"Chemo Party"

My dear friend Kathy Hedges went with me to chemo today. Jordan joined us for lunch first then we headed to Highlands for treatment. Kathy is a prayer warrior for so many people.  She is a bible study leader for a group of amazing ladies on Monday nights and has been a part of seeing so many people come to know Jesus by her boldness for the Lord.  She taught me that when you tell someone you will pray for them, not to wait, but pray immediately.  She makes it a point when she is out eating to ask the  waiter/waitress if they have any needs she could pray for and uses the time she prays over the meal, to pray for them.  She has not only been a mentor to me, but has been an amazing mentor to Jordan.  It doesn't matter if you are a teenager, young adult or older adult, Kathy makes time to put you into her schedule to mentor and pray for you.  

While we were at chemo, Theresa and her daughter Jennifer showed up so Jennifer could tell us goodbye before heading back to Virginia today.  Jordan soon followed so she could see Jennifer one last time too.  It was like a party at chemo today.  So thankful for so much love and support from my friends and family.

Over the past few months God has given Theresa and I a passion to minister and pray for people while at Highlands.  Through that time we have bonded with a mom and daughter named Susan and Caroline.  They were at chemo today so I was able to introduce Kathy to them.  When Jordan came in I introduced her as well.  Through conversation, Jordan realized that Susan was her teacher in 6th grade at Springhill.  Susan's mom is the one receiving treatment.  Though it can be sad and difficult, it is a blessing seeing mom's and daughters supporting each other.

 Below is a fun song we sang in January at Passion 2013.  Just a small glimpse of what I feel like Heaven could be like, praising and worshiping with almost 70,000 people.  I am so thankful for this day and want to continue to give all the honor and glory to my Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is so good, all the time!
