What’s your current condition? There’s a high probability I’ve experienced it (my empathy is 100% regardless). Greater odds than the forecast. The blizzard didn’t dump as much as predicted, but enough to keep kids happy at home.
Currently, I’ll continue training videos for the school district. It requires time, attention, and successful assessment. Topics like bullying, suicide prevention, harassment, bloodborne pathogens, and technology are covered. These aren’t new topics after several decades. Changing conditions in me make these NEW again.
My faith walk is similar. The studies, devotions, and books I’m reading align with what I KNEW years ago. It’s better now. NEWER. Despite current conditions, My 2025 Makeover continues. Walking alongside Jesus, allowing grace, love, and mercy to repair the brokenness; surrendering to the complete indwelling of the Spirit—that’s the NEWEST and ONLY way for me to live.
Are your current conditions cold, calm, cloudy, or clear?
The current conditions of snow, family changes, and health are no match for a peace that passes ALL understanding. You don’t have to take my word for it. Take HIS. Is this new for you?
I’ll cozy up in my old flannel, cling to old-fashioned things I love, and live in the NEW that never gets old.
Do you know how loved you are?❣️
Have you heard of NET, yet? 🦓
Conditions can overwhelm. Another cancer survivor and I shared our survivor’s guilt. Isn’t that how the enemy tries to ruin us? Then…walls came crashing down like the temperatures. A beautiful fellow cancer friend shared about the hope and support she received from palliative care. This wasn’t NEW to me. A week prior I had reached out for help hope.
Palliative Care is NOT hospice. Anyone with a serious illness can seek support if needed. LACNETS, it’s amazing leadership and members, has enhanced my life. Now, with additional support, I’ll be more aware of how “current conditions” impact my day to day.
Updates
- From March 2nd-5th I’ll return to the NCI/NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. Scans, bloodwork, and clinical visits will determine my current condition. I’m expecting great results and amazing NEW learning, support, and experiences. It’s much easier to update everyone here versus text and email. Thank you for your understanding!
- Jarrod, Brooke, A & A landed safely in Fairbanks, Alaska for their 2nd move here. Jay, Cierra, and W are settled in their new house near K.C. My sweet parents and family continue walking by faith–despite any current conditions. Thank you for lifting us in prayers, good wishes, blessings, vibes, and all the above. My heart always feels for those suffering and injured. Please know that WE lift and pray for YOU, too.
Friends, spring is around the corner. There are signs of hope all around. If current conditions keep you from feeling or finding it, reach out; you’re not alone. You’re such a blessing. Thank you for taking time to support my journey.
Love, Karla & Finn❣️🐾

Oh, Karla, what a beautiful blog entry! Talk about walls coming down! I have been broken in the past week, as God tore down walls in my own life, and He continues to work. I am looking forward to sharing these experiences with my pastor, this evening. I don’t know what the future holds, nor what it looks like, but one thing I do know – God is there, and He is drawing me closer to Him!
His richest blessings be yours!
Happy Sunday, dear friend! Thank you for your support, prayers, and encouragement! I can’t wait to hear about the next adventures from the fallen walls!
“I don’t know what the future holds…God is there and he is drawing me closer to Him!” Yes, Jeff!
Living on a limb or in the Lord? (I started an article Living on a limb). For me, the abundant life of Christ is in living on HIS limb~ the beauty of staying put where he wants~ and also flying to unknowns when he calls. Your soul is grounded!
Many blessings to you! I’m praying for C’s surgery and for S and you! ❤️🙏🏻
Yes! Yes! Amen! Amen! “Living on a limb,” I love it! “Flying to the unknowns when he calls!” Oh, my soul!
I’m also glad to hear that your kids got to Alaska safely! Thank you so much for your prayers, dear sister!
You’re welcome, dear brother! Keep on keeping on! Thank you for your prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I will also be praying for you, especially during March 2-5.
Thank you, Jeff!
Karla-I’m thankful you are receiving the care you need right now. Praying for positive results from your upcoming trip. And yes, there is always hope. ❤️🙏
Thank you, dear Kelley. You’re a blessing, my friend. I appreciate you,❤️🙏🏻♥️
You, Karla, are a wonderful learner and fantastic teacher.
