I know it's Fall y'all, but the Texas weather just isn't cooperating!
It's hard to celebrate sweater weather when it's in the 90's! lol!
So... enjoying some crisp Autumn moments however we can...

There's a new documentary out... Stop Cancer Naturally!
I've signed up for it and am looking forward to hearing what the experts have uncovered...
Because, to be honest, the statistics aren't in our favor. Cancer rates have been rising for more than 50 years. In fact, if you have a friend there is a good chance that one of you will be diagnosed with some form of cancer.
Truly, with a 1 in 2 chance of being diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, this documentary could open up options for treatment that our doctors aren't talking about. It's a side of healing that not everyone will embrace, but when your back is up against the wall and conventional therapies aren't working, it's time to explore another side to healing.
Check out the information here at Stop Cancer Naturally and join me August 13th to watch the interviews that could change the way you approach a cancer diagnosis.
I believe that our bodies were created with an amazing capacity to heal. Armed with the right knowledge we can choose to stop harming our bodies and provide the conditions needed to begin repairing the cells and organs naturally.
Excited to hear these experts share what they've learned, but as always, this documentary and the information shared is not a substitute for the advice or care from your medical team.
Never stopping the fight... seeking answers, praying for wisdom and waiting for the day that a cancer diagnosis will be a thing of the past.
My Love,
Jane
The cancer journey brings with it a constant reminder that despite our best efforts or plans, bad things happen.
And yet, God longs to direct our steps...even in the hard.
He longs to give us rest, a sleep born of a deep peace...even in the turmoil.
When was the last time you truly rested?
Like, really allowed your body (and mind) to relax into peace?
Rest. It's not just a period of inactivity, but a fall into the mercies of God. Learning to trust God's plans, His purpose, His peace...despite all the ill we face.
That is probably the biggest lesson we learned on mom's cancer journey. Learning to trust God and to embrace the time He has gifted us. Being able to settle into the slower, easier rhythms of family, of time together, laughter, and yes, even the heartache... but resting fully into the time He's given.
That kind of soul-deep rest allowed my heart to find a different kind of quiet, a peace in spite of the pain, a trust that God truly cares for me (I Peter 5:7)
It was a letting go of the hurry, the busy-ness, the overwhelm... and letting God shoulder the burden.
That is the rest I long for you to find. Even in the midst of the cancer heartache you're in. God is not far.
Praying grace tonight for each one battling on this hard, hard journey. May you lean into the mercies of God and find rest.
My Love, Always,
Jane
His name is Caleb Lufkin. He was serving in Iraq in the spring of 2006 when an explosive device hit his Humvee. He was 24 years old...
His story could be told a thousand times over in the lives of so many service men and women throughout the years. But Gratitude runs deeper for the heart-ache this one soldier leaves in his wake, for...
Come meet Dr. Martin Inderbitzin.
Neuroscientist. Triathlete. And a pancreatic cancer survivor.
He is the founder of My Survival Story.
His story has inspired thousands!
What a January!
We started off at a run and ended up in the hospital for a week! Needless to say, this is a January for the books!
To be honest, we knew it was going to be a tough month. The Farmer husband had finally decided to have both knees replaced... at once! Not an easy feat, but if you know him, you know his discipline and motivation are strong. His ortho agreed and so surgery was set... and it went fine... for 24 hours.
But somewhere in his body, the wiring went haywire and his electrolyte balances went nuts. 48 hours post-surgery his sodium had crashed and things happened fast. He was transported to a high level hospital in the metroplex where we remained for the next 4 days in the critical care unit.
We learned a lot! Low sodium levels can cause severe muscle weakness, heart arrhythmias and wacky altered mental status. Like really wacky! Bless his heart. If it wasn't so scary, it would have been hilarious... like the star favorite at everyone's party! In hindsight, I am so relieved to know he never lost his sense of humor even when things were bad. (A Blessing I never knew I needed!)
Happy to report we are at home and starting for real on recuperation and physical therapy!
Ready to shuffle off into February! May you be kind to us!
