Hi everyone!!!
Sorry it's been so long. I wanted to say the prayers and support have been amazing. Today is May 3 and I cant beive its beeen a month since surgery. I am still moving pretty slow. However the progress from last week to this week has been great. I am staying up longer periods during
the day. I am off all but one of my pain meds. I am still on a pain patch which has been a real help. It is good to have my thoughts clearing and feeling better all those narcotics just fuzzy my brain. I have not talked on the phone much , thank you all for understanding. Kevin is feeling better. He seems to do better mentally and sleep better when I am doing better. We are so excited about being able to be apart of a new Sunday school class starting this Sunday at our Church Faith FAmiliy Fellowship.
As if haveing such a successfull surgey wasn't enough we just feel like the Lord is answering
some long time prayers and petitions restoring those years the locust had eaten. Several of you have asked how you can help and felt kind of helpless,but I can tell you that I am at the place that if anyone would like to come clean my bathrooms or floors I would gladly except the help. Connie has been gone a week now and the kids and Kevin have done a great job holding it together ,but us moms know that sometimes its just needs an extra good mom scrub. I am not picky once or twice a week would be plenty. Joell palmer has been a sweety to help coordinate this effort at least until I am really on my feet again so those of you that know her may want to contact her. The childrens school Bay shore Christian has ministered to us through meals and will be doing so through May 23. Boy they have all hit a home run for us. I am not eating great yet and the smell of food is not the most appealing so my family has so appreciated their unique labor of love!!! We have been talking with our Med Onco. about te next step so as soon as we know something we will let you know. I can tell you taht Friday night MAy 4 I have been asked to speak at the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society in Daphne . The kick off is a 6:00 Pm @ Daphne Middle School .So any that would like to come out to support this cause we would love to see you! Well I have rattled enough thank you all for you love, your cards, calls, prayers and encouragements. The picture I added was of my Honey , Kevin the kids and Gary fishing one day while I was recouping. So when you want to know how the kids are . I think their doing great!!!! Godbless JEn

Jennifer,
I am so glad to hear you're doing well. I have followed your story for years now, more recently via Melissa H (my sister in law).
You may not remember me. I met you at the first women's mentoring group at FFF. I was at first just in awe of how beautful you are, then I was blown away when I heard how knowledgable of God's word you are.I remember thinking, "Wow, she's really on fire for the Lord!". You really inspired me and I've never forgotten you.
God is working a marvelous plan in you. He's picked the perfect vessel. You're still just as strong and faithful as ever. I'll be praying for your continued strength as you walk this path. I'll also give Joelle a call and see if I can come help you clean. I love to clean! God Bless!

After all these years of your prayers for me and my long journey, I can finally return the favor and have done so since the day of your diagnosis. I do agree that gossip and rumors are straight from the pitts of satan. I do hear awful gossip and rumors, but I do not move on them or believe them, I call my reliable source Mrs. Kimsley Mounts and turn to the Lord ALMIGHTY in prayer. Jen- we met in 1998 when I moved to spanish fort and you were there when I had my first child Dillon, you, Kev and Meredith were at my home. You have lifted us so much in prayer.Your spunk and sense of humor is still with you. Tonight as I spoke with you on the phone I am in awe of your faith. I am praying for a GRAND MIRACLE, GOD CAN DO IT! I will be praying daily, hourly for you, as you have done for me. I love you so much, and you are truly a gem. Your words of encoragement to me tonight were "IT IS NOT ABOUT US",always extending your hand, and loving, loving, loving. I am blessed to have you and your family in my life, even if it is from afar these days. FFF will always be in my heart, as you BUSBYS will be. GOD BLESS
