Day 3
Again, I'm sorry for the late post. This was from yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday!! I had such a wonderful day full of love, shopping, movies, pizza, and cake! Each birthday for me is a reminder how truly awesome and gracious our great God is! I was told, after my cancer diagnosis at the age of 16, that there was a major possibility that I wouldn't make it past 5 years (my 21st birthday). I'm thrilled to report that I just turned 29 yesterday :) I have told my husband that I'm not very excited about turning 30. But in a way, I am. Since I'm really trying to focus on what I'm grateful for lately, I am now going to start saying that I am excited about turning 30...well maybe excited is too strong of a word ;) Ha! But in all seriousness, it is so awesome that God chose to be gracious to me and extend my life. I pray that He alone is glorified in that, and that He will continue to use my life in ways that will bring glory to him!
You know how much the number 30 freaks me out, but in your case, we need to celebrate, so I think it's great you say you will look forward to it! Praise God!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed your day yesterday; you deserved it!! :)
God is good and gracious! I am so thankful that I can see you holding your children, my grandchildren, after hearing such a prognosis - and then the doctors saying you probably would not be able to have children after the (worthless,as it turned out) chemo! Every time I consider, this is such an encouragement that God does love us, hear our prayers, and will carry us through whatever we are facing now. Love you all!
