December 28, 2019February 20, 2020

2019 has held some of the greatest accounts of God’s faithfulness, yet alongside His greatness, this year has challenged me in so many ways spiritually, emotionally and mentally.

Joy & Gladness will be Found in Her

August 2, 2018August 1, 2018Leave a comment

This morning as I was doing my write the word, I came across this verse, and felt blocked. I didn't see the purpose in writing this verse and how it would help me "cultivate hope." Honestly, I was quite confused and almost bothered by it at first. I immediately stopped in my tracks and asked … Continue reading Joy & Gladness will be Found in Her

POTSie Devotional: Salt- We need to be it and eat it

July 15, 2018July 15, 2018Leave a comment

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. 14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.15 No one lights a lamp and … Continue reading POTSie Devotional: Salt- We need to be it and eat it

What to do when plans A, B, C- Z don’t work out

February 8, 2018January 15, 2018Leave a comment

Apparently when my parents named me Cassandra that stood for "The Queen of Setbacks" or at least you would think so with how my life has gone. I am a meticulous planner, and have a day to day paper planner- it is my second bible. It doesn't surprise me that as I got older- and … Continue reading What to do when plans A, B, C- Z don’t work out

As I prepare to go into the OR on Thursday, I am getting all my ducks in a row so I don't have to worry about everything. My sole focus needs to be on recovering. Let me start out by saying, I am a control freak and that's no secret.

We got moved up to ICP for the night (ICU but less intensive) and they're trying different things to manage the pain and keep her relaxed for the night. Sorry for the lack of update today. For the most part there won't be a lot of updates this weekend, we're just finding ways to manage pain and figuring out what will work best for while we are in here. As far as we know there's no plan to move Cassie any time before they come to adjust her cast on Monday afternoon #livingthechronicillnesslife