Mark, how kind! Thank you, dear friend!
You’ve such positive and hopeful attitude dear friend. Stay well and stay inspiring.
Sadje, you’re so sweet and thoughtful. Thank you, dear friend. ❤️🙏🏻
You’re always welcome my friend
Thank you for sharing this encouraging message with me today Karla 😊
May our Father God continue to guide and bless you and your family today 🙏
Happy Sunday, brother. It’s my blessing! I’m so happy you find it encouraging~ that’s always my prayer 🙏🏻.
Thank you so much, Alan. May God bless you and your family!🙏🏻
I’m glad your current conditions are peaceful. I’m hoping your future forecast holds a high probability of sunny skies, melting snow, and the song of birds flying north for the spring.
My current conditions are a sore thumb from too much piano practice. But the melodies are getting smoother, the rhythm is increasing in pace, and the harmonies are deepening. Now, if I can only stretch my hands a little further . . .
Tippy, I’m smiling, dear friend.
I love your forecast! I visualized it (a great way to see it come true!) and see all the same things.
I’m sorry to hear of your current condition with your thumb~ but, Tippy~ smooth melodies, increasing rhythms, and deepening harmonies? Hooray!! I can hear it now.
There is a stretch I do daily (sore fingers, hands, elbows? I get it friend!)~~hold arm in front of you, outstretched, palm up like you’re signaling “stop”. Keep palm up, arm outward, as you stretch your fingers back gently with other hand. I do this multiple times a day. “Pain free” by Pete Egoscue’s book is older than me~ but his stretches in that book have helped me for many years.
I appreciate your support, my friend. Keep making music!
I tried that stretch and my thumb instantly felt better. Thanks for the book recommendation.
That’s wonderful Tippy! I’m going to try and stretch my legs a bit today. I know stretching is the key to everything, so I hear. Unless it breaks! Yikes!
Just remember, the trick to life is knowing when you are stretching your leg and when someone is pulling it.
Exactly! 😂 I wanted to say, “Right!” But I started thinking of your post and …wrong! 😂
You’re welcome, my friend. His book is a gem
“You don’t have to take my word for it. Take HIS.” Amen, sister!
“ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
Your excellent heartfelt post reminds me that peace is truly a matter of perspective. This is especially true when it comes to the calm assurance that only the Prince of Peace can bring.
My biggest worry is over when teachers and students can return to a building that has no heat and not water—due to frozen pipes last week.
This doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, when reading how ultimate survivors, like you and your cancer-busting friends, face uncertainty with bravery every day.
🙏❤️Keep preaching it, sister Karla!
Happy Sunday, David!
The peace verse from John was the verse of the day on YouVersion. Peace has been my pace. There were days I almost gave it away to worries, fear,…doubt. God handles those things and peace is there ~ thank you for sharing and being a partner in peace.
I’m sorry to hear of the frozen pipes ~no water~ oh my! You’re such a wonderful and caring leader, my friend. I’ll be praying.
We can all walk with Christ courage. It’s not easy~ but when you experience those “walking on water” events, everything else seems…easier?
I hate to share, but I think we might’ve been challenged to a Minnesota winter cabin experience. Isn’t it amazing how God’s peace and strength can melt the coldest of situations and give comfort no matter the weather?
Keep on keeping on too, dear friend! Thank you for your wisdom and support!🙏🏻❤️
The heat and water and back on at my school. We get to go back tomorrow!
Thank you for your kind words, Karla! There are days when I wonder if I can handle this job, but I know this is God’s plan for me. I take care of my teachers, so they can take care of their students. And I what’s best for kids every day.
Brother Matt just wants to give us a hard time. First, one needs to get to Gary’s house-which is way north of any airport—in the winter. The cabin is a destination for Fall. 🍁
Yay! Wonderful news, David!
It’s my blessing to share, brother.
If I lived near you, I’d definitely want to substitute in your building. Gods doing great things through you and it oozes out to the everyone around you. They’re blessed! We all are!
Yes, I giggled at the bear story. My oldest shared his new address in Alaska~ Grizzly Bear in the name lol.
The fall time would be a beautiful time for a visit there! My favorite time!
