Hello, My Amazing Family and Friends!

You've all been busy! James 5:16 “…The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” 

Thank you! Your prayers have made this end of the week incredible. I am feeling G.R.E.A.T!

In fact, Scott was a little shocked at how much I can do now. (At least he knows I wasn't just being lazy.) I haven’t been this “active” mentally or physically since November! And my taste for food has returned. (In my pre-cancer world, this would NOT be a good thing.) I still don’t have a huge desire to eat and I get full fast, but TASTE has returned. Yay!

It’s strange. How can one not like cookies? True story. I also hated any kind of cheesy, melty dip. Blech! And pretty much everything else, too. But not now. Bring it on! I’ve been trying to taste all that I’ve not liked for the past week or so. Just because I can. And I know that next week will be a different story. What a strange thing how quickly our tastes can be altered. Wouldn’t I make a lot of money with a tonic that did this—made you not desire food. Unfortunately, it’s already been manufactured. It’s called chemo. I do NOT recommend it for weight loss. Just don’t.

As always, thank you so much for all your support and your powerful prayers. It’s a blessing to witness. I pray for all of you, that you receive a special blessing for being so kind and supportive to me and my family. You ARE making a difference and producing “wonderful results”!

Have a beautiful and blessed Sabbath and a wonderful weekend with your beloved friends and family.

    So glad food tastes good again. That would get discouraging. With your positive attitude I truly believe you can do anything. Our prayers are still with you Sarah. May God bless you with continued healing and encouragement. Love.....

    Awesome Sarah! I'm so glad your taste is returning. I would be devastated to not enjoy food. Your positive outlook is so inspiring. I feel so privileged to pray for you. Happy Sabbath to you and your family.

    Sounds like you are ready to try taking a cookie, and scooping up a big wad of cheesy melty dip with it. Wait... there's already a demographic subset of humans that survive on such things. They are called bachelors. May I suggest making a sandwich out of pop tarts and cheese whiz? Looking forward to seeing you and the whole awesome family tomorrow, unless you are on the road. Have an awesome Sabbath!

    With my apologies to Tigger (from Winnie-the-Pooh fame): The wonderful thing about food, is that food is a wonderful thing . . . Enjoy your Feast day today!
