I'm going to take a break from blogging this week. I have some stuff on my heart and mind and attention needs to be given to those things.
My dad is undergoing some medical tests tomorrow. He was in the hospital over the weekend, and he called me on Saturday night with some sobering news. The first doctor he saw gave him a diagnosis that has yet to be confirmed, but honestly, it knocked the wind out of my sails. His tests tomorrow are of an exploratory nature and we hope to know more by the end of the week. I'm trying to be positive and to not let fear and worry consume me. But it's hard. He's my dad and I love him and want him to be okay.
If you want to pray for him, I'd love that. His first name is John. I'll update when I know more. Thanks, friends.

You and your family are in my prayers. We have been going through the same thing with my dad and I know where you are. There's just something about a daughter's relationship with her dad.

I just found your site through the BlogHer links, and had to read more. We're at 8,750 ft. in northern New Mexico, but we love Colorado (CO Springs)as well. Anyway, I've added you to my blogroll. I look forward to reading more.
I've got your dad and your entire family on my prayer list. Keep us updated!
Just thinking about you and your dad tonight and hoping he's okay. Praying for him.
Oh Meredith! We will be praying! Please let us know how he is when you feel up to it!
In HIM,

I am praying for you & for your Dad.
I love this Psalm written by David when he was in the Desert of Judah. I will share a small portion, but it is worth reading in it's entirety. Psalm 63:7-8 "Because you are my help, I will sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Cling to Him and sing in the shadow of His wings...
Hey Meredith - just checking in on you. Continuing to pray for peace in your heart as you wait.
My heart broke when I read this. Please know you, your dad and your family are definitely in my prayers.
Mer, I will be praying for you and your dad. We've been through serious illnesses with both of my parents, and it's not fun or easy, to say the least!
