Never forget




Never forget your past.  We always learn from our past whether it be experiences or mistakes we have made.  So when my "memories" popped up on face book today from 2012, it took me aback.  July 31st, 2012 was my first chemo treatment.  I remember trying to be positive when I was so scared.  It was the start of a journey that I hope to never forget.  I don't want to forget, because so many women will go through what I did and I will be able to help them.  So on this day, I was smiling but deep in my heart I just wanted to cry.  It was scary, but LOOK AT ME NOW!!  I have come through to the other side.  I look at this part of my life as an experience.  It doesn't define me. AND it has made me stronger.  I know that I can do anything, because I have survived.  So I am ready for what life has to throw at me, because I know I am strong.  Whatever life throws at you, stay strong, look to Jesus and He will guide you through this difficult time.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.  Instead he is patient with you not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.  2 Peter 3:9

Love to all,

growing my hair

This is the longest my hair has been since, well you know when...before 2012.  I am excited.  My crazy curls are still there so I am hoping they will be a little tame too. My hair is growing a lot faster than I expected.  I hope this means I get through the "in between" phase faster!!
I am learning a lot about patience lately.  I have been having A LOT of lessons in this and I am beginning to think this is a problem area for me.  I hope I learn something fast so my frustration would be more controllable.  I am letting the small things become BIG things.  I know better, I know.
It is a lot easier to give advice to others and listen to them than to take my own advice and listen to me and what God is telling me.  Thank goodness for Grace!

2 Timothy 2:1
"You the, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
