I would like to say that I have not written on my blog lately just because of busy-ness. But if I was to be honest I would say it is really because I keep thinking there is going to be some cute joke or saying or story that is lighthearted which I can share with you. I do not want people to be sad when they read the words each time they log in.
I HAVE laughed and I have been having fun, but nothing funny to me lately seems significant enough (or appropriate - ha!) to post. So until God sends to me something I think is lighthearted and feel a need to share, you will have to read the sappy stuff.
I have had plenty of very emotional thoughts, read so many great stories, quotes, poems and the like. God is truly speaking to me daily in all that I do.
The holidays are here and all the shopping, parties, giftwrapping, etc. have begun. To some it may be just another year to "get it all done," spend some extra time with family, go to that candlelight service and such. Yes, many of you who read this blog will not forget the "Christ" in Christmas or the reason for the season. I approached the holidays as I always do until something hit me squarely between the eyes last week: this could be my last holiday season on Earth. (I warned you it would be sappy!) cry...cry...
I have always heard so many people who have lost loved ones say, "This is our first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc. without so and so." Boy that really holds meaning for me now! Here I am wanting and begging God to let me have many more holiday seasons with my family by giving me a new liver. The problem: that means I am also praying for someone else to not have any more Christmas' with their family. I have got to wrap my arms around this concept and believe God has a true purpose for this illness and all that comes with it!
In the meantime, I am going to enjoy my family and friends and praise God for the wonderful life I have had SO FAR.
