Hello everyone!
When I picked up Raegan last night, she was all smiles, and she went over to a little girl (a new friend) and hugged her goodbye. I was happy and relieved that she adapted so well, and made a new friend. As she left, she waived, and said, "See you all tomorrow!" I guess that answers my question about her comfort level, and it will be easier to drop her off tomorrow.
As we drove away, I made a wrong turn (not surprising...directions are not my strength!) and decided to turn down another road in order to turn around. As I made the turn, all of the sudden, in front of me was one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen. I saw beautiful snow capped mountains and the clouds were hanging very low around the peaks. The sun was peeking through the clouds and the light was reflecting off of the hills around the mountains. It took my breath away! It was almost as if God had said, "take this turn...I have something to show you!" I felt like I had stumbled onto one of the most beautiful spots in Reno! I said out loud to Raegan. "Look at the beautiful mountains God made!" She said, "Mommy God isn't here." I replied, "Raegan, God is always with us." In her sweet four-year-old way she said, "I don't see him.....did he take a walk?" I laughed for awhile, and then, I thought....yes, the same God who made these mountains is walking with me each and every moment. He doesn't miss anything, and He will be with me tomorrow and the next. What an amazing thing! It gives me such peace. Finally, I saw a sign that indicated I would eventually get to the road I needed so I stayed with the detour route and just took in the beauty! I may be taking this detour often.
I started feeling more energy Tuesday evening after treatment, and I still feel better today. The muscle pain has improved immensley! I know I still have a long road, but I am so grateful for the good days!
Thank you again for all of your prayers and support!
Suzanne, tell Presley, "Seth's mom really appreciates that he is such a good friend to Seth!"

Hey Ronda,
I am so glad you are journaling your experiences and sharing them with me! I felt like I had received a devotional from one of the professional Bible companies online. The beautiful picture of your family with your beautiful gift of the scene that God wrapped up just for you! I believe it too. He has a way like that. I'm thrilled to hear that after your treatment your muscle pain has reduced. What an amazing answer to prayer. If there is anything you need from our family, please let us know. Thanks for keeping up with us. Love, Joan
