Today, July 29th, is our 30th anniversary! YEAH! That deserves a giant WOOHOO. :-)
We are SO grateful for each and every year. Thirty years ago we were fresh out of college and in love. We didn't know all the roads we were going to walk down or how the journey would unfold. BUT...God has been with us throughout this marriage journey...and we are SO thankful to Him for blessing our marriage. We are not so "fresh" or young but we are still in love. I'm so thankful for my precious husband. I am blessed.
We're going to celebrate tonight with just going out somewhere for dinner, but our BIG celebration was that we went to Hawaii for 8 days in July. That was incredible!
We were on the Garden Island, Kauai, and it was just amazing and gorgeous. There were mountains and the ocean and a deep canyon and sunsets and rainbows! It was so beautiful. God blessed us with a wonderful time.
It's been awhile since I've written on my blog, but I think I just needed to take a break from it for awhile. I'm going to get back to writing at least once a week. I still very much want prayers for continued health, so I'll try to write about what is going on with me so you can pray more specifically.
My next test date is August 14th. I will have a CT scan of my trunk area, once again checking organs, and then a bone scan of my whole body. If you talk to cancer survivors you will hear us talk about the anxiety of coming up to a test. I don't want to be anxious. I want to walk in complete trust and faith in the Lord. But the truth is there is a mental battle that Satan uses. Lots of negative questions come to my mind. Instead of me just trying to fight this battle alone, I've tried to be honest with family and friends and ask for prayer...to send away the thoughts and any fear, any doubts. So, please do keep all this covered in prayer. Thanks.
Lord,
Thank You for this special day, that I am here, well and strong and rejoicing in You. Thank You for all You have done to bless us for 30 years! What a generous and loving God You are!!! I give all praise to You, O Lord, for Your faithfulness to walk with us. Thank You for our children, our family, our friends.
Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You...
With love to You, O Lord,
Lisa

WOW! Way to go, guys! What a legacy you're giving your kids.
I continue to keep you in prayer, and I'm glad for updates to know specifically what to pray for. I can remember the 14th, as that's my birthday, so I will pray for you then!
Love you!
