Thank you for the incredibly kind messages on Friday and over the weekend for my birthday. I was truly touched by your words of love & remembering my birthday. Thank you for making my day sweet and full of love.
To the birthday today that 10 years ago (2013) I was told I would most likely not live to see because I was diagnosed with Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease & Cancer ... Friday brought a deep gratitude that words can't express...
To the birthday today that 9 years ago (2014) I was told that in addition to the above two diseases I was also fighting three other complicated health issues & looking at several organs shutting down & my oxygen levels were dangerously low... Friday breathing fresh air outside a hospital brought gratitude with tears...
To the birthday today that 8 years ago (2015) I spent in an ER due to complications from treatment... Friday brought simple gratitude that I was not in treatment or in the hospital...
To the birthday today that 7 years ago (2016) when I found out that I had a serious blood clot due to my PICC line & it had to be removed immediately... Friday I was grateful for all that #niccthepic did to help me get to yesterday...
To the birthday today that 6 years ago (2017) when I was once again told I would never see 40 years old or older because I needed emergency surgery because I was most likely facing an aggressive form of Cancer ...it is beautiful to be here Cancer free.
And to the birthday on Friday ..the 43rd that I was told I would "never see"...I am so glad that I didn't believe what so many "experts" said...because you, my 43rd birthday have been fought for very hard...through blood, sweat, & tears that only the closet know about...I so wish my daddy could have been here...he & my precious mom would speak truth & life into each fear & tell me again & again how wonderful it was going to be to meet another birthday...and here we are...
So my dear 43rd birthday... I am so glad to meet you...to start a beautiful new year & adventure to believe with hope of abundantly good things coming this year...and to continue to live in a speechless gratitude of every single day I am given. You and everyday are a priceless gift.
The people who survived the wars have found favor in the desert. The Lord said, "I love you with an everlasting love....once again I will build you up, & you will be rebuilt, my dear people...once again you will take your tambourines & you will go dancing with happy people...once again you will plant...
// Jeremiah 31//
