In Christ Alone our Hope is Found

Business first: So, this is week 6 of memorizing. How's it going ladies? I am struggling a little. I will persevere! Philipians 2:10,11 So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. __________________________________________________________________________________ Pretty rambly.... Just working it out in my mind.... Today, I took Micah in for his 3 month check up. His Doctor is a love and I was so thankful to see her. She has a little girl, who is about a week younger than Grace. She went on mat leave and then I have just missed her the last few times. She has been on holidays or away. So we haven't had an appointment with her for about 1 and half years. It's strange how fast time has gone. Micah is in great health as far as we can tell. He is dependent on a puffer, but that is it. That is pretty good considering! She was very pl...

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love family pictures. Having my family documented to keep forever makes me happy. It also is extra special because we are coming up to the 4 year mark of Micah's diagnoses and he is here with us to be in the pictures. What a special blessing that is. I often feel relieved to have them done. It means that we have captured Micah the way he is right now, so if something happens in the next few months, we have him in beautiful pictures, that will be here with us for the years to come. I have many, many pics put in a drop box for me to look through and pick. Sooooo, I am going to start weeding through them., by putting them on my blog. So this time I am going to do Grace. I am going to put my favourite few up and then look at my blog tomorrow with fresh eyes and pick the one I want to go on the wall. It is a major process people! (o; I love the 4rth one. It is her princess look. But the other ones, show different sides of her. I also like the brig...

It's been a rough week emotionally. A young girl that we did treatment with the first time passed away yesterday. Our hearts are broken for the Norbury family. It also hurts us on a different level because cancer isn't so far from our minds.   The last few weeks, this blog has been so serious with so much writing. It's time for some pictures just for fun. I haven't been taking many pics lately. That is a good sign. It means I am relaxed and secure with where we are in regards to Micah. I am not trying to capture every single moment of every single day, "just in case." I am thankful! They are mostly of Grace! (O: Siah and his cousin and friend Keagan! My new favourite picture!   She is concentrating so hard to get the lid on! Her new love! (o: Micah's self taken pic! Bad quality pic, but this is so Siah. Playing baseball in his underwear after his bath! My sister has a little guy named Jack. Her husband is away for a few weeks during the week f...

Good Day! It is Monday already! These weeks are going so fast! (o: I have to be honest and say that I have been struggling with my memory work. I am sure that it is all discipline. It is a matter of just doing it. This weeks memory verse is Psalm 56:3,4 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? This is one of my favourite verses ever! This one is in a Steve Green song that Micah and I often listened to on the the way to hospital during his first year of his treatment. It was/is precious to us.

So here I am on the evening of a clear scan report. We have had our hugs, tears, and smiles and thanked the Lord. Pizza has been eaten and surgary pop has been drunk. We just read our book about the Underground Railroad and the kids are tucked in. Natalie is sleeping on a mattress on Siah's floor, just for fun, because it's Friday night. Micah is tucked into our bed with my ipod, listening to an Odyssey. (He doesn't sleep there, he just likes falling asleep in there sometimes. It's warm and soft and he likes the comfort it brings him.) Ken has gone to the grocery store to grab a few things. He just needed to get out for a little quiet. Josh is away at a Junior Young People's party and here I sit in the beautiful peace and quiet. I feel the need to write, but don't know what to say. I am truly overwhelmed that God has blessed us in this way again. It feels like a whole new life has been given to us. The further we get away from cancer, the more precious each cl...

Dear People, Micah's scan is clear.  We are overjoyed and in awe of God's beautiful gifts.  I have no other words. In Him, Belinda

I am sorry ladies, it has been a strange week for me.  Here is the next verse. I love this one. It gives you the option of learning vs 8 with it. Ps 62:5-7   5 For God alone, O  my soul, wait in silence,    for my hope is from him. 6  He only is my rock and my salvation,    my fortress; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God rests my  salvation and my glory;    my mighty rock,  my refuge is God. Have a good week.