Take care and many blessings, my friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the update, my friend! Will be praying for you especially the first week of March! 💛🤗
Aw, it’s my blessing, Mama M. Thank YOU for your prayers and support, dear sister ❤️🙏🏻 I’m praying for you and yours.
You are in our prayers dearest Karla. Thank you for your ongoing testimony in the Lord’s love. Keep the faith. Love Hugs and Blessings Dear Friend!♥️🙏.
Thank you, my friends. I believe in the power of prayer! It’s my blessing to keep sharing. God’s ways don’t surprise me anymore. I smile just thinking of the power provided. And I rest when I need to rest. Your friendship means so much. Love, hugs, and blessings to you ❤️🙏🏻♥️
“Changing conditions in me make these NEW again.” It’s so good to hear your voice, see you and Finn, and know you are on the whole-person plan. That’s exactly what we all need—hope! And you have such a way of passing it along. My prayers continue for you and your family with so many moving parts and your upcoming March trip. I love you, Sister! 💖
I love you, CL! You understand my words and “whole person” healing.
I’ll never stop having hope. I’ve tried it, for just a bit, and it doesn’t work in me. Without hope there’s no life, C. God continues to work miracles~ and he expects me to do my part. It’s hard work. And I let him do the rest. Your prayers and sisterhood are a gem. Keep the faith and hope too. ❤️♥️🙏🏻
Conditions change but Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. 🙂
Jesus loves you little sister. Enjoyed hearing your voice.
By the way, I did an interview with Gary and you came up during our conversation. Your sister watched it already.
Brother, I appreciate you so much. Thank you for your wisdom and support.
Amen!
Yesterday, I watched it and sent it to my mom and sister. What an incredible time that you and Gary shared.
I am so humbled by your shout-out and prayers. I’m supposing my comment may not have made it on YouTube so I’ll go straight to your site, dear brother.
I told David that I believe there was a challenge.
Matt, you’re doing amazing work at spreading the fire of faith. May you continue being blessed as it blesses all who participates!
I pray YOU are healing, too.
❤️🙏🏻
Love you little sister and Jesus really loves you. I am glad we could give you a shout out and pray. You are such a blessing.
I would love to make a video with you too 🙂
It would be my blessing, brother! When I return from my follow up, we can touch base.
I love you too, brother! Jesus loves you even more and that’s a lot!
Thank you, Matt! 🙏🏻🥰
Many prayers for you and your family, my friend!
Thank you, sweet Sondra. You’re precious. Give the boys my love too! Prayers and blessings to you all,❤️🙏🏻 I appreciate you
Dearest Karla, yes conditions are always changing, but God never changes! What peace that brings when our conditions change. I am so glad your family made it to Alaska safely. That is a long journey. I always pray for you, and am definitely praying for your trip to Maryland and for good reports. My current condition changed with a bout of pneumonia, which is a first for me.
Love you and sending prayers my friend ❤️🙏🏻🎶☕️🙏🏻🥰
Oh, precious Pam. I’m sad to hear you have pneumonia! That’s terrible. 😢 I’m going to pray specifically this afternoon.
I love your words and wisdom~ “But God never changes!”
Through all the changes, (daily and even hourly!) God’s peace gives comfort.
Please tell Butch how I enjoyed his article early this morning. I can comment on my PC~ his pics and words are encouraging~ like yours. Particularly I enjoyed the Wyatt Lee development!
Thank you for praying for my family and I. We all appreciate it so much. I love you, my friend. Sending so many prayers and blessings for healing too. ❤️🙏🏻🎶 ☕️ 🤗🤗🤗💚♥️💕
Dear Karla, I am so grateful for you, sharing your journey. It is an honor to pray for you. -C.D.
Carole ~ thank you, dear friend. What an honor for me to have you as a prayer warrior. You’re an encouragement to me. It’s my blessing to share.❤️🙏🏻
🙏🙏
Thank you Sheryl ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Conditions cool, sunny, and daffodils starting to bloom. It is supposed to be up to 70 on Wednesday! Spring just a few days away! Yeah!
Yay, Dwight! Isn’t it wonderful? From the looks of your bird pictures, nature is right on time as usual!
Yes, they will come in full bloom this week!
