A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Trial...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Trial...

Well this is a learning experience for me. I know the whisperings of the spirit tells me that I will be ok, and I trust in him. Getting through the process is another matter, and I have found it to be hard.

However there are blessings that have come this way. Not nessiarily because of my health, but of the Walker's problems, and Judy's health too.

Lynn, who is the oldest in his family, and Troy, who is the youngest, ( born while Lynn was on his Mission.) have developed a strong friendship, bond, of trust and honesty. They can depend on on each other and know that things said will not go anywhere.

They both look after their Sister, Judy, who can be a spit firing cannon, when she wants to be. She is also facing Chemo for lung cancer now.

It has been a week since I received my first Chemo. This week was like getting the worst case of the FLUE, you ever had. Every bone, and mussel hurts. No energy, no balance, cant think. Just vegetate and hope to get through it all. Sores in the mouth and throat, even my teeth hurt. Sharp pain in my head, ears and eyeballs. Sweating most all the time.
I am hoping this will last only this week, and I will be able to prepair for the next time.

I am surprised how many prayers are being offered in my behalf. I deeply appreciate the prayers, For I Know how Strong Prayers Are, and they ascend to the Maker Himself...
