Another Chance

In my world I am continuing to learn, know and understand how precious life really is.  Those of you who have been following my world and my blog know that in 2009 my life nearly ended.  I celebrated a birthday yesterday and continue to celebrate the fact that I am a walking miracle.  Lyme Disease was so heavy in my body, and had spread to organs so much so that my life was literally in question.  While going through my most painful moments I longed to die; however yesterday made me realize how blessed I am to be living.  It could have ended for me...

Every day when I open my eyes, its another reminder of what God continues to do for me!  Yesterday marked another year of time that God has given me to fulfill his purpose in my life.  I, by the grace of God am striving to not waste this second chance that he has given me.  I am really a walking miracle....BUT then again...SO are YOU!!!  I'm not the only person whose life was almost cut short.  There are more of you out there who are reading this blog saying to yourself I almost died too! For some of you it was a car accident, for others it was a disease as well.  I do know that there are countless numbers who, even though they are legitimately alive, because of everything you are going through, your spirit is dead!  You are tired of the stress and depression and feel like you wanted to give up...BUT in the middle of it all God showed up and caught you!

The reality is that we all could have been dead, but God has kept us alive because even though you almost died, his purpose never did.  God will continue to keep you until his purpose is fulfilled or until you decide to abort the purpose!  Don't waste the second chance!  Embrace the story, your testimony; for most of us, its the only thing keeping us alive.  If it is, so be it!  Let God's purpose become your purpose and the reason for your existence.  In my world God's purpose has pushed me on days when I wanted to die, nights when I wanted to give up, and mornings that I wish did not come...

It's not always easy, but the struggle will always make you stronger!  Until next time...in my world!