The emotional thing is huge. After my accident I didn’t dare feel my feelings, but when I could walk again, they came out like a dam breaking. Survivor’s guilt? We humans are absurdly complicated. ❤️
It is MAK. You understand that. ❤️
That’s a great description of humans. ❤️
Thank you for walking, hiking, hobbling, crawling, sitting, crying, laughing,….all of it, alongside me these years. Finn and I love you 3. The sun came out and off I went. I wore down fast! I thought of you and how every step counts!🥰🙌🏻🙏🏻🤗🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️
I was out there walking this morning and Elizabeth and Bob across the street saw me, came out onto their deck and cheered! ❤️🐩🦯🥾
That’s so amazing!! I would’ve been cheering you on with them!
I see me holding a banner and a gathering for your first walk with Bear and Teddy.
These moments. Those walks. The best things in life! Yay! ❤️💕🙌🏻🎉🐾 🥾 🐩 🐕
A lovely post Karla, forecasting as only love can. The weather will change, we will change, our hearts can change too. Even though some days you just want to hop on a sled and enjoy its freedom travel, endorphins everywhere, smiling just like all those children…even if you go splat in the cold.
I’m actually imagining that, the squeals you would make, that let go and delight. I’m sure palliative care has a sled or two 😂 But please film it if you do, this I would love to see 🤗🤣
Minus 8…that is a bit chilly kind lady. I will keep sending my excess warmth your way, spring shouldn’t be too far away for you now even if winter tries to ‘hang on’ a bit longer.
Friends are about to ‘force’ me down for a coffee by the lake and a catch up as I haven’t seen them for a while. So I will toast you and Finn and send the lake energy and love over to you. If you have a sudden urge for coffee and a chat, its just me 🤗❤️
Great to hear your voice, and I’ve realized over time that it is a healers voice. I should have known with all that work you do with the children. I can ‘feel’ that energy in it. And I have no doubt that Finn likes to snuggle…lots, because of it 🤗🤣
Big hugs from across the blue to you both. Many blessing for your upcoming check ups. A great post Karla, the ‘C’s’ are seen and shared well. Oh, and please don’t tell them that the odd bump and scrape was from being pushed into taking a sled ride from some fool in Oz. Take care 🤗🥰🤣🐾🦓🎶🕊️❤️🙏
Like our friend, Katelon, here I am…take 2 or 3 on your reply! My apologies, my friend. Is anyone else having difficulties? One wrong key and the whole response is…wiped? (No, not the delete key, lol!!).
Your responses always make me smile! Aw!
A sled—-well, Mark, today all the snow melted! I have whiplash from the degree swing! I could use the sled to slide in the mud! No bruises or scrapes were evident! After meeting my nurse, it’s clear she’d be the sledding type. What a joy! It was wonderful! Plans, support, and…HOPE!
Mark, I giggled (AGAIN) at the sudden urge for coffee and chat. I always have the urge for coffee and when that hit yesterday, now I know why!
Thank you for your kind words and support….always! My voice…healers voice (it has been destructive before—I don’t like that voice!!). Letting the Spirit speak through me—the only way that heals!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the weather, coffee, and catching up with friends. You deserve it! Finn and I send our love and look forward to sharing GOOD news when I return!
Please take care!! ❤️🙏🦓🎶🩵
You take care too Karla, I’ll be sending lots of healing hands your way packed with love kind lady. And yes, that is what I mean. I can ‘hear’ God’s Spirit within you, you have dared to open to His love. It resonates with that love.
I bet if you put your hands on someone…anyone, that has a headache, is sick or just out of sorts. They will feel at peace, feel better, and the kids just stop crying.
In the beginning I didn’t believe that I could…but…I learned by placing my hands with His love through me. Saved lots of headache tablets 🤣 And I learned to believe in His love and opened more to it.
Now I am quite ill…but…I now know that this is my journey, to face me, let go and …trust (where your much better at that than me 😂).
Probably the hardest word in my journey. But in trusting Jesus and understanding this journey we take, His love opens to us more and more.
Lots of that love I found coming over to you Karla, to heal in that love too. I hope all goes well…no, it will go well. Me and Finn will be waiting with a sled when you get back 🤗🥰🤣🐾🦓💙💜🎶🕊️❤️🙏
Ok..take 4. Hope this one works…
You are in my heart and thoughts Karla. May your travels and results be blessed.
if my other 3 tries show up, please delete them.
love, katelon
How precious, Katelon. THANK YOU, my friend. You are so thoughtful and kind.
