Hey G.A.G.O.H. readers!!
Did you miss me? I think I've had a very severe case of writer's block (or is it blogger's block?) Anywho, these past few months have been a pretty rough ride for my family and I. I spent about a month in the hospital with a horrible infection called cryptococcus. It was God alone who brought me through this terrible ordeal, I thank God I'm still breathing. I have decided to write a letter of thanks to God:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I can't, in all honesty, even begin to thank you enough for sending your Son Jesus to die for me; yet here I am, thanking you for saving my life....again. Who can know why you do the things you do, Lord? I know, your thoughts are not my thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. Lord, I'm so glad you are in control. When I lay in the hospital bed, so far from reality, my mind couldn't grasp that I even existed...you were the only One that was real to me. My mom told me that I took her hand and demanded that she pinch me. "Pinch me!" I cried. "I have to know if this is real!"
The infection was affecting my mind, somedays I couldn't even speak, but Lord I knew you were there. I only wished I could have touched you and wrapped my arms around you tightly like I would a teddy bear. I told my parents I wanted to go home...home to heaven. Lord, I wanted you to carry me home. My state of mind scared me so, I thought everything was a dream...or maybe it was a nightmare. Lord, I thank you for being with me. I thank you for all the many people who prayed for me. Thank you for the air I breath to this day. You brought me through and I know you will carry me the rest of my journey here. I don't care what anyone says, only a fool would say you are not real. I just want the world to know that my God is AWESOME, they must know it, because God, you worked a miracle in me...I'm still breathing!!
Amen

Oh my...Bless your heart! I had no idea.
I will be praying for you and your family.
I wondered where you have been. I had just marked this as a blog to return to, when you became so quiet.
You've just given us a marvelous witness in your letter. It just wasn't time for you to go home. There's still work to be done for Him. Glad to have you back to do some of it.
What a truly amazing young woman you are for the Lord! Your testimony and your life have touched so many more people than you can ever imagine!
I pray God continues to bless and use you for His will!
We keep you in our prayers!!
