Ring it like you mean it!

You might have seen this post on social media already, but if you are tracking updates here on the “Kick it” site, I want to make sure you know I am DONE. 30 rounds of daily radiation in Houston are complete and I am finally home. This sweet crowd of nurses and radiation therapists joined Tim, Nick and Wrendy as we celebrated by ringing the bell! Onward to full healing. xo

    Charla!
    Wonderful news! Not sure how you managed all those treatments. Doesn’t sound like fun. Thrilled that you are DONE! More power to you. Hope to see you on our road … and if not there, somewhere else fun.
    Take great care!
    Warmly,

About Charla

In March of 2023 our dear Charla was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer which had spread to the lymph nodes. Charla is a beloved friend and pastor to so many. In an effort to keep all of those who care about her in the loop, and lighten the communication load that would inevitably fall on Charla and her family, we have established this blog. Please post your comments of positivity, prayer, encouragement, and inspiration on this site, or mail encouraging messages via snail mail.

Prior to this diagnosis Charla had tossed around the idea of starting a podcast. With a background in PR and TV, years of expertise teaching and writing on parenting and other topics, a Doctorate in Ministry from Duke University, and 13 years under her belt of co-pastoring and leading a church, Charla has a deep well of wisdom to draw from and “kick around” in conversation in a podcast setting. We can’t wait to “kick it” (slang for “hang out”) with Charla in the years ahead and hear her declare triumph over this diagnosis.

For now, we join Charla in solidarity, with love and constant prayer, as she kicks cancer out of her body.

Kick it with Charla. And lift her up in prayer.