Katelon, I’ve had difficulties with replies—I understand!
I’ll tell you 4 times how much I appreciate you ;-)!! Love, Karla ❤️
s great you’re on the improve, Karla and making those great videos for the school district; I’m good; whenever I falter in my faith I remember that passage in Matthew 14 when Peter walks on water towards Jesus but then …….
Hello, dear John! I’ve tried to comment and it disappears—I hope this goes through, my friend.
Thank you for being here and supporting me! The videos aren’t made by me—but are required for me to watch. I learn so much! I do love presenting and passing on learned information. There was a time I created learning tools. Not as much anymore, John. I did enjoy making the palliative care sheet a bit colorful!
Matthew 14–
Such a beautiful passage.Ah, “but then…” O you of little faith why did you doubt?” Not us, John! When we start to sink we know better don’t we?
You inspire me, my friend. I wanna grow into my 80’s …still trusting on the water.
thanks Karla; you should be able to comment now; I’ve tinkered a little and comments are appearing —
SO sweet and so right you are Karla. My life is a storytell of God’s love. Hopefully one day the whole world will experience more of his love, and then we will be on one His one accord. 🙏💕
How beautiful, my friend. Thank YOU! I love this: “My life is a storytell of God’s love.” I want everyone to experience that, too. I join you! I’m so thankful for you! ❤️🙏
I am so blessed too by being surrounded by love and encouragement.🙏 💕💕💕💕It’s really a circle of love. Big hugs to you always Karla from here at AmericaOnCoffee.
Wow! There’s so much truth in your writing and a free-ness that seeps through. I pray that freedom and comfort is with you & in you bone deep to help navigate stuff you’re not ‘saying.’ I understand focused of faith, Hope & love. My mom said, “if God is for us, …” then know we have the best advocate who sends helpers/angels to us, as needed. What really matters that can be against us? Change can be hard but it’s the new paths that we chart in the change that requires vigilant faith focus! Good job in all of it, Karla, and All Praise To God for giving you the comforting faith gifts! (& helpers) With love & hugs, Sue
God’s Blessings, * *Sue Gillen, Music Teacher St. Paul
Sweet Sue, thank you, my friend. I can “hear” your mom saying those words…truth!
I’m so happy you feel the free-ness seeping through my words. Friend, you’ve been a prayer warrior for nearly 25 years. We’ve walked this path of truth through trials, challenges, and good times. Every new path has given me a new faith focus, Sue. I love that! A former pastor and family friend and I were talking the other night. He said, “Karla, I don’t think your walk with Christ would be what it is without all of these experiences.” It’s true. Complacency would be worse than cancer in many ways, Sue. I have a NEW paradigm shift as of recently. I’ve always thought that disease, trials, and hardships of life DO keep me dependent on Christ. But what has changed for the better is that I have that same intimacy and walk with Christ no matter what. The good I praise him (for there’s so much good) and during the tough stuff, I go to him first. He walks with me, talks with me (🎶) and the Spirit indwells with me. It’s not because I NEED him when the going gets tough. It’s because he lives in me when the going is good, too. Does that make sense?
You’re an example of focusing on faith, too, Sue. Look at you using your gift and staying right on course, giving back to students and family. God is so good, my friend. I join you in praising him. I love you! Please take care and give hugs to your family, too. ❤️🤍🙏
Thank you for replying, Karla! Yes, God’s indwelling is hard to comprehend & it’s in us getting us from point A to B as God wills…it is a blessed gift beyond expression or measure! I know exactly what you mean. God is good in the easy and hard times & gives us focus (sometimes it’s 1 thing-sight, feeling, caring person, virtue-patience, etc) and helps us keep growing in faith. XO, SG
It’s my blessing, my friend. Sometimes I find comments in my spam folder and I’m so happy when I see yours! THANK YOU! Amen to all your words, my friend. XO
Hi Karla! Spring is around the corner. I’ll be thinking of you (and praying) when you’re in Bethesda. I feel hope, and I know you do, too. Zeb and Gloria have one more weekend with a child coming up. After that we’ll have a big send-off party as they travel back to Missouri. Hugs!
