Who would have thought a year and a half ago, that I would be excited to say that I was going to MD Anderson? I don't know if excited is the correct word, but I do have a complete peace about going and the opportunity that will be before me. I called my surgeon and oncologist today to see about getting a referral and wanted a peace about the direction of going to Tulsa or Houston. By noon today, the oncologist nurse called me to let me know the referral was being sent and that my doctor would be calling me later in the day. Around 5:00pm I received her phone call and she was on board with sending me to MD Anderson without any hesitation. She believes this is a positive move for me. I was told that MD Anderson should contact me within the next week. I truly feel this is confirmation from the Lord in Him directing my path. Everything moved so quickly today, just from a phone call made this morning.
Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Thank you to all that prayed over this decision and the encouragement that my family has received about this next chapter.
Tony and I were blessed to drive to Bartlesville, OK today to see our family. Chris (Tony's son) and family were there for a wedding. They live in Houston and we wouldn't have missed an opportunity to spend time with them being so close. We were able to eat lunch with them and hang out while the kids swam. It is amazing how fast time goes by. When Tony and I married, Chris was only 14 years of age and now he has his own family and is the pastor of an amazing church in Houston. We will be blessed to spend more time with them while at MD Anderson and thankful for God's timing and provisions.

Thank you Pate family for blessing us today. I am so thankful God allowed me to feel so good to make the drive and hang out with our amazing family.
