Expect Miracles

I remember this day vividly. Five years ago, I sat in a room when my doctor came in with film. I knew it wasn't good. The tumor markers had climbed and his face pretty much said it all. It was back and my remission was officially over. It was in my liver and my hip. I had a 5% chance of living 5 more years.

When I lifted my head up from the pillow this morning, all I could do was thank God. Thank you for 5 more years of memories with my family,my friends, my husband, my precious little girl. It's been an amazing journey, but I'm not done yet. I pray that God gives me five more miraculous years to do His work and raise our little munchkin. You see, when it comes to miracles...I don't just believe in them, I expect them.

"The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast."
I Peter 5:10

WOW!!! I can hardly believe it has been 5 years!! As I was reading this post this morning, I thought of the song you sent me "Just another ordinary miracle." I second your thoughts, and hope you know I pray daily for you and thank God every day for your friendship!!! I have seen miracles happen in your life for sure in these past 5 years.
