Game Changer

A game changer is an event or decision that takes your life in a new direction and you will never be the same again. I have made decisions over the last 4 years that have been game changers. When I decided to quit my job at McKesson and leave Utah was a big game change. When I decided to move in with Terri to help her with childcare, that was another huge game changer. The news I received on November 23, 2011 was another big game changer. I have breast cancer.

We're here for you Tiffany. It will be a sucky "game" to have to start playing, but you have so many people around you that love you so much. I hope you can draw strength from that and know that we are thinking of you.

When my friend was undergoing chemo, she wrote to me:

"The Gospel brings so many blessings to my family and me. Even in this horrible situation I can still be so happy, so full of joy. I know I'm not alone. There is someone who knows exactly what I'm going through, someone I can always talk to anytime, who loves me so much, who knows I can do this. My Savior, Jesus Christ. As it says in John 14:18, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you." I'm not alone, what a comfort to be able to know this! I can do this, even though it gets harder and harder. I can do it. And I'll do it joyfully. I'll press forward, through thick and thin. This trial was given to me to test my weaknesses, to make me stronger. The Lord will help me, I'm not alone, His spirit is with me. I feel at peace. I'm am so grateful for this Gospel, I can't imagine facing any trial without it."

You are not alone! We love you so much.

Noelle,
Thank you for your support! I love your family so much! I know I'm not doing this alone, and it is so important to know that.

Love you!

For the longest time I kept looking at your blog to see if you had posted anything new. I wanted to know what you were doing, if you were still in school, if you were working, or still helping your sister out with her kiddos.
I haven't checked your blog out until I received a e-mail from you today. Never did I think something like this would be on your next post.Well I for one know how strong a idividual you are whether it be in work or the gospel. If anyone can rise to a challenge and come out on top it is you. I only wish I had half as much faith and perserverance as you do. You are and will be in my thoughts and prayers. I miss you girl. Your smile helped me make it thru quite a few days at work and I miss seeing that smile. Love you always, janet bentley
