Another Birthday!

I'm so blessed with another year of life. God has given me so many blessings throughout my lifetime that are too numerous to begin to list. He saw fit to give me a second and third chance at living the life He has intended for me to live. Back in 1986, I was faced with a life or death battle but God knew what He had planned for me. Who would have thought that when I began my senior year in high school that I would have been facing cancer after graduation? It wasn't anything I had ever had to deal with before but would continually think about after the completion of chemo. There have been so many times when my human nature competes with the certainty of what I know is the Truth. I guess that's why we fall short and need God's grace. I recently went for my mammogram and female checkup. I can honestly say that although I know I rest in God's amazing embrace, there are times when I think.. Is this the visit that I find out something is wrong? I don't think I'm alone in thinking these kind of things. However, should God see fit to give me another "challenge" or "bump" in this journey I call life, I know that I am His child and will have the strength to endure whatever is on this journey. I can praise Him thru the storms and the sunshine of my days.
