Please pray for my friend's mother in law. She just finished a huge fight with breast cancer, had her breast removed in a painful surgery, and was told that the cancer was entirely gone. After about a week and a half (in which her entire family was VERY relieved and happy with the news) they found what they thought was an infection in her lung.
As this meant she couldn't start her chemotherapy, they checked it out. And it turned out to be lung cancer. Please, PLEASE pray for her. She's a beautiful, strong woman, but after being told it was finished, it was heartbreaking for her to hear this news. Her family is not ready for this, and they're all having a very difficult time.
Please pray that the family finds calm and peace through this, and that the cancer can be treated. Also pray that she's in very little pain through the procedure. The cancer is a level 3 out of 4 invasive. Thank you guys sooo much, pass on the news, and again, PLEASE remember to pray for her. They really need the prayers right now.
Love you guys!
PS: Her name is patsy.

Just thinking I suppose.
I realised last night that I have no idea what I want. I know what sort of things I like, what sort of things make me happy.. what make me sad, what I absolutely cannot stand, and what can give me the willies because it just seems to right. But I have absolutely no idea what I want.
This time last year I had decided I wanted to do some teaching, writing, travelling.. you know, the usual Humanities studying student ideal. But thinking about it, I realised I did NOT want to teach (don't get me wrong, some enjoy it.. I don't.) writing is obviously still such a passion that it can bring me to tears when I'm frustrated with writers block, and I know it always will be... and travelling, yes I want to see the world, but I don't feel it's a necessity right now.
I want to study the classics, basically just dabble in Humanities until I've had my fill, I don't know if I even have the guts to stick to one specific degree (outside of the Italian studies, if I ever get around to it). I'm really indecisive. Maybe that's part of why I don't know what I want anymore? But then, at the same time, I've never felt quite so free as I have in not knowing what I want. It leaves it up to the wind. I might meet someone who'll knock me flat on my ass, and I could fall madly in love and end up a house wife making grilled cheese sandwiches and reading the paper. Or I could stay single forever, do some writing, have the occasional fun date, and just enjoy the time I get to spend in the now.
It's something I'm coming to like, the now.
It's scary too though, not having any idea. Any plans. I used to try and plan out my future like I would a grocery list. Things I'd see, things I'd do, people I'd keep and ones I wouldn't mind letting fall aside. But I don't think that's even living... that's just planning for a future that'll bend and shape itself no matter WHAT you've written down. Haha, it's so strange.
For all I know, I may very well try to go zorbing down some giant hill, end up a quadrapoligic in the very house I work in right now, lol. Or a flaming homo, haha. Gosh, wouldn't THAT be interesting!
Anyway, that's just what's been going through my head lately. I can't decide if I'm fully happy with it or not, but it feels nice to just be out with it. Not the flaming homo thing, I'm not being out about that, hahaha.. but the freedom of being fine with having absolutely no clue, or care, about what's coming. But no matter what, I'll keep you posted :).
Much love,
Beth
