Hey everyone - It's Erin again :) I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Today has been a good day - I walked for an entire episode of Gilmore Girls this morning. I got so caught up that I just kept going! Ok, ok, not true. I watched every minute tick by, but I felt good, so I kept walking. :) Not much else to report, I guess. We are just enjoying the rest of our time at home before we start up again on Tuesday. I feel like God is really strengthening me and helping me gear up for round two. The day I was diagnosed, we didn't have any time for the news to sink in, and we were shipped off to Emory right away, no passing go or collecting $200. This time, I at least know what I am facing, and I have a few days to get my head in gear and make a packing list (including lots of movies and comfy pajamas). I can really see God using this time to work in me and prepare me. I am so thankful for that because if it were up to me, I would be making a get away plan instead (but I'll wait on that until I get really desperate :)).
Thank you for your continued love and support - I am thankful and so blessed that God is using each of you to help me get through this trial. He is so faithful and I appreciate the faithfulness of His amazing people. Thank you for your constant love and encouragement - I cannot believe the ways in which God is using this experience (well, I can believe it, I am just continuously, and pleasantly, surprised at the different things He is doing). Love you guys! - Erin

Erin,
It was great to hear from you. Life is full of curveballs, but you are handling everything with the help of the good Lord and friends. We think of you daily and are so encouraged by your strength. Bless you and enjoy the long weekend. Any special requests just blog them to us and your wish will be fulfilled. Love ya - Steve and Karen
What a girl you are! I took Aaron to preschool this morning and walked down the hall, past Alen's office. I was struck by your smiling face on the "youth staff" poster! You just glow with the love of Christ! What a blessing you are to each of the youth and students with whom you work. Let's see, Faith has 2 1/2 more years until she hits youth...I don't know if that excites me or terrifies me! It certainly makes me feel OLD! Take care of yourself and that great family of yours! Love you guys!

Girl! You just amaze me! I don't know anyone that can keep a positive attitude better than you. It must be that Lake Burton - just keeps your spirit up all year long (they must put something in that lake water). I just wanted to say I love you guys and thank you for being my most favorite role models!!

Hi Erin
I'm so thankful you were able to be at home this whole week for both your birthday and Valentine's Day; I know you thoroughly enjoyed both! It is evident in both yours and your mother's posts that God is renewing your spirits and storing up "God spots" to reflect on while going through your next round. What strength there is in prayer! We continue to pray for all of you. Enjoy your weekend.
We love you,
The Sykes'
Love you darling! I hope you're having a great day and enjoying your days at home. Remember you can just take us along with you up to the hospital in your HUGE picture frame! Anyways, have a good weekend...it's like you will be with the rest of us on our day off. :-)

My dearest Erin,
It's so much fun chatting with you online...continue repeating his scriptures over and over with your name inserted in them...it is your LIVING WORD that guides and supports you as you travel your path. I love you with all my heart!

Isaiah 43:16-19 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters;Erin, do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old.
I am about to do a new thing, Erin, now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
It's so good to hear from you! The faith that you and your family exhibits is such an inspiration to all of us. Please know that you are in the prayers & thoughts of many. We miss you at PRHS and all look forward to seeing your smiling face in the halls upon your return.

Keep hanging in there sister!
Your life is continuing to bless the lives of so MANY! What a beautiful example of God's Love your family has exhibited through all this!
Just wanted to let you know you have not been forgotten at work, you are being thought of & prayed for daily. I still read your blog everyday so I know how I can continue to specifically pray for you.
Janet I wish I was there to give you a BIG hug! Until that day...may you feel God's love on the wings of prayers that are being sent in your name!
Love,
