Hats, hats, and more hats!

I sat down earlier to write and ran my fingers through my hair; they came out with a handful of hair. I decided to cook dinner, then ???? Mason and I went shopping and I am now the proud owner of a mesh skull cap (to sleep in), six hats, and one scarf (I need Madi to go scarf shopping!). One more step in my journey. Tomorrow night, I believe, will be the wig debut, provided I am brave enough to go ahead and complete the hair loss process between now and then. Today I am thankful for my husband who brings humor into everything and loves me for who I am on the inside and is so crazy that he thinks I am going to be beautiful bald. I am thankful for my children and all of their love and support, and for all of you who are sustaining us in fellowship, love, and prayers. I am thankful for all of the oncology specialists who are amazing and truly called to do what they do. I am thankful for having cancer as fall and winter are arriving so that the hats will be less awkward to me (God knows my heart, and He loves me the same). I am thankful that the MRO concert/fundraiser just so happens to be tomorrow night so that I will be supported by our crazy and special friends there for my big debut, as Mason says, the NASCAR community is a pretty good audience to try things out on! I am thankful that I serve a God who loves me so much that He sees to all of the details in such a personal way just for me...wow! 2 Corinthians 12:9 "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

    I agree with Mason...I think you will be beautiful bald because you are beautiful...hair has nothing to do with that. I will pray for you as I so often do these days...but this one will be for special confidence with your "new look" Hang in there and know that you are loved for many things with or without hair!! I love you and pray for you daily..."Aunt" Kim

    I have no doubt that you are going to look as beautiful as always, in your wig, or one of your new hats or a beautiful scarf or if you decide to go without any of those... Your beauty shines from within and is simply enhanced by your outward beauty, which a few missing hairs can NEVER take away!! You shine with God's glory!! Go and have lots of fun tonight!! Praying that God will remove any uncertainty and fill you with a spirit of confidence in your unfading beauty.

    I also pray that you will have fun tonite and feel special about who you are. You are a striking and beautiful woman both inside and out, with or without hair. You have a beautiful day to get dressed up and I hope you enjoy your event.
