I got to sleep in. That is one of my favorite things in the world to do. When I woke up mom and dad were down stairs. Dad heard me up and was going to sneak in and watch TV with me. But I was already up. So, we invited mom to come up and we all got back in my bed and watched some TV. A little after 11 we decided to get ready and go have Breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Since everything was going so well, Dad decided to go ahead and go back home and leave mom here with me.
On our way to breakfast Dr. Kluck called to check on me and asked how I was feeling. I told him my neck was really sore. He asked if it felt like I had had a needle stuck in it and dug around yesterday….he has a good point! After breakfast we came back and dad packed up and headed out. Well, mom had a little project she wanted to work on here and with this being the Henderson / Ouachita baseball weekend, I had games to watch.
The Tigers smoked…the Reddies today and that was so awesome. I mean really 15-2 and 22-7. That’s pretty amazing. Not as amazing as the surprise waiting for me when I got home. Mom had worked in my room while I was gone and got my new scrapbook workstation set up. You see she got me a new table for Christmas and I had been dreading getting it all set up. But, she cleaned out both my room and my spare bedroom and got everything put in its place. Why did she not get here sooner? I will now start working on projects to line up for the rest of the week!
As I finish today’s entry, I will leave you with these words that my dad prayed today before he left:
God, while we know you did not cause this to happen, we know that you allowed it to happen and we will trust you to show us why!
Keisha – I love that your attitude is so positive during this experience, what a testimony to God’s love and faithfulness. I am so sorry that you are going through this. Times like this grow our faith.
Also, I think it gives us a look into the affects of sin on this world. Because of Adam’s sin, death has passed to all men. Disease, sickness, ect. is all a result of sin being in our world, it is not the way God intended things! It should make us hate sin even more. But Praise God that HE is bigger than those things! That HE is in perfect control and HE alone is sovereign!
HE is our healer, our provider, our protector, and our righteousness!
In all things, Glory to God. I love you Keisha, and I am praying for you.
Love,
Jenny Adkins
Wow, I’ll be honest…I feel a little like the wind got knocked out of me. It is one of those moments where you hate that something like this has to happen to an amazing person, while at the same time you know that it takes someone that amazing to handle it. All of that to say, I’m praying for you and my staff will be praying for you! Keep us posted here!

Keisha, the other Berrys in your life have you at the TOP of our prayer list. You are just full of surprises, aren’t you? We’ll check in on this blog to follow your progress. How grateful we are that God is leading you each step of the way on this journey. We love you, Keisha. Wish I could give you a giant KB hug right now! Love, Kathy, Trey & Tanner
Keisha- What can I say, but I love you. You are my best friend and we have been through so much together. As I sit here reading this amaizing blog, crying, and thinking how our lives were suppose to be sooooo perfect, I’m reminded of how unperfect life really is. Every set back, and test we grow a little more. Heavenly Father will bless you with faith, strength, and peace, as you endure this trial. I’m so honored to be such a huge part of your life. What an amazing person you truly are. I thank God daily for giving me such an understanding, passionate, loving, and caring best friend. I love you, and you are always in my prays. Heather
