Here we are with 3 months left in 2023. What a year it has been….I am reminded of this time of year and the feelings and emotions it brings. Although I am feeling more blessed and grateful then ever. In a few short weeks I would find a tumor, October 6th, 2017 and diagnosed with Breast Cancer October 13th, 2017. A year that changed my life for the better. Though times have been tough I have never given up a fight. I am reminded what God has brought me out of and the blessings he has stowed upon me and my family. This doesn’t mean I have not struggled with anxiety and depression but when I am reminded what I can control, it brings me peace. WE are in control of our mind and what we think. If you consistently think negativity that is what you will get in return, when you think and speak positive affirmations into your life, that is what you will receive. I am not always the best at this but God is always reminding me to have FAITH in him and that his plan is greater than mine and that is all I want. As humans and as indoctrinated as we are we tend to go back to what is comfortable. For me this is FEAR. Fear of the unknown, fear of not being enough and then we put that on to others. And what I have experienced that is not good. He will put people into our lives to show us how FAITHFUL he is and how FAITHFUL we are to him. Life is a all about learning from your past and using our experiences to help others. Bringing them joy, love, peace, happiness and grace. I am shown this all the time. If there is anything that I have taken from these last 6 months, it is to have faith in what is and what is to come. Live in the moment. Allow yourself to be vulnerable, allow yourself to love, most importantly allow yourself to heal….this takes time and there will be times where you feel stagnant, but keep praying. The storm doesn’t last forever. I am deeply grateful for this journey. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
