I've been so busy getting ready to take my hike north that I haven't had a chance to give a few updates.
First: Thank you to Janna for coming up with my new header. She recently redid hers and I asked her how and she offered to do mine. Isn't she talented?
Second: I haven't posted an update about the work I have out. Still awaiting word from one publisher about my romance. It's been three months--that means a rejection is making its way toward me or maybe...maybe...they are considering it or busy with the holiday! And an agent asked for a few months. Well, that time is closing in fast--so might be sad news or glad but either way--I'm okay with it.
Third: I want to thank everyone for the prayers, calls and offers of help for me as I go through this with my mother. I have not felt such love and support in a very long time. It amazes me each day how something technical like a blog and the Internet can bring so many people to another in a time of need. I hope I can be there for you if ever you need someone.
I'll put some posts up when I can depending if I can find the Internet. I'm not sure if they have one in a senior citizen highrise!:))
Blessings!

Terri, I am really sorry to hear about your mom. I am praying for her for complete healing. I am also praying for you that God would give you the strength you need to stand with her. Sickness is not of God, never was and never will be. Don't accept this as a death sentence. See this as a chance to stretch your faith in God and believe Him for a miraculous healing, no matter what happened before.
His wish is that we would prosper and be in good health even as our souls are prospering.
Declare God's word over her every day no matter how things look.
Blessings and prayers

Hi Terri -
I added your Mom to my email prayer list. We continue to pray for her healing.
Janna did a great job on your header. It's beautiful!
Blessings,
Susan :)
I do love it! Janna is very talented!
Your pashmina is on the way, btw!
I hope that you find moments of joy even in this hard time, Friend. I'm praying for you!
Praying for you Terri! I count it a privilege every time I get the chance to fall on my knees.
The header looks great by the way!
Love the new header!
I, too, am thankful for all the support I have found here in Blogville. You are among friends. We genuinely care for you and your mom. Please keep us posted when you can about her situation.
Praying for healing...
Maybe you can find a coffee shop or something with internet. I am praying for safe travel and a wonderful trip...also for healing for your mom.
Blessings, hugs, and prayers, andrea
Aw, you're welcome, Terri. Anything for a friend. :)
Head up. Worry not about the writing, God knows what He's doing. And I'll continue to pray for your mom.
Terri, Take care going North...we are expecting some kind of snow storm Wed. and Thurs.
I like the new header very much!
Lifted your mother in pray at church tonight.
my mom passed away two years ago in January and it was difficult yet peaceful. prayers go with you...check out a local library for internet access. peace...
Terri,
I pray for safety for your long trip.
It is a difficult time for you, from the time you heard those words from your mother until you can wrap your loving arms around her. You will draw strength from each other.
Praying your mother will beat this cancer. She will live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.

Wonderful header! I hope you hear something good from the publisher and agent. :-)
Maybe just maybe you will get a very wonderful acceptance letter very soon. I am praying for that for you too.
Way to go, Janna. Terri, I'll be thinking of you as you continue to wait...life consists of so much waiting time.

Terri,
I'm adding my prayers to the heavens...both for your mom and for your travels.
I bet you find internet connection. Those seniors can be pretty hip!
Oh Terri, I just caught up on your posts and I am so, so sorry about your mom. I'll pray for her too.
Praying you have a very GOD-filled day today. Much love, Yolanda
I just read your post about your mom. I'm so sorry. I'll be praying for you. And, I'll keep my fingers crossed on the response to the work you have out.
Hi Terri, Have a sake trip. I'll be praying for you.
Will be thinking of and praying for you. Psalm 91
Hugs and blessings:)
Still praying! :O)
Terri, I'll be praying for you and your mom as well. Be safe in your travels.
I love the header. Good job, Janna!
The header looks great. And waiting - wow for me it's so hard. I just read somewhere count every 'rejection,' as a badge of honor. You're walking into your dream and it will click when you least expect it. Praying for you and your mom. Drive safe ok. Nikki
Great header. And hold on. It's out there. Stick to the path you have laid until you reach the end. It's there. We'll all celebrate when you do!
Terri, I'm so sorry about your mom. I wish this year would just get better for you already. As always, my prayers are with you and your family.
You go safely. The prayers will be with you in the time ahead, whatever it brings.
Dear Terri....Just found your blog. I know exactly how you feel about your Mother's diagnosis. I went through similar circumstances with my Mom. My post today, as a matter of fact, has to do with Christmas memories about my Mom. I wish you and your mother well, Terri. Take care. Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
I'm so sorry, Terri, I just saw this about your mom now. Please know I'll be praying for both of you!
You have already been such a help and encouraagement to me, right from the start of my blogging.
Your page is very striking. I hope some of your seeds sown, your writing endeavers, will produce a good crop.
I like the new banner!
I continue to pray for you and your Mom.
I have been out of the loop for the past few days. My FIL passed away and we have been traveling back and forth to my MIL house (an hour and 15 minutes away, YIKES)anyhoo the funeral was yesterday so thngs should settel back down this week.
I was so very sorry to read about your mom's cancer diagnosis. Having experianced one I know how scary and difficult this situation can be. I will be praying for you and for your mom.
I know she wll be ver thankful for your presence and I know it will make you feel better to be close to her as well.
I will be praying for you both!!
Your friend
Robin
The new header is beautiful. Prayers are going forth for you and your family... {{hugs}}
Terri,
Your new header is beautiful! How nice of Janna to do it for you. WHAT a blessing!
It sounds like you're at a good place with the work you're waiting to hear about. Peace either way is always the best, isn't it?
Praying your mom does remarkably well, that God gives you both great grace, and that He gives you all joy in the midst of hard circumstances, because His joy is our strength.
Oh, and I just read your story in the Chicken Soup Count Your Blessings book--what a good story. I had to smile because God used your tough circumsstances for good. And now you're encouraging others. THANK YOU, Terri!
I love your new header. You are in my prayers, Tiffany.
Terri,
I have been off the blog world for a week and just got back. I am so sorry about your mom. I am praying that God give you both strength and peace during this time.
I love your new heading!
I will be thinking about your family as you make this trip.

My Dear Friend,
I love you and I'm thinking about you and your mom. My prayers are with you special one.
Merry Christmas. May He flood your hearts with JOY amidst the trials.
