Today . . . I am 45!!

WooHoo . . . I have accomplished 45 years in this life!

To some, this might look as though I'm seeking attention. To those who really know me, that's not the case at all! I am seeking one thing, however . . . and that is to give praise to the Lord for His allowing me to get to this age! It has been a challenging, at times treacherous, fight to get through the past five and a half years. In April 2005, doctors told me I had a 30% chance of living five years due to the extremely advanced nature of the cancer that had come upon my body. Two more times, I have been told that cancer is likely to take my life. God has seen fit to defy those medical statistics and give me breath each day.

For this, I praise Him!
For this, I stand in awe!
For this, I fall to my knees and cry holy!
For this, I shed tears that come from the deepest part of my being!

Oh, if you could only know the magnificence of my Lord!

He has granted the yearning pleas of my heart . . . to still be here to mother my babies. This privilege is abolutely overwhelming. I simply do not know what to do with the intense emotions this entails.

For now, I celebrate! My family is waiting to pamper me with a day of being together . . . my most favorite way of spending any day!!
