Everyone everywhere, lift up your joyful shout to God! Sing your songs tuned to his glory! Tell the world how wonderful he is. For he’s the awe-inspiring God, great and glorious in power! We’ve never seen anything like him! Mighty in miracles, you cause your enemies to tremble. No wonder they all surrender and bow before you! All the earth will bow down to worship; all the earth will sing your glories forever! Pause in his presence Everyone will say, “Come and see the incredible things God has done; it will take your breath away! He multiplies miracles for his people! Psalms 66:1-5 Today my sweet Mama had her last cancer treatment. This journey started November 2019 when her breast cancer returned and she had a bilateral mastectomy (on her birthday).

I have ZERO memory of eating any of the snacks Scott packed. In fact I apologized this morning for not eating anything and he was like, “um, there was an empty pecan log roll in your bag and a cracker wrapper under your hospital chair.” And. I. Die. What on earth? Praying all my years of working on my spiritual health made me the sweetest, Jesus loving crazy person. In seriousness, God has been so near and way too good to me and my family. The Emory nurses are angels and made me feel so cared for. I had a panic attack before they accessed my port and they had the Chaplain, Moira, come and be with me and she was such a calming presence. And, God has given me a beautiful
