Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Durenda, wife to one,

mom to eight, nana to 12, and 30-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm also the author of four

books, The Unhurried Home Schooler, the Four-Hourished

Grace for a Mom's Heart, and Raising Boys to Men. I hope that you'll take the time to check

out those books if you haven't, and I just want to thank you for being here today. Most of you know

that I haven't been on here in a while. I did a previous podcast just a short time ago,

and I decided to go ahead and do a second one as well, because there were a few more things that I wanted

to make sure that I shared with you. Most of you know that I had a cancer diagnosis, very serious cancer diagnosis back

in end of November, 1st of December, and we're walking that process out right now and don't know

where it's going to lead. Don't have answers. It's an unknown. As we face the future, I told my husband it's really

challenging. I can't plan anything. I can't commit to anything. I have no idea where I'll be

in one month, two months, three months. And so God has turned things upside down, and we know that when he does that,

he is doing great things. And can I just say, it does not feel that way. So much of the time.

So much of the time, it is, there's a lot of struggle that comes with this particular season. And I mentioned in the last

podcast that my husband encouraged me to go ahead and share in the midst of the struggle, in the

midst of the trial, don't wait until I have hindsight and I can put the puzzle pieces together.

Here I sit in the unknown and I speak to you from that place of the unknown.

I don't know if I'm going to live.

I don't know if I'm going to die.

I have no idea.

I don't know what the rest of my life is going to look like.

But I do know this.
