I literally just checked my email and received some news I definitely was not expecting.
A friend of mine from the MOMS Club just found out she has a tumor on her brain and is undergoing surgery at Duke University. She and her husband have a son who will be 2 in October, so I'm sure this is especially scary for them. HOWEVER, it is times such as this that, as a Christian, I MUST turn to the One who ordained every circumstance in this young couple's lives. Here are some promises to help me, my friend, and all of you in cyberspace get through various trials in life. Please keep them in your prayers, and also us as a Club so we can better know how to serve her family at this time. Thanks!

How cute are the new pictures? I can't wait to see you all on Saturday.
I resent an invite to Ryan's page. Hope it works better this time.
I live 2 hours from Duke and can help with anything if they need some help. Just let me know.
