And I Saw 48…

God took me on a rough journey this year.  Starting with March 15th the day I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer to September 25th was my complete and total resolution of it.  I lost my breasts on the 18th of September. I was demoted from my job on the 12th of September.  Now here I am on October 19th, turning 48 with a flat chest and chilling in Detroit!  My God has brought me through and He still isn’t done with me.  I had a lesson to learn.  God took me through the roughest days of my life.  He brought me to it to bring me through it.  For those of you who don’t believe in Him, I’m living proof you should. He could have let me die.  He could have let me continue this journey by allowing the cancer to metastasize.  He could have but He didn’t.  There were days I couldn’t open my eyes.  There were days I didn’t want to fight.  I fought.  I fought hard and MY GOD gave me the strength and courage to fight.  I bled.  I sweated.  I lost every bit of my hair and nails.  I have my life to show for it all because I believe in a God that’s bigger than my illness.  I believe in a God that is bigger than my fight.  I believe in a God who isn’t done with me and I WILL live to serve Him!!!  Thank you Jesus!  Thank you for my life.  Thank you for allowing me to see my 48th.  I KNOW I didn’t deserve it but He blessed a little woman like me.  Again I’m grateful for my life.  I’m grateful for allowing me to live to be nosey!  I’m grateful for the people who treated me, comforted me, supported me, kept me in their prayers, who parted ways with me before and during this season.  I’m grateful for everyone whose names I uttered this year because I can shout, “I survived!  I didn’t beat Cancer.  GOD beat my cancer and gave me everything I needed to live.”

Happy Birthday-y-y-y tooooooo Me!!!
