In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

Make a wish!

Today is a very special day! In fact, I think I feel a song coming on!!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday my dear Sweet Hubby...
Happy birthday to you!!

And being Wednesday, it was also chemo day...so I baked my Sweet Hubby's favorite cupcakes last night (yellow with milk chocolate frosting), boxed them up and we took them to chemo to share with patients and staff.

Then it was home for a dinner of meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and corn. Because today is all about my Sweet Hubby and that sounded good to him - so good that he had seconds!

And guess what was for dessert? You got it!

Happy Birthday sweetheart...you are my everything and I love you with all my heart. Now, close your eyes and make a wish!

"Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my birth He has made mention of my name." Isaiah 49:1

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
