Days have gone by, goals have been met, dreams are being accomplished, mountains are being climbed and I find myself always coming back to this place of sharing my heart, thoughts, desires and prayers. So here it goes....
This summer has gotten off to a busy start, I started a new job from 8 to 5 everyday and am going to school for the month of June. Talk about busy and stressed? But hey it is worth it, it is one step closer to me walking across that stage next May, and boy am I counting down the days, hours and seconds :)... After taking a semester off of school and now coming back into Summer School, it has really challenged me and given me hope.I feel renewed. It has reignited my desire and passions to continue to learn all that I can, because you can always learn more. You never stop learning. You might have the fundamentals you need for life, but that doesn't mean that we don't always have room to grow or learning to do and lessons to apply to our daily lives.
With that being said, it feels good to be back in the books, even though I may not like it always, I feel accomplished, I feel proud of myself. I feel fulfilled because I am fulfilling my dreams, hopes and aspirations to become a teacher. For I know that God has a plan and a purpose for my life. I have seen the doors open that no man can open but him. I am amazed.
As these next weeks approach, I am reminded of God's amazing faithfulness in my life. On July 4th, it will be 4 years since I was diagnosed with Auto-immune Hepatitis. As I remember back to that first time in the hospital,I am stopped dead in my tracks at where I was, where I have been and where God is still taking me. I am in awe of his hand of mercy, grace, faithfulness and love that is on my life. To this day I still don't have the answers i want or desire as that human being who wants to know everything, however what I do know is that what Satan meant for harm God turned it into something beautiful. He turned my mourning into dancing. I remember my mom clearly saying "we will not do this for 2 years with doctors, medicines, blood work etc..." here we are 4 years later still going at it...... Honestly I am reaching the end of my ropes, the end of my journey. I know that everyday I am one step closer to my complete healing, God has promised me I will see that day. I will continue to stand strong in my faith and the promises which God has given me. I will continue to fight this battle, because God has given me the strentgh to run this race with endurance, perseverance, hope and faith. I am thankful because nothing is to big for my God.
Sometimes you go through life, and life is so busy that you just need to stop and "smell the roses" so to speak, you just need to stop and sit quietly so that you can hear the constant still small voice of God speaking to you and reminding you of his constant love and faithfulness in our lives.
So days gone by have had ups and downs. New heights and New Levels. Mountains to climb and Valleys to run through. Goals accomplished and new goals to meet. New Horizons and more opportunities. Dreams renewed and more dreams yet to be made. A fresh hope and a renewed spirit. Through each and everyday I have walked, ran, and continued to tell my story through my journey. Through my Days gone by............
