Today me and my family celebrated early. We had two celebrations, Jacob's graduation from high school and me finishing my treatments. Well, I haven't finished all of them yet, but we celebrated anyway. You see, on this day one year ago, I was told I have breast cancer. It has been a long road, this past year. And it isn't quite over yet. I have 3 more treatments, a mammogram, possibly a MRI, before Dr. Hargis will say I am in the clear. So I continue to pray for my cure and have faith that my cancer is totally gone.
To celebrate today with my family was great. I love being with all my family and to share this celebration with them. I got a call from my cousin and friend today and she said she noticed my courage and strength throughout all of this. I hope this will help her gain courage and strength to get through her trials she is going through right now. I am glad others have seen me through my good and bad times, and to see that I have survived it. But I have only gotten through this with my faith that God will walk me through it. I pray others will see me and think, If Autumn can do this, then I can get through my trials. It is hard, but you just lean on your family and friends and let God carry you.
So, I am not getting any younger and my kids Erin and Ty and nephews Trevor and Jacob, and niece Elizabeth, are growing up so fast, and it is a constant reminder that life goes on. But at least I AM getting older and that is a good feeling. God isn't done with me yet and I am still in the plan he has set forth. So I celebrate life and give love.
James 1:2-3 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."
Love to all,
