You know it would have taken me longer than 5 years to be able to see the journey in the peaceful manner that you do – what an inspiration you are to the rest of us.

Just had to say that I loved you the moment I met you what…13 or 14 years ago. Never would have told you that you would still be such an important part of my life! Here’s to your 5 year mark!

An incredible, but uncommon statement — to say that the day cancer entered your life was the start of a journey of joy, peace and grace. Those feelings aren’t often associated with cancer. Your ability to make that statement and to be thankful for that time is a true and unshakeable testimony to the fact that God is real and near. How fortunate we are to be able to enjoy the blooms!
Bless You.

I remember the day you wrote that in your journal and I asked you if you realized what you were actually telling the Lord. I told you that if you truly meant it He would take you at your word and use you for His purpose and BOY, has He! As I have told you many times, the same God that holds the universe is the same God who is holding you. As always, I am proud and honored to say that I have observed you letting Him hold you more times than I can count.

What a wonderful story, that could have had a totally different ending. Thank you for being willing to let God use you. It’s such a profound moment when we realize that He doesn’t need us, He WANTS us. His plan for our lives is always there. We follow it, or we don’t. Imagine the blessings you would have missed out on, the peace that you would have gone without, if you had not allowed yourself to be emptied, in order to be filled. You’re a blessing. Thanks!!

God has used your journey to encourage others who have experienced what you have gone through and those who have NOT gone what you have gone through. You do not know what kind of inspiration you are to so many women, and I want to THANK YOU for being faithful to your calling. I am so happy you are here FIVE YEARS LATER!!!
Love you!
