Life's Ups and Downs

I know it has been a while since I blogged. Things can get very busy in just a minutes notice. I have a lot to report.

First, homeschooling is just going great. We have joined a homeschool program here and we are having great fun. They have parties on special holidays and then they have some really neat stuff. We witnessed a Geography Bee yesterday. They have one every year and we watched to see if we wanted to do it. My 6 yr old loved it and wants to participate next year. We also learned they have a Spelling once a year and also a Science Day, which is coming up in April. We are super excited about this. My 6yr old is talking about what he will do for that day. It is sorta like a Science fair, you can do a project, poster anything to do with science, which is a subject my children are very interested in.

Around Christmas my grandfather started falling, he had spells of just falling and then he would be fine. He had a really bad spell at my Dad's on Sunday and they took him to the hospital. After lots of test, a week of running back and forth, we found out that he had a bone spur on a vertebra. It was causing a lot of problems and the vertebra had to be removed and replaced with a donor bone. He went thru the surgery fine and is doing very well, he goes this week for a checkup. Praise God, we prayed hard and he was with my grandfather all the way.

On Sunday my mother in law called to tell us that they thought she might have cancer again on her spine. I prayed hard because I know cancer of the bone if very difficult. She went for a body scan on Monday. Today she saw the doctor and he said she did not have cancer on her spine or bone. There is something there but it is not cancer, she goes back for more test to see what it is. We are so glad it is not cancer. The Lord has blessed her again.

My sister is really sick right now. I will not go into detail because I don't know if she would want me to post about it or not. I have not gotten her permission. However she is really sick and needs prays.

So it has been very busy for us, lots and lots of praying, of course we should do that anyway but it seems we have prayed a lot lately for healing. The Lord has been merciful and I know he will be with my sister thru her illness. Just please keep us in your prays.

May God Bless you all : )
