What a month it has been. Full of surprises and blessings. The angels must be on call as I have been touched several times in the past two weeks.
National Donor Awareness Month is always a special time for me. This past week I was taken back to a time when I was on dialysis and the machine was my living crutch so to speak,it kept me alive long enough to receive a kidney.
I enjoyed the small group of dialysis patients that allowed me into their world, a world that was once mine. They shared their fears and their own personal stories, but I was pleasantly surprised by their move forward attitude and their gratefulness to be alive. We must never forget that everyday is a gift and no matter where you are in your own illness or wellness that giving back and loving one another is a free gift to give and receive. Thanks to all of you who uplifted my day.
Other good news following me around like an angel trying to get my attention was this...My first book "Waiting to Die, Wanting to Live" was accepted my Morgan/James Publishing in New York. I was more than delighted. I hadn't been officially called an author until I received their acceptance letter, I can't express how that felt. It was more than I can share. I am so excited to share my story and share the joys of receiving a kidney and living life to the fullest. There is much work to be done, but I am up for the challenge and excited about where God is taking me on this magnificent journey. A special thank you to all my family and friends who have believed in me and have accompanied me on this sometimes long, occasionally frustrating road. True success is earned in the trenches of hard work. So off to do the work with a joyful and thankful heart.
I was also blessed to meet a wonderful young singing artist named Marcy Baruch...Her newest CD is titled "The Strength of Love." I have several favorite songs, but the one that resonates with me the most is "This Inner Space", please take a moment and visit her website at www.Marcy Baruch.com. Her spirit and genuine powerful, yet soft voice comes through every song. She will take your breath away.
The Lord shall command the blessing upon me...in all that I set my hand to do.
(Deut.28:8 NKJV)
Don't tell GOD how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your GOD is.
