Sometimes we get a little angsty here on the Twitter. Let's have some tea (like actual tea, not gossip). Here's a puppy. Jesus deeply loves us, even in all our buffoonery. That's all I know. Blessings, friends❤

@PastorTrey05 My conservative MIL has always said this would be the strategy, that "the supreme court rules the land". I believed her then and believe her (on this at least) now. I'm so, so sorry. I'm irate. Probably will be for a long time. It's so, so unfair and wrong and hateful.

On today's episode of WHAT THE HECKS?! my medical oncologist asked why I was wearing a mask. Let's start with COVID and end in "flu season is almost if not already here." Zero bashing, y'all. She's young and listened well to my education and I am hopeful she'll stop

@MusicalHell My dad says Sesame Street is a communist show for these reasons you listed 🙄🙄🙄🙄 I'm grateful my kids have big hearts and they celebrate diversity. I will encourage them to love everyone well until the day I die.

@BethMooreLPM Auntie Beth!! This is exactly what I need today. Also I heard the word "remission" yesterday for my stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer. God has graciously done above and more than I ever asked or dreamed. I get to be gere a little bit longer. Raise my babies. Love my hubby. 🥰

@AmandaHeldOpelt Amen and amen. And I repent for the many times in my younger years that I voted straight Republican just because of abortion. Never looked to see the NRA $$ going to the politicians I elected. Shame. I repent, I repent. Never again will I so flippantly vote. I repent 💔

Y'all have sustained me by your prayers, encouragement, and pet pics today, and I thank you so much 😍 I had to call family today, and it was oddly encouraging, but also I just want to pray over them, especially my "little sister", my beloved chemo nurse from the beginning.

Y'all, I have a brain scan today. Please pray. I'm actually not nervous, but I take nothing for granted, either. There's currently no detectable cancer in the rest of my body. I fully rely on God and His faithfulness and goodness, no matter the results. He is good❤️

Beloved Tweeps: I received a Christmas miracle today. My doctor called to tell me there are NO ACTIVE BRAIN METS in my brain. She said it's the best scan she's ever seen of mine, and she thought it was someone else's scan!!! But it's mine. Jesus did this.

@EM_RESUS Yup. This is the truth. Feelings of impending doom are usually accurate. God bless you and your team, Doc. Grateful for all you do.

@clhubes Amen, Lucy!!! I hope we women can do a better job of loving ourselves. These bodies do incredible things! It's time we acknowledge that and embrace whatever shape they take to carry us through life.

@BethMooreLPM Mama Beth, can you add me? My inflammatory breast cancer came back. It's in my lungs and liver. I have a wonderful husband and a 5 and 9 yr old. I want what Jesus wants...but I also want to stay here with family for longer. Please pray, dear sister ❤
