Excitement is in the air this morning! I feel it. It is going to be a great year. It is the first day of school for Luke and Connor and the weather is cool here, it definitely feels like fall. But my excitement is more than that. It is deep in my spirit. I feel as if I have come through the other side of a storm. I saw my neurologist yesterday and we worked out a new medication regime for those weird migraines that paralyzed me this summer and she suggested that I may not even need the daily medication for long. I guess when someone who deals with brain tumors on a regular basis then deals with a patient who has migraines she has the opportunity to remind them that they are NOT in fact dying and will be just fine. She was very kind. By being so ill this summer I lost a lot of time, progress on my art, my career and time with my family. But I know God will bring it all back to me, 10 fold. It is weird how I feel that so strongly but I really do. I have a little card on my desk with this scripture, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jer.29:11 I clung to that all summer and the words have settled deep in my soul and I cannot contain how exciting that is to me. Hooray, it is going to be a very exciting year!