Oh, Jennie! HOPE! That is exactly a word I used today many times over and over. I feel it. I’m SO hopeful!
I have another zebra friend, Jennie. He’s a little beanie baby. I thought I’d better adopt a friend for Zeb and have ANOTHER zebra to go to the NCI with me. I found this little guy at the Relics Antique Mall.
I’m so thrilled to hear Zeb and Gloria have another weekend with a precious child. They’ll have a wonderful send-off party and spring travel! YAY!
I’m so excited to share about their experience here on my blog soon. I can’t wait!
Much love and hugs, Jennie. You inspire me, always! ❤️🦓🤍
HOPE is so important. I love that word. It sends positivity through me like shooting stars. Aristotle said, “Hope is a waking dream.” I like that! How wonderful that you got a zebra beanie baby. Wait till I tell Zeb that he has a little brother! If you can email me a picture of the beanie baby, that would be wonderful to show Zeb and Gloria, and the children. Wait! Would it be okay if the children named Zeb’s baby brother? That would be SO awesome and add yet another layer to this experience. You see where I’m gong with this. I cannot stress enough how well-loved Zeb is in the classroom. I think the big party for Gloria and Zeb will be hard for some children to say goodbye. But that’s life, and a good teaching moment. Best to you, Karla. 😍
Jennie, what a wonderful idea! YES! Please have the kids name Zeb’s baby brother! I’ll take a pic of him (or her—a sister? Lol) and email you! I see exactly where you’re going with this! Go, Jennie, go! I’m so happy Zeb is having an amazing time. I’ll admit, I’m sad that the kids will have to say goodbye- I see a visit coming from little sis or brother in the future too, lol! Yes, that’s a part of life.
Aristotle’s quote hit my heart. A waking dream. HOPE!
Enjoy your evening and have the best week, Jennie. Tell the kiddos hello from Finn and I! ❤️🦓
Hooray!!! Thanks, Karla. This will be terrific.
❤️🦓❤️
Karla, I am so glad to hear that you are making training materials on bullying. I think that teaching children to be kind is the most important thing we could teach them. At the Junior High where I taught, teachers could give a “ticket” to a student caught doing something kind. Then they could turn in their ticket(s) for a snack or candy. God bless you, my friend, as you serve Him! 🙏💕🐾
Cindy, you’re a treasure! I love that “ticket” system. How wonderful! It’s so great to reinforce all the good things. It really “sharpens my skills” to be back in school. Cindy, it’s humbling, too. It makes me practice my faith! I need real life, not just disease, to put my faith to work. I’ll never stop learning. God bless you, dear friend. I’m so thankful for you. Please give Henry our love, too. ❤️🐾💕🙏
You’re right about that! We never stop learning! I am thankful for you and all the encouragement you give to those around you. Blessings to you and Finn! 🙏💕🐾
Lovely to hear your warm and caring voice. Thank you very much, Karla, that was beautiful. 🥰🩷🌺
It was my blessing, Michele. Thank you, sweet friend, for listening. It’s therapeutic to read it aloud. It’s my goal to record many articles I’ve written in this podcast form. Your encouragement and support are uplifting my friend. Many blessings. I appreciate you so much. ❤️💕🤍
“therapeutic” Love that and I agree. Thank you and many blessings to you, too. 💕
A post from you is always a refresher 🙂 My current conditions are okay. Stable, I would say! Praying for you as always!
M.B., I’m so happy to hear your current conditions are stable. Fantastic! I’m expecting that when I return from the NCI, too! I’ll join you! Seeing your name and reading your words is always a joy, my friend. Thank you! I appreciate you and your prayers! ❤️
The current conditions are always changing, sometimes for the better and sometimes not, but your faith remains strong, as does your ability to find joy in each day. I’m praying you get good news in your upcoming visit to Maryland! Stay strong! You are always in inspiration to us all!
I am currently in much prayer over changes in my Church that may mean a big change for me in a good way! So Satan attacks my Grandson. That is usually the way. Satan love to get my mind a worrying. But I did not worry about him today. I know the Lord will take care of it all and make it work for good like He promised. I love your post> it has so much cuteness< just like you! love you< girl!!!!!!! my computer is messing up again the period won't work so excuse my mistakes!
