Slow day for me

Today has been a slow day for me. Some days I feel tired, but I refuse to give in! My legs are bothering me today. When I get like this, I stay focused & just say to myself, "just a slow day, tomorrow will be better." I get so excited that I'm feeling great, I forget to slow down! This is my body's way of saying slow down & enjoy a slow day. I thank God that I am able to realize that now & not freak out & let the Devil get in my head!  The Devil will torment you & have you thinking you're sick, when you're just tired. I went about my normal day as usual. I cooked breakfast, lunch & dinner! Oh yeah, I ran an errand too! I cleaned up my kitchen & I've been relaxing. I will totally rest tomorrow! I'm just going to enjoy my slow days & not read anything into it! I just wanted to drop a few lines & say stay encouraged, because God is real & GOOD! I hope all is well with everyone & have a Blessed night! I'll be back soon! Love to all!

Thankful

I am so thankful for everyday! I appreciate life for what it is! Life is a gift from God! I'm so thankful for my 2nd chance at life. God saw something in me! God knows my potential & I have gifts that he wants me to share. I am suppose to minister to someone in need of support through a dark time. I hope I can help someone! Cancer is not the end of the world! God can cure anything at anytime! Know this & believe this! The Bible says have the faith of a mustard seed. This may sound crazy, but Cancer saved my life! What I meant by that is, Cancer made me take a hard long look at myself! Cancer made me learn how to be stronger! I saw myself at my weakest point in life! I wanted to stop Chemo & die! It was so hard to endure! God came to me & told me to hold on! I am thankful for God! My friend went on a fast & was praying for me. She told me God spoke to her & told her I was going to be ok! She started rejoicing & told me God said I was healed! That gave me hope! I'm thankful for praying friends & family! We all need a strong support system! I'm thankful for my husband making me fight & my kids for making me see they needed their mom! I didn't have family support, but I did have my mother-in-law, who held me like a baby & took care of me! My friend, who never stopped believing in me! Also, my in-laws prayed hard for me!   That's why I'm so thankful! I had Chemo every 3 weeks for 3 months! My husband took me & I had it Thursday & Friday! I would sit for 8hrs watching that drip! My friend would come & bring me lunch & talk with me for hrs! My mother-in-law was in town & she would sit with me & talk & pray. Those were the people who helped me! I will never forget what they did for me! I know that was hard watching all us sick people go through this! So very thankful! I cannot stress that enough! People will turn their backs on you when u get sick! I had people abandon me, like I had the Plague! People will rise up & support! God puts the right people in you life for a reason! My husband's friends were sending flowers, gifts & cards! I was so happy  & thankful for that! I had a complete stranger stop & pray for me! God brought us together in that moment! I thank God for her! We are not strangers anymore! God really Blessed me! Lack of family support, made up through the people I mentioned above! Be thankful for good people in your life! Don't take them for granted! Be a vessel for someone sick if you can! I am a vessel! I try to encourage people whenever possible! Learn to be more thankful for each moment! Give thanks to God!  Each day as I get up & go about my day, oh how thankful I am! I couldn't hardly walk! I couldn't drive! I was in so much pain! I couldn't see the light! Oh how I am rejoicing now! I had to ride the handicap buggy around the store, because I couldn't stand or walk that good! Do you know how I feel now? I am ABLE, SO ABLE!!! Thank you Jesus! Thank you for my healing! So many people told me of the horror stories of what relatives died of Cancer! What about the survivors? Deliver good news to  Cancer patients, not bad news! God has the final say! I had to leave negative people behind! So thankful for positive people! Thankful is my word for everyday! I'll be back soon!!!!

changing

I use to be so afraid of change. I'm finally learning to embrace change! I realize life is extremely short. I asked myself a question: Do you want life to pass you by? I want to live! I didn't go through Chemo & Radiation for nothing! If things don't work out as planned, oh well, it's not the end of the world! I'll just make new plans. I'm not living in my safe little bubble anymore. Learn to embrace change! Change will open up a whole new wonderful world! Today, I thank God for showing me the way through darkness into light! I'm a work in progress, moving forward. I just wanted to share this. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Stay Blessed! I'll be back soon!
