We all experience God in different ways and are called to do different things in His name. Since my original diagnosis in 2007 He has used this to open conversations and to show people how much He loves us. I have walked along side and been a support to family and friends, as well as been supported; I wouldnt've asked for cancer but, I wouldn't change what He is using it for, for anything.This is what God and I are working on now, the aftermath.

And God answers another prayer
So where would you like me to start other than stating the same repetitive garble about how this blog will only allow me to type in HTML mode and gives me a hard time every time I try to link an awesome song for you all to listen to. I think something else is going on. I think there's other powers at work here trying to deter me from getting Gods awesomeness out there. I am aware that 'awsomeness' is not a real word but it fits and my best friend and 'little sis' Elisa and I have a list called Mel's made up words because sometimes words come out of my mouth and they're actually not real words but they make sense in the sentence I use them in most of the time we have to stop and think if it's an actual word or not (laugh) I think I do it a lot more but most people don't have the heart to tell me, I wish they did because compiling the list is actually quite entertertaining for me to go back and look at so if I use a Mel's made up word please tell me. So, I don't know whether to start with the great news or make you wait....yup you'll have to read the blog before I tell you OR you can skip the .................................................................................................................................. represents the analogy I thought would be to controversial so I decided against it but wanted you to know that there was something else intended to be there I dont know why I wanted you to know i just did. Anyway I'm totally getting sidetracked, I'm listening to music and typing at the same time. Multi-tasking with brain cancer, clearly not a good idea. I started boxing 2 weeks today. Awesome, body is actually holding up pretty good considering how long it's been since it's done anything that requires any type of energy. Today my legs are quite sore from all the lunges with weights I did on Tuesday. A good sore, but sore none the less. I go with my friend Kim from Elite so we encourage eachother. It's very hard for me because before I was a big fish in a small pond now i'm starting all over and it's very humbling, noone wants to partner with the girl who doesn't know what she's doing or has physical limitations and is so out of shape. It's a shot to the pride which is good don't get me wrong I have no doubt we all need to be taken down a few notches through out our lives but when it's you getting taken down it's hard. Kim has been very encouraging and Elisa did warn me that everything I learned previously was not the same as boxing but I didn't actually believe her, well I was so wrong. That ego got slammed down pretty quick. Again sidetracked but important things to learn from me, things that God is teaching me...humility ugghhhhhh hard lesson and no doubt it's only the beginning. My school has been delayed. I'm registered and ready to rock'n'roll but the Abnormal Psychology course that I am registered for is being revised so it's not starting now until the end of May or mid June. I figure they know I'm taking it so they want to make sure that it's challenging enough because they know that I have a very special brain, it's not common and doesn't work like others. (giggling to self) I went on a women's retreat with my church the first weekend in May. Can I just say 2 words? Well I'm going to anyway. REST & AWESOME God spoke to me and showed me so much, I met new people and deepened relationships with others. I giggled all weekend with a friend and just couldn't stop, her laughter is contagious. I can now rest in knowing that not everyone is going to like me and that's ok. I have been a huge people pleaser and peace keeper my entire life so to come to this realisation is a huge revalation and only through the eyes of God was I able to see that. I learned that I can be content outside of my circumstances. I had a vision of someone surrounded by pure chaos there was all these different 'things'(typewriters, papers, computers,all technological gizmos) flying around them and if you can imagine the old school comics that said things like ZAP BING BOP ZING all of those words and lightening bolts were flying in and out and then this person got up and stepped on foot at a time outside of this chaotic thing and just stood there in complete silence looking at this chaotic mess. In complete contentment. Peace. Ok, recap, Boxing, school, retreat,...Alex is still loving her job so keep praying for her please and thank you. So I guess all that's left is the end of the blog which is the best part and you've all been waiting for. My weight is approximately 117 lbs. My hair is starting to grow back and I have a little pixey cut (sp). My liver enzymes were just checked and it turns out they are the lowest they've been since April 2013. Which is a massive answer to prayer. It is actually a miracle. So God gets a massive shout out for that one!!! So I think that's about it, well that's an awful lot for one blog, I have an MRI on the 21st and the results on the 28th of this month and nothing exciting coming up, just chill for now and get my body in shape and get my mind ready to rock out the Ab. Psyc. BRING IT ON!!! Please click on the title for the song. And please close your eyes and be ready to chill, grab your favourite God something, something that comforts you and just chill. I know I say that about songs but this time I'm totally serious, so please do it. It's a song that we heard at the retreat. Bless you all. Me:)
