There are days when this applies to even me. But I try, try and try again. I REFUSE to give up. I REFUSE to let the evil one win. I REFUSE to let the evil one tear me down and destroy me.
Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength". This is SO TRUE. We as HIS children really CAN DO all things through Christ who gives us strength. I am living proof. I have been through WAY MORE than my fair share of trials and tribulations. But Jesus Christ has been there EVERY STEP of the way. In my 30 years of life (so far) I have had to endure nearly 60 surgeries, SO MUCH pain of EVERY kind imaginable. But our Heavenly Father has been there holding me close,comforting me every step of the way. So I give HIM all the praise, honor and glory. Without HIM I am nothing.
When I say Good Morning, I mean to say!
G----God O---Offers O---Outstanding D---Devotion M---Make us O---Obedient and R---Ready for a N---New day with Him I ---Inspire others please and N---Never forget G ---God loves you! HAVE A BLESSED DAY I Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart. I was 18 when my biological father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer by the time he was diagnosed. I was 3 weeks short of 20 when God called him HOME. Dad fought a long, hard battle. It broke my heart to watch him get so sick, so weak. But, at the same time I was happy to be able to minister to him and reassure him that he would soon have eternal life with Jesus. Eternal life where there is no more sin, no more pain, no more sickness. We had many good talks, prayer sessions in that year. God gave me the strength and the words to say to bring my father closer to God. The pastor who officiated my father’s memorial service sat me down afterwards and informed me that “because of the time you spent with your dad he did give his life to Christ. He is in heaven.” Those words brought me such peace because I knew then that I truly would see my father again “someday, when it is my turn.” June 28, 2020 marked 17 years since Dad went HOME to be with Jesus. Some days it still seems like it was just yesterday. This poem was written by my mother in 1997 when I was 14 y/o. At the time she told me it took her 14 years to write it. I can believe that because of the heartfelt words and the pain and longing for a "normal" life in this poem. Randee Sue For your birthday I dream of filling your wishes As I look outside while rinsing the dishes. I know how you wish to skate, dance or run. You wish to ride a bike, jump rope and have fun. You long to build a snowman or climb a tree, Wear pretty shoes and be active like me. My beautiful daughter, I have wishes of my own. That I have wished all the time you have grown. I wish you my legs and I wish you my health. I wish you this much more than mere wealth. I wish I could promise you a normal life, One without heartache, one without strife. I wish I had your strength, courage and will. After 42 surgeries, your smile warms still. In your young life, we've crossed bridges together. You've held on no matter how bad the weather. Live life to the fullest is one thing I have taught. I've tried to teach things that can't be bought. To love yourself and to show others you care, Are just two things we've been able to share. You are an inspiration to all you have known. You enrich other's lives with seeds you have sown. You cherish every moment of life Randee Sue. Remember I'll always love and cherish you. |
