So tomorrow I will be starting a new chapter of my life.....yes I will be 40, this has really brought me down this week.....but then I remembered Im here for a reason! Most already know my story, but you really dont. When I was 7 I was in a terrible fire I almost didnt make it out alive...in fact the first few days I was in the hospital burned over 30% of my body and chocking on all the smoke inhalation I slipped into a coma....my kidneys started to shut down....the doctors told my mom for days to call our pastor or preacher and make final arrangements because I was not going to survive the night. Proved them wrong lol! Im good at that...tell me I cant and I will show you I can. Life after that was not always fun.....there were some very rough days! Forgiveness is an amazing thing...I hold no grudges....we were young, kids didnt understand. Now my life has had some moments... some amazing like the day I graduated H.S. or the day I graduated with Honors from Basic Training, or the day I got married, or the days my kids were born! Some days have been not so great too, like almost not making it into the Army because of my scars, or the day my daughter was bit by a dog in the face, or the day they admitted my son because he was so sick, or the day my divorce was final! I have realized that these days good and bad have shaped me to be what I am today.....ME!!!!! I never understood why I went through such rough times noone does when we are there going through it, but I see now,,,,I always questioned why God wanted me here,,,,,I know now! I am here for my current husband, my children.....all of them even if a couple of them dont want to be around....I am here to help people to lift people up, to pray for people, to love people, to watch my daughter go from extremely depressed and on the verge of suicide to a awesome young lady ready to take on the world, to watch my husband struggle with OCD and now has been able to move forward, to love my step daughter when she doesnt feel loved by her blood mother, to tell my boys how much they are loved....to give hugs....to smile......to thank God everyday for this life that he gave me! So I am ready to tackle this next chapter....head high....ready to face what comes my way...I have God on my side who brought my out of the fire lol literally so whom shall I fear!!!!!! Heres to 40!!!! Cheers!