Good getting the update, dear Karla, and great hearing it in your own voice!

Praying that God continues to take the lead in your visit to Bethesda. He understands how to nurture faith with one dose of grace at a time.
Aw, thank you, dear Richard. It was a fast and furious trip. So much information to “digest”. The storms impacted the time a bit. God continues nurturing my faith-just as he does yours too. God bless you! I appreciate you!
Karla, I appreciate you taking time to check in. God helps us to navigate through any storm. Amen.
Karla; I am way behind here and for that I apologize. I’ve been in Guatemala for the last week or so, leading a mission trip to serve the indigenous people in the Lake Atitlan area. So much poverty there, but oh so much faith and joy at the same time. God’s fingerprints are all over EVERYTHING there! Just as they are, incidentally, on your words and your life. You are now in Bethesda as you read this and I am praying for your well-being and peace. He’s got the WHOLE WORLD (which includes you and Finley, by the way) in His hands!
Russell–how amazing you’ve been in Guatemala–God bless you, my friend, for your ministry and hard work. I’ve always found it simply joyful that the people that sometimes have the LEAST are the most happiest! They give me joy!
To hear his fingerprints are all over everything is encouraging! Yes, on mine too!
God bless you for being you, dear friend.
I’ll try and formulate an update for everyone soon. Seasons and shifts in life make being “here” sporadic. But my support and prayers are not! Give Joan my best too!
I will be praying that the next checks bring renewed hope and wonderful news. Thinking of you ❤️❤️
My precious friend, thank you. I have good news and a bit of progression in other news. Overall, a good visit. Another scan this week and visit and I’ll know even more. It’s good to be home. I’ll try and send an update to everyone. You’re such a wonderful friend and support. Thinking of you too, my friend. Take care. ❣️❣️
I’m sending you all the positive vibes as you head back to the NCI/NIH. You’re an inspiration with your faith and resilience. Take care of yourself
Thank you, precious Ritish. I appreciate you so much, dear friend. You take care too! ❣️❣️
❣️🙏🏼
❤️🙏🏻 thank you, my friend
Dearest Karla,
If we went with current conditions, many wouldn’t get out of bed! I love your movies, teaching and continued faith in life!! It’s uplifting, gives a shot in the arm and beckons me to face whatever I come in contact with for the day. We have shades of sori g now but need more winter but I’m savoring whatever comes my way.
Hugs and love through the scans and good news awaits!
♥️♥️♥️
Dear C, thank you for this uplifting and beautiful message, big sister.
I know that you savor each day and the gift that each moment brings. You are so precious. I’ll update everyone soon. It’s a busy time, but I hold you in my heart. Big hugs and blessings! I love you! 💗💗💗💗
Karla, your words bring so much peace and perspective. In my own struggles, I find comfort knowing that God’s Grace is always there, even in the mess. I’m praying for you, trusting in His plan, and believing for the best in your upcoming journey.
You Are Loved, and your strength is an inspiration… 🙏
Willie, it’s so good to “see” you, brother. I’m happy this brings peace and perspective.
You inspire me, dear friend.
I’m trusting his plan ~ and surrendering to it, even when I have moments of doubt or wonder. It’s a daily, sometimes hourly, surrender.
I’m believing the best for you and yours too, Willie. I appreciate you so much! You are loved! 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻
Thank you, Karla… your words truly lift my heart. Even through the trials and struggles, no matter how hard, it’s all I have to hold on to. This year has felt like a wave of nonstop battles, and today brought yet another one. It’s hard… so hard to remain faithful when the attacks don’t let up. But surrendering to Him, sometimes hour by hour, is the only way forward.
I’m grateful for your kindness and belief.
You are loved too, my Dear Friend. 🙏🏻🤍🕊️
Karla, I think of you daily in prayers. Your strength through life storms is inspiring. Thank you, sis, for being an open book to inspire everyone that walks in your path.
How kind and thoughtful, sis. This touches my heart ♥️ thank you. I give all glory to God. When I’m weak, HE gives me strength. You inspire me, Tangie!
