The Servant's Quarters

The good and the bad (but no ugly) for today -

Talked to Mom earlier. She's still plenty sore. But everything else is breaking her way, including the final hurdle after her surgery. She spoke to the doctor's office today. All the biopsies from the surgery came back negative. As of last Thursday, Mom is CANCER FREE!!!! Now, we just have to keep her that way. Her shunt is being inserted on August 7. I imagine that chemotherapy will begin the week after.

Another budding commercial star has emerged in our household. Isaac has been invited to audition for the Little Caesars pizza commercial as well. Also, the date in the e-mail I received yesterday was wrong. The auditions are actually on Thursday, July 27. That's the day after tomorrow!!!! WAHOOOO!!!! We'll see how it goes. Hopefully, everyone (including Dad) will at least get some pizza out of the deal.

Tomorrow, Rita has to drive to downtown Detroit and report for jury duty. Crud. This is a major hassle. I'm going to have to miss more work. We've managed to get a sitter for most of the day tomorrow, but if this lasts more than a day, we are going to be in some serious trouble.

God, YOU are awesome in power. You're great in majesty. You are glorious and worthy of all praise. In the scheme of things, this is actually a very minor thing. Compared to cancer, it is nothing more than a minor nuisance. I know that You will open the way for us to overcome any obstacles that appear in our path. I will trust You, for You will not forsake us.

Amen.
