I Am Thankful

It snowed!! Yah!!!
Today I am trying to make broccoli 🥦, and cheese 🧀 stuffed chicken breast 🐔 as far as I know I have never made this before so we shall see. What I did was coat one side of breast with flour, drakes batter, and bacon, onion seasoning then topped it off with parmesean cheese. Then I baked three large potatoes, then I cut them in half , scraped out the potatoes, mashed them with butter, cheese, and garlic Asiago cheese seasoning then put it back in potato shells topped it off with shredded cheese and bacon bits!

I love to cook and it is fun to try new ideas and things. Richard goes in for the 3rd chemo treatment Tuesday please continue to pray for him!!

Oh! I almost failed to share a PRAISE REPORT!!!

He told me I believe 2 days ago he blood work came back, HIS PSA HAS DROPPED!!

THAT IS AWESOME AWESOME NEWS!!

And his appetite had been the best it ever, ever has been since I have know him! And that is no exaggeration.

When Richard and I met, he was a heavy drinker and he bowled I was the bartender/waitress/cook. We became drinking buddies I guess you really could call us, we drank every single day, and rarely ate meals just snacks. When I moved in with him I tried cooking like I was used too for a husband but he preferred drinking so I stopped cooking altogether.

Why we married I really am unsure because he slept in his bed, I slept in the sunroof in a lazy boy, before we married and after we married. We were not even married 2 years, I left and started the modeling/porn business he lost his job from drinking and almost died from falling down the basement stairs. The doctor said he should not be alive because of the head injury, after staying in a rehab and much counseling and a huge family support group. Richard quit drinking and went back to college to be a nurse, he called me one day and said if i needed a place to live in order to come home he has a room I can rent. I had finished chemo and radiation and returned to the living protection of my Heavenly Father. He had impressed in my spirit i was to move vack hime but I said to Him, “Father if this is you then you must provide the way I have no money, no ability to work, and nowhere to go”. I had called Sis and asked if I could move in with her but she said no, so I had nowhere to go.

That is when 2 miracles happened, Richard called and offered me a room to rent and I got in the mail back pay from Social Security disability! I accepted Richard invitation and I have been renting from him since 11/2017.

He is my very best friend on this earth, he forgave me for the things I had done and he said his drinking did not help matters. He says I am an inspiration to him and this “Pam” he really likes so much better than the old Pam. He and I know there will never be anything between us other than friendship. There is no attraction there whatsoever and truth be told the only thing that bonded us together in the past was our drinking and love for travel.

Richard completed school a couple of years after I moved in, graduated and his first job was working at the rehab recovery place he went to. Since then he is now a visiting hospice nurse and he really loves his job.

I thank God for His amazing blessings and His plans and purposes that most of the time we do not understand.

Richard asks a lot of questions now about God, Jesus and salvation. We pray every night before I retire to my room for rest. And he knows me very well because he sees me, watches me, and listens to the manner of conversation I have. He has said to me that I am the “real deal” and by watching me and seeing the miracle that God has done twice now that inspires him and he knows that God is real.

I tell him that if it was not for God I would probably be dead, or on the streets living. I should be dead by all rights, honestly I should have had more diseases than breast cancer 🎀. And that God heals because He is good not because those He heals are good.

Sometimes though, like lately, I cry because I do not understand why am I alive, why didn’t cancer take my life, and why are others I know and love dying from cancer. Richard has said, “Because you have a lot of knowledge to share with others about God, you help many people, you are needed here still”. I dont know about all that but I do know God has me still here for a reason.
