Will be praying HEALTH over you this year, Steve! And perseverance as you climb that hill. Remember the view is always best from the top of the mountain. Love you!

Poignant and inspiring, Paula. You are so perceptive on man behavior and how we have to make light of what scares us – it’s in our wiring. And particularly when we feel the most helpless and want more than anything in the world to help protect our loved ones. We do what we can to reassure them we can adapt and life will go on, no matter what the life challenge. It’s the, “No hill for a climber,” approach — no matter how truly terrified we are. Anything less is perceived as weakness and letting the person we love down. My word for 2015 is “Health” – because as we age the health risks seem to multiply and without it we lose our independence and are unable to care for those we love. Hugs/love to you and family!

Ami: I think men make light of things that scare them. I did not think it was funny when Scott joked about a wooden leg, but I knew I needed to laugh with him. So grateful we still have our legs and our husbands. Hope to see you sometime soon. I’m praying God restores and transforms you this year. 🙂

Henry: I emailed you and would be honored to have you repost the blog. If you email me back your word for the year I will pray it over you. Happy New Year friend!

My word this year is WATCH, derived from Col. 4:2, “Devote yourself to prayer, being WATCHful and thankful.” I also sense God telling me to WATCH and see what He will do in the year ahead. I love that your word last year was WRITE–and see what happened! It took a direction you never expected but became something better altogether. And I love that this year’s word is REJOICE. I’m there rejoicing with you, dear friend. (And can’t wait to read your new ms!)

When I told Matt my biopsy came back as malignant melanoma the first thing out if his mouth was, “are they going to cut your leg off…we’ll call you Aileen!” Ugh, I didn’t know if I was going to cry or kill him…it is still a scar on my heart 10 years later. I should have told him I’d rather have a wooden leg to beat him with…haha! Regardless, God spared anyone from both of our families a beating with artificial limbs…we can all rejoice about that!

Hi, Paula.
This post really ministers to me. The physical representation of throwing the negatives away and keeping the positives speaks volumes.
Would you mind if I re-posted it on my blog as a guest blog?
Email me to let me know. I’m OK with it if you would rather not.

Blessings.
