My mom has recently expressed that she feels God is preparing her for a journey. A journey from this earth to a place of ultimate healing and perfection. Though at times she is sad for what she will miss out on on this earth, she has an overwhelming sense of peace and feelings of excitement and anticipation for her journey to Heaven. She has described the moments when she is in pain as like childbirth. As someone that has recently gone through the pain of childbirth, I know exactly what she is describing. Although the pain is intense, the excitement of what is to come overwhelms the pain. As the pain intensifies, so do these feelings of excitement and anticipation. One new mom I know described these feelings as like Christmas. You just can not wait for the sweet, precious gift that is to come and the pain you are experiencing is just one step closer to that gift. That is how my mom is feeling, with each twinge of pain, she knows that she is drawing closer to her Ultimate gift and healing, which is going to be with Christ! How awesome is that!!

The Utlimate Gift
"How is your Mom?" This seems to be the question of the day for all of us. I am asked this multiple times each day. So, how is she? She is doing pretty good. She is still feeling fairly well and getting around great. My mom's situation is unique in that she is still relatively healthy and fairly symptom free. Her body and immune system have not been beaten down with chemo or radiation or any other painful treatment. God had blessed us with this special time where she is feeling well and can enjoy each day. And we are enjoying our days, we spend them laughing and having fun. This past month, we have made so many precious memories that I know we will always treasure. Although there are times of sadness and tears, overall this is a happy time for all of us. We all know without a doubt, that our sweet mom will be going to a better place and that we will see her again. We will not be saying "Goodbye" but "See You Later".
