Life is Good

I am so proud of my children.   Lacey took an intership with Children's Miracle Network this past week and started her beginning with them with a BANG.   They had their annual radiothon this week, and we reflected over last year, when Laynie ended up in the hospital for what we know now, was the beginning to our ending.  Well, this year was very different.  In addition to hearing the "Laynie montage" over and over on KXY 96.1, Lacey talked several times on the radio and got to share A L O T about her walk and the enormity of the beauty.  Dan & Bill and Patti (the DJ's) all remembered Laynie (who could forget her?) and loved talking about her with Lacey.   I was on once, and was a big giant dork machine (which is what I do best), and thankfully the radio went silent during most of my spiel, so I didn't sound completely crazy.  It's funny how you KNOW what you want to say, and then when you actually GET UP THERE to say it, you just lose brain power.  That's my story, but it's sure not Lacey's.  She is amazing.

Now Kip, in her final two semesters of her 5 year architecture program.  In addition to going to school full time..She got not one, but 2 jobs this week.  Part time at a retail store at our mall, for the seasonal rush, and then the best and biggest blessing, she will be working with the Lymphoma/Leukemia Foundation, as a recruiter.   What an amazing job for her.  She will be able to share her story with hundreds of kids and teachers and rally them to do fundraisers in their school to support the Lymphoma/Leukemia Foundation.  (big ole smile from Mom, here).

And I can't forget Hallie, who is hauling in a 4.0 in middle school.  SHe loves to talk about Laynie, and has no problem telling anyone the story.

Could any of us have done this 3 years ago??  Boldly shared our faith and talked about God's mercy and love, to just about ANYONE that walks by??  I don't think so.  But we are different.  All because of a tiny little miracle that taught us all.

God is Good, all the time.
