This Amazing Life

This beautiful morning I find myself overcome with an amazing thought, “I am alive”! Not only am I alive but I feel so healthy, thank you mighty Lord. I am so over the thought that I have done a good job and that’s why I am still alive. Without any doubt, God has brought me through to live each day! This is my direction in life, Gods child I am. Jesus is my hope, my strength and I never need strive alone. I strive with him.

I think back to days long ago pre-transplant while fighting Cystic Fibrosis for my life, I was losing. Actually both Renee & I fought with everything we had but always came to the same outcome with death closing in. Thankfully God always kept us both and watched over us even when all was seemingly at loss. We never quit, regardless of the frustration of the ever present sickness of C.F. The lack of getting a full breath of air as the over flowing mucous overtaking my lungs was never coming to an end but instead tormented us every moment. The hospital stays grew longer and more often thus took my family away more and more. Where was any purpose to the suffering every moment for myself or for Renee? Where lay the hope for another day with each other? The doctors looked to me as if I failed the task, or at least my body had. As life dwindled and we became confused and sometimes angry, God never ever left us.

Miracles do exist, God is in the business of making them happen. Even when all hope seems unattainable and the outcome seems as if it’s written, this is when God moves. This is how it was and still is for myself & Renee, my life has been spared so many times. Each day I make an effort to not take anything for granted and know nothing is by accident.

In an attempt to wrap up this mini-message I want those individuals whom are in the fight to know that regardless of your faith or maybe even non-faith, regardless of your struggles, there is hope. Always there is hope. My desire is that you turn to God for your hope. He is not a genie nor is faith a guarantee for survival of what your battle is but I do know without a doubt, Jesus Christ is the only true answer to your battle.

Please find on your laptop or whatever you have and read in the book of John chapter 3, verse 16. If you have any questions please write me, if I can’t answer it I can pray with you. This is the beginning of true hope and I believe the answer for what all mankind needs, especially you!
