To God be the Glory!
My daddy got a call from the doctor on Tuesday morning saying that the spot on his right lung is NOT cancer! Praise the Lord! This just proves the power of prayer!
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has kept my daddy in their prayers over the past couple weeks! You are all my angels! It means the world to me to know that so many people care.
We truly serve an awesome God! He performs miracles daily! And for that I'm so thankful!
The doctors are still on the hunt to determine what the spot on his lung is and if it will ultimately need to be removed. But at this point, all we know is that there is no cancer. : ) YAY! He has an appointment next Thursday, June 2, with a pulmonary specialist. Hopefully they will be able to determine what is going on and why he is still losing so much weight.
If I can ask for one more favor... Please continue to pray that they will figure out what the spot is and pray that this will serve as a wake-up call to convince my daddy to stop smoking.
Thank you again for praying for our family! I love you all!

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1:2-8

Prayer Request
Today I come with a heavy heart. I know that I have been promising a post with a tutorial and photos of my bedroom lamp revamp... But I've been quite distracted...
My sweet daddy went to the doctor a few weeks ago for a routine physical and they found a "spot" on his right lung. At first the doctor was not concerned, but wanted to do another test to make sure. They did ex rays and a cat scan and the results weren't positive like they were hoping. But they still weren't sure what to make of the "spot". We were told it's about a 50% chance that it's cancer.
Today my daddy is going in for a pet scan at 2:00 to determine what it is. The "spot" is a sort of tumor. It is relatively small, but we are anxiously waiting to see if it is benign or malignant. And if it is cancerous, has it been contained to that one spot or is there more of it.
Please, please say a prayer for him and the doctors today. Pray for peace and comfort for my dad. I know that he would never tell me, but I know he has to be scared. I'm terrified. Pray for my mom that she can have peace and strength to be with my dad. Pray for the doctors that they can determine what it is and determine what needs to be done. Pray for me that I will have strength to get through this day as I wait.
My daddy is my world. He means everything to me and it is so scary to see the man who I once thought (and still kinda do) hung the moon, go through pain and anxiety! He is the first man I ever loved and I always will. He is one of the most important people in my life and I am terrified.
In times like this I turn to my heavenly Father. I have faith that no matter what happens, that God has a plan. He will never give me more than I can handle, even though at times it may seem like we can't handle it. By the grace of God, through Him, I can.

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,
casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
I am putting my trust in my Savior. I know that it is in His hands and that He will never leave me or forsake me. I am so thankful for a loving and faithful God.
If you could say a quick prayer for my daddy today around 2:00, I would be forever grateful.

I will leave you with the lyrics of this song. They have really been comforting to me the last few days.
Everything I Need - Kutless
When every step is so hard to take
And all of my hope is fading away
When life is a mountain that I can not climb
You carry me, Jesus carry me.
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
When every moment is more than I can take
And all of my strength is slipping away
When every breath gets harder to breathe
You carry me, Jesus carry me
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
I need You
You are everything I need
I love everything about You
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
And all of my hope is fading away
When life is a mountain that I can not climb
You carry me, Jesus carry me.
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
When every moment is more than I can take
And all of my strength is slipping away
When every breath gets harder to breathe
You carry me, Jesus carry me
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
I need You
You are everything I need
I love everything about You
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need

A New Perspective
I am so thankful for my husband. He is loving, kind, supportive, hard working, godly, good at everything he does, handsome :), an encourager, and he is my rock. We are still in our "honeymoon" phase of our marriage. We've been married almost 9 months. Things have been wonderful over the past 9 months. I absolutely LOVE waking up every morning with my best friend.
I know that life isn't always going to be easy. And that things may not always work out in our favor. But we are thankful for a loving Savior who I know is ALWAYS in control and holds the plans for our future in His hands. **Jeremiah 29:11**
I think every young couple dives into marriage with a little bit of naivety. Thinking that they're entitled to be loved a certain way. Thinking life is always going to be happiness, romance, babies, a perfect home and no problems. Perfection. Unfortunately life doesn't work that way. Marriage doesn't work that way. Marriage is work. It's hard work. Life isn't always going to go according to plans.
Marriage is a three-way partnership. You. Your husband (or wife). And Jesus. "A cord of three strands is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12
Marriage is a choice. Not just a one time choice. It's a wake up every morning choice.
For better or for worse. I will choose Corby. He is love of my life. I'm a better person because of him. He keeps me real. I know that God put him in my life for a reason. By no means are we perfect, but we have the love of our Savior in our hearts. And because of that, I know we will always be ok.
I love you Corby Mayes <3

Blessings
This song is so wonderful! The lyrics are so true. Just wanted to share....
Blessings - Laura Story
We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family,
protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise
