I just got back from a 30 minute walk, during which I was praising God for all He is and all He has done in my life. I am so overwhelmed with how powerful and glorious He is! It was about 40• in January, in Minnesota! Beautiful and sunny, I had to take my coat off!

I am not sure how many will see this at this point, but I want to share how thankful I am and how far I have come. I was remembering how blessed I was by so many when I really needed it and all I can do is pray that I can be that for someone someday. It is so humbling to think about. I miss seeing all of you, especially those of you at Harvest Outreach Church and Hillcrest Lutheran Academy. I still feel just as blessed today, as I did almost a year ago, when so many of you reached out with cards, food and money! I wish we would have kept better records but I hope you are all reading this and will know how thankful and blessed we were and still are. You really were there for us at a time when we really needed it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

This last year has been a journey. I am following my treatment plan and also have changed my diet and am educating myself and pursuing nutritional options. I have lost almost 40lbs and am trying to stay as active as possible. I have family and friends that are praying and believing in my total healing and I continue to trust in a Big God! I have a lot to live for and I will continue to pursue this path of heathy living as long as I am privileged to. 

My best times are spent with family and I look forward to attending church again soon. Mason and Taylor are coming over tomorrow and we are going to watch Regan’s first basketball game! These things bring so much joy, I hope you are all taking time to just enjoy life!

God Bless you all and thank you again!

All my love,

Leanne
