I couldnt understand why God would take my Mom when I still needed her so much. I was only 25years old then. The following year I had my first back operation followed by 2 more operations which took place over a period of 4years. I now have 4 screws, 2rods and an artificial disc. Bionic woman for sure (ok minus all the stunts) lol!! I made a long list of things after my last back operation in 2008. Things I wanted to do and places I wanted to see but once I got back in my comfort zone I forgot all about that list and why I made it in the first place. Even forgetting the conversation I had with God. Forgetting that He carried me through 4years of excruciating back pain. Everything was fine so why worry about tomorrow? Well unfortunately we dont write our own stories. God had other plans! My one and only anchor, my Dad, passed away in 2011. If I thought I was angry at God for taking away my Mom then I dont know what to call what I felt after my Dad died. After many arguments I decided to pick up what I promised God way back in 2008. Last year I enrolled at University. I wanted to study Theology. I wasnt serious about my studies then. I was lazy! Always too tired and blaming it on my shifts. When 2014 arrived I said that this is going to be my year. Im going to take better care of myself and Im going to spend serious time studying. Boy was I wrong!! I became sick and I coulnt continue my studies.Once again my plans wasnt what God had in mind for 2014. Plans that made me realise that we are not really in charge of our lives. Realising that He truely is the Master of us all. We need to listen to what He has to say and to be aware of where He is leading us. So far 2014 turned out be be an extremely challenging year but I am not afraid of this stage 3 Her2 positive Breast Cancer, its side effects and life long scars. I AM at peace!! I can not ask for a beter Leader and Healer than I have at this moment. He has placed so many wonderful people on this path that most would say is a Godforsaken path but it really isnt. He is there and He has taken exceptionally great care of me!! All I need to do is to be patient and to take beter care of myself. Im doing that with a smile because that is the easy part. My battle is being fought by someone way tougher and stonger than I could ever be! Im at peace and Im safe...
