Happy 4th BMT to me!!!

I can't believe it was four years ago today that I sat in a hospital bed, wallowing in the smell of creamed corn, trying not to puke my lungs out. Thankfully, I can say that today was a far cry from that experience. I got to see a movie with the hubs, and hang out by the pool with my mom and daughter. Every year on this day, I do try to take some time and thank the good Lord for blessing me with an abundant life. Just one look at this precious gift and who wouldn't be eternally grateful?

 
 

 To be honest though, today it has been more difficult to find the rest and peace in my gratitude. I am going through an incredibly difficult season of my life second only to having cancer (side note my difficulties are not my health). I feel like I need to change my name to Job some days. I KNOW that God is good and faithful and is The Omnipotent God, but I wonder where is His justice? How many life changes can one person handle? Apparently a lot. So, I am reminding myself of what I know. I know that God is El Roi (the God who sees me). I know that God is Jehovah-Rapha (the Lord our healer). I also know that God is Jehovah-Jireh (the Lord will provide). Therefore, I will keep putting one foot in front of the other, breathing in His grace, singing out His praise, grateful to be alive and eager to see His miraculous works. One final thought on my gratitude, these past couple of weeks, I have been reminded of the blessings of friends. My cup runneth over for all of you that are in my life in any capacity. Thanks for all of you that are listening ears, caring hugs, supportive prayers, and sweet laughter. You help make this life so abundantly amazing.

 

Cheers to another year of being cancer free!! Cheers to having a blessed life!! Cheers to seeing miracles come true!!
