amazing doctor,
she is tolorating the meds,
the time of year that both her dad and I can be with her,
an amazing sent from God husband
her brother and sister-in-law that keep in touch daily
family and friends that expressed love in so many was that we need a new
word for love

this chemo treatment has been a tough one ~
so mind boogling as a mom
wanting her to have treatment, knowing how sick she will be
I keep saying
"Yeah though I walk through the valley of darkness ~ I will fear no evil"
I focus on the walking and we she will walk out of this victorious and oh
what a party we are going to have:)

  1. Hi Suzanne & Zabrina,

    Today in quiet time several "things" brought you to my mind. I do not understand His ways but I know that He is good. I give thanks that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Pslam 46:1.


    I was also "given" these words "Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. And still more is possible for the person who knows how to love. But everything is possible for the person who practices all three virtues." - Brother Lawrence

    I thank God that you are women of faith - may you find your strength in Him today.

  2. Hello, Team Zabrina:

    I love that..."team". I know how close you all are and I know that the team concept truly applies. While I have been fervently praying for Zabrina's healing and well-being, I have also been giving thanks to God for all of the reasons that you had stated, Suzanne. What a blessing you all are and will continue to be in Zabrina's life. You are showing use all what Paul meant when he wrote that "Love never fails" (I Corinthian 13:8a). We are here to help with whatever you may need. In the meanwhile, we will pray. God Bless you all!
