Good morning! 3:00 a.m. is morning right?
OK, flashlights, I have a favor to ask of you all. I know that this is my journey with this illness but it is becoming more evident to me that when something attacks a wife it absolutely attacks her husband. Mark has been having several brain seizures a day for the last 3 or 4 days. In Gods mercy and grace, it seems that when he is NOT doing well, I feel really good and it is not a big deal at all because we have learned how to live with his condition. I would like you all to add Mark to your prayer list for complete healing as well and for peace and assurance of my complete healing. I know that you will do this and I am very thankful that I can ask you to pray for my wonderful husband. I know that he would slay dragons for me and I would do the same for him.
We laugh at ourselves because we are quite the couple now...we used to think we were pretty cool when we were young and skinnier and 'gorgeous' AND could do a mean jitterbug! Now, I am quite the sight for sore eyes with my 3-10 hairs on my head and I am a little chunkier monkey I might add. Mark has short term memory loss after these episodes, so I am sort of responsible (sic) for remembering what we are doing and where we are going so sometimes we sort of go in circles...HA! HEY! I think we can still jitterbug in circles though :)
I woke up with the thought " get the flashlights to add Mark on their prayer list and to pray for him as they pray for you." Mark is everywhere that I am , even when I am stepping into the unknown places of this journey, he is always at my side, so he needs the Lords light to shine the way as well. Your prayers give us strength.
I think that this is another God night class and He reminded me that I am not alone.
Off I go to eat something...and clean out another closet or two...or three.

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
Good Morning Mama! As I read your blog this early morn,(4a.m is morning to me) How Great is Our God popped in my head. The last chemo session you had this song came on and I belted it out like I do and cried which made my already not so good voice worse. It was a great release though. I shouted at God "I'm so mad at you! Why!?" After my temper tantrum I had a sense of pure calm. Like it was okay that I was mad. I listened to the song again and really tried to listen. I pictured you and Dad at Green Acres and all these "flashlights" standing around you. Most of us can't be there physically but spiritually we are holding you both tight. I guess I have thought of you and Dad as one and thought praying for you meant that is praying for him. But, Dad needs us too and you are so right (as always;)) Please tell Dad goodmorning and squeeze him for the D. Goodans and thank you for reminding me to pray with "detail". Love you Mother! I'm off to see your little sister today:)
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLT
As I read this I pictured you and Mark standing back to back, and of course with Jesus as the third strand...the creep (satan) is loosing ground with you because of all your flashlights lifting you up, but remember...you are back to back so he is covered too! I agree with Summer, my prayers will be more "detailed"! What an awesome song...How Great is Our God?? Darkness DOES tremble at His voice!! So does cancer and seizures in Jesus name! We love you ALL so much!
I love the comment by Summer, that she always thought of you two as one and that her prayers covered you both...that truely is testiment that you two are one because you are seen as one. Your vocation of marriage had shone out strongly.
Hi Mark and Julie, I hope today has found both of you feeling better than the day before. My thoughts are with you and my prayers surround you. I love guys, Michele
