Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
One of my favorite bible verses.
“For I know the plans I have for you.” We all have days and moments when we question why certain things happen in our lives but putting faith in God and fulling knowing that he is in full control, is powerful. As humans we try and control situations, relationships, etc. Speaking to my own journey, I have learned to “Let go and let God” do his work in my life. And to trust the process of what he has for me.
Today marks 3 years ago this month I was diagnosed with breast cancer. A month that was filled with fear, anxiety, sadness, confusion, and all the emotions that come along with hearing those three words, ” you have cancer.” A time in my life that I will forever be grateful for, because it changed my life forever. During the last three years I have experienced not only cancer but death of loved ones, divorce, loss of friendships, and health scares. I couldn’t fathom why all of these situations were happening to me, but as a child of God all of these situations have been purposeful. I now GET to live the life that God has blessed me with and his plan for me is perfect and knowing that he is a miracle worker in all things.
I have learned how to love myself again, and that it is okay to be vulnerable, and its okay to not be okay all the time and to allow myself to feel the emotions of what has transpired but not to dwell in those emotions.
Having gone through the journey that I have, it has provided me with an abundance of blessings. Without all of the situations that have happened, I wouldn’t be here today with the strength and willingness to live. I have been blessed with the most amazing group of Pink’d sisters, co-workers, friends, family and most important my amazing boys. With all that is going on in this world please continue to LOVE, BE KIND, and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Have a blessed day!
