New Beginnings

Tonight is New Beginnings at Germantown Ward. Devree has been asked to lead the music and we are bringing Emma too. Devree has had a kind of bad morning because she got coughing and did the "v" word. I hope she is feeling okay. We have a kind of a long day. We had to be here at 8am and our appointments don't get over till 4:30. I am hoping to make one of the appointments earlier or reschedule for another day. Most of the time the hospital is so good about letting us reschedule.

I forgot to say that Noble called the night before last from the cruise ship. He had been on the ship for hours and he hadn't left port. He had explored and found out all of the fun things there are to do and I was so very happy because he had "THE FUN" back in his voice. He tends to internalize his emotions sometimes and I know Devree having cancer has been especially hard on him because some students ask "Is Devree going to die?" That is a question as a family we don't ask ourselves. But if we were to answer we would say "Yes. All of us will die someday." We are trying to be positive, pray and have faith. Noble deserves to have some fun. Sometimes I think he goes around looking and feeling sad because he doesn't get those feelings out. So now I hope he really does have a lot of fun. He has earned the money and NOW is his time to have some fun.

Today is Celest's birthday. She is still a very young spring chicken! Breck, Celest and I are going to meet and go out for lunch for her birthday. Devree is going to rest for New Beginnings tonight. For those of you who don't know what New Beginnings is, it is a program for the young women in our church who turn 12. It is a special program to help them enter Young Womanhood.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
