All The Snaudrey That's Fit To Print.

insomnia rears its ugly head...

Ok, I should have been asleep about 2.5 hrs ago, but emotionally I am all over the map and I thought, after praying, pondering, ignoring and still tossing/turning, why not blog. Let's start with the yucky stuff.

Cancer sucks. Grandad is in the hospital in Halifax and has not eaten in weeks, literally. His stomach is apparently so full of cancer that water will not stay down and a scope cannot be performed as it is obstructed. My heart aches for him in a way that I cannot express in words. The anxiety as we wait for answers seems unbearable at moments. My visit this past weekend was both heart-wrenching and yet so good to be there with him. I will be back this weekend, and likely most weekends until things are resolved. I'm hoping to spend the night with him at the hospital Saturday to Sunday. It is so hard to know that, at best, this is just the beginning of a very long road. Prayers are appreciated.

Swing the pendulum to the opposite extreme...

I am so excited about what is happening as I am involved in youth ministry at my church. I absolutely love the girls in my small group and I see so much potential! Some of them are rock solid and hungry for more of God. Others are more of the "at-risk" category and yet I feel like I am making huge progress with them. I feel like I have this opportunity to mentor, disciple, and evangelize and it's actually happening little by little each week! It's a rush. At the risk of sounding extreme, I feel like I'm starting to align myself with a central purpose of my existance...to invest in people for God's purposes.

And onto something much, much less significant, and yet still very exciting and important to me...

After 5 weeks, down 11 lbs and counting. Almost 1 full size.

All over the map? Completely. Come, sweet slumber. Breakfast is only 4 hrs away.
