There's a Light at the End of this Tunnel...

Well tomorrow is the day I have been dreading for 12 weeks now. The day I have to go back to work. Today - surprisingly enough - I have been o.k. Yesterday as I was driving to a doctor's appointment and the tears came, I prayed again that God would give me the strength and the courage to face this day and as I listened to the radio I prayed specifically that He would provide me some comfort in the form of a song. And this song "Tunnel" (by Third Day, I think) came on and the chorus was "There's a light at the end of this tunnel, there's a light at the end of this tunnel for you, for you." Is God amazing or what? This song provided so much comfort to me. Yes, tomorrow is going to be hard - it's going to suck actually - but at the end of the day I know that Michael and I and Maggie will get through it. There is a light at the end of this tunnel.

So today - a day I thought I would spend in tears - has been o.k. And it's totally a God thing. Every time my mind has gone to the task we face tomorrow that chorus starts running through my head reminding me that while it's going to be a tough few days - it won't last forever. Thank you God! And thank you all for your prayers - they have really helped!

Today I took Maggie to get some professional pictures done. Here are a few of the proofs. She did really well until the third outfit change and then she was having no more of this bright light flashing in her face!




I love this one of her on her tummy!

My friend, Tanya, made this darling feather wreath for one of my showers so I took it to the studio thinking that surely it could be used as a prop somehow! Here is the resulting picture. What you will not see is the resulting rash that Maggie developed after being encircled by all these pink feathers.

This was the only one in her third outfit that we could get with a smile. She does look darling all the same!

Love to all. Keep those prayers coming! We'll need them tomorrow!
