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
