Almost Giveaway Time:)

Tomorrow is the day. Just last year I did not think I would even be here to have a giveaway. It is exciting, emotional and very special to be able to celebrate with everyone how wonderful life is. Every morning and every night I thank God for giving me another day. So much has happened and I have learned so much. I am doing all things through Him.

I am excited about my giveaway. First of all it super fun. Who wouldn't want extra $40 to spend. Second reason I get to meet new people in the blog world. Last reason is promote my business. The more people you tell the more women I can help. I need your help to get Cindy's Hope Chest out and people visiting my website.

Thank you for continuing to pray for my house. I am excited to see what happens this week. Off to decide what I am going to sign up for at the She Speaks Conference.

Savannah is doing much better-thanks for praying for her.

Pray

Hey everyone ok I sooooo need some heavy praying. I am fine and the family is fine too!! WE are showing the house on Sat!! WE have not had a call in so long. So I figured if I had tons and tons praying for my house to sell that would be great. I really want the girls to have a place in Charlotte to call home and give them some stability. My family has been very generous but I know they need some family time too. So Pray pray.

Love

Cindy Hope Chest Fundraisers

This Sat at Lake Park- Yard Sale at the Church and Donut Sales....All my local friends hope you stop by:)

What is the giveaway and when????

OK so I decided since I was scared last year that I may not see my 40th birthday. Yes I said 40. I promised as much I complained about 35 that I did not want to be 40 I really do. So much has happened in the last yr and half that I have been looking forward to every birthday. What cancer can do to you. Well it is here, coming around the corner. I don't want a party but I do want to celebrate with other women fighting like a girl. So what better way then to have all of you promote my organization. Cindy's Hope Chest is my baby. So I am thanking all of you for being a part of my journey and giving me hope and encouragement. The fight is still not over and I am not taking it lightly but I am ready to have some fun and enjoy life. Praising God for all he has given me.

Concussion, amnesia.....fb virus and it ends in a PRAISE!

Last Wed I received a call that Mommy's don't want to hear. Savannah has fallen and is not herself. She does not have memory of it or a window of time before. Mike and I jumped in the car to meet her at the hospital. It was the strangest thing. As many times as my three have bumped their head and had a big goose egg Savannah had no bump no blood. The Dr was very good with her. He explained how concussions work and she had a classic concussion. The amnesia is normal and she will always have it. I was totally scared. I can not even explain our visit. It makes me too sad to talk about it. She was saying and acting like I have never seen before. Everyday is a healing day for her. Headaches and dizzy for her. Pray for her.


Of course during all of this I received my first computer virus. By now I'm pretty mad. I thinking great so I have not been blogging much because my computer is on the blink.

Friday I was asking God to give me a break. I just felt like I have had enough right now. It was not much later that I received a phone call. It was from Proverbs 31 Ministries. She was very sweet. She said that there was a lot of people who have been following my story. I was very flattered but I am sooooo grateful to have all of you. You have pulled me through the battle of my life this far. She ask me if I knew about the She Speaks Conference. Of course I do a lot of my blogger friends are writers and I read their blogs. You might remember I met one of my friends for the first time while she was in town for the conference. She follows with that I am receiving a full scholarship to the conference in July. I was overwhelmed and felt very blessed. Once I got off the phone my first thought was God was telling me everything is OK. I have your back. Keep on going you have a business to run and I expect you to change and touch these women's lives. I have learned so much through my journey that I just want to pay it forward. Thank you for letting me do it. Please check out www.cindyshopechest.org

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! If you know anyone who is undergoing treatments for breast cancer please let me know:)
