Life has been full these past few months, and I realize I’ve been quieter than usual. A little update to explain my absence:
My husband has been walking through the challenges of a pituitary tumor, and that has taken much of my heart and focus. At the same time, I started a new job back in April managing 35 amazing people. Right now we are in the thick of budget season, and I’ve had a crash course in accounting as I now oversee accounts payable. Let me just say—budgeters and accountants see the world completely differently!
I’ve also been navigating my own health struggles with OPLL (Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament). I had spine surgery in 2020 that made a huge difference for my cervical spine, but the condition has now progressed to my thoracic and lumbar areas. These days my fingertips are completely numb, and some days it feels like I’m walking with cement blocks tied to my feet. It’s a daily challenge, but I’m pressing forward and learning to give myself grace.
So yes, I’ve been stretched a bit thin, and I’m grateful for your patience and understanding—I haven’t forgotten you. 💙
On a brighter note, our family has some wonderful news: grandbaby #5 is due February 11! Another sweet grandson, bringing the count to 4 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. My heart is so full. 💙💙💙💙💖
Through it all—the hard days, the long nights, and the unexpected blessings—I hold on to the truth that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness, and His goodness continues to shine through every chapter of my life. ✝️✨
