Okay I have been out for a bit but hey it is just a blog:) Here are some highlights... My dad was diagnosed with cancer about 5 weeks ago and we were taken aback by that but we took it in stride and they removed his kidney and in turn the cancerous tumor, two weeks later my mom went in for stomach surgery and they found a tennis ball sized tumor in her stomach and they cut out 50% of her stomach. The tumor came back as cancer and now we are having to look at chemo and radiation. I am not really sure how I take this news because it is really scary but I am really bad about mentally checking out of tough situations and just walking through them and I kinda feel that I am doing this here and just taking it day by day. My wife has even asked me "Aren't you sad, and my response is yes but I just am taking it as it comes". I guess this is just a survival mode that we go into when things get tough... Today I have started my fight. By fight I mean my battle against what has happened to most of my family and that is putting on the weight and just settling. I have put on too much weight and now I am fighting back I have a target of being 185 by summer. I am doing this the old fashioned way of running, lifting weights, drinking water and eating better. I am really pushing myself to do this so I am laying off of most fast food and going to bed earlier so I can wake up at 6:00am to work out. I am excited about the next phase of my life, I graduate from EMT school in two weeks and will be doing that part time for a bit but I think I have a nack for it and really enjoy the this field. My wife and kids are healthy and I Praise God for that daily and I am part of a growing vibrant ministry that is about seeing lives changed for Christ, I don't think it gets much better than this.
God is good:)
