Clear PET scan!!! and personal stuff
Hi all,
It will be almost two years next month that I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and what great news to hear that I'm cancer Free!!! Wahoo!!!
I'm feeling really good these days physically and I feel like the school year has just flown by. Ive even had the chance to attend a few conferences for school due to scholarships-one I'll attend this coming weekend in Salt Lake City the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics). That should be good and I look forward to learning what the research has to say about effective strategies and advances.
I have to say it has been an amazing year in terms of school. I really sense God 's favor there with students and with other teachers and the administration. I'm really so very very very grateful for that.
It's nice to be in a place now that, mentally, I can really move on with my life and not think about cancer possibly coming back. I'm looking ahead and forward.
In personal news, I had a serious boyfriend for about a year and a half during my battle-it's acutally a wonderful story becuase we had met after I was diagnosed and he was amazing to me during that whole time. We loved each other and still do, but we broke up about a month and a half ago. I have greived about that and am really praying and hoping that God will bring the right man into my life. I really want that. In fact, I think that's honestly more of a source of heartache to me than having cancer! So...
If you know of any quality christian guys out there, please send them my way!
Church stuff has been quite different and that has been hard as well. I don't seem to have the opportunities that I did to lead worship and that is somewhat heartbreaking to me. Maybe that's God's way of wanting to reposition me somehwere else? I don't know, but I want to listen and follow what He is doing. I am going to be able to do worship at a retreat in a couple of weeks with Paul Talley, Jody Moses and David Harrison and i'm looking forward to doing a lot of worship within a weekend. Moreover, I'm looking forward to being away and in an environment where I'm going to be steeped in the word. I'd really like to hear from God about where he wants me to be. I need to know. I'm pining to know actually.
I reflect on the past almost two years and it has been an amazing journey. God has used all of you to support me in ways that are truly remarkable and I feel so unworthy and so grateful. Thank you!!!!!
love
Julie

Awesome news and AWESOME God! How wonderful to see how God has worked all through this process with you and you have been real and down to earth in your blog.
Jules... checking your blog are you surprised? Clearly you have more to be grateful for than muse over. Your heart and passion for Jesus is what the Father desires most from you and you always deliver. Embrace the moments. You are his child and nothing can separate you from that! On a personal note, yes God wants you somewhere else and there are teaching jobs all over the silicon valley...
just kidding... no I'm not.
Hi Julie! I'm not sure if you even use this thing anymore, but wanted to say hi and tell you I was thinking about you. :-) Also, I've recently started getting into running, and have been considering training for a half marathon in the coming months, so I was searching for different ones in So-Cal and found out there is a 5k Breast Cancer walk/run in Palm Springs in March 2009! Thought you might be interested if you don't already know about it. http://www.kleinclarksports.com/wrw5krunwalk.html I hope you're doing well!!
Love,
Tabitha
