11 years ago


i feel as if God has given me an *extra* year this day!
i feel blessed, very blessed.
since December 17, 1995 i have
become a mom two more times
became an Aunty
met many new friends...

but most of all
i have come to know my Saviour,
The Light of the World...
Our Lord Christ Jesus
who is my all in all.

I praise God for this wonderful life!
journaling from above layout...
Seeing this picture of Dr. Sutherland immediately takes me back to December, 2005. A time of excruciating headaches. There can be miracles. The surgery was a success then the trials of learning the little details began - like holding my seven month old baby girl. I was crushed *why was this happening to me? It is now a little over 10 years since my brain tumor was removed. I love to hear my Dad quote this conversation..."what are you going to do to her?" He asked in desparation. A very calm doctor replied, "I'm going to save her life!" It is such a miracle for me to hear...because four years later Jesus saved my soul! There were no guarantees that lonely December ~ but i know that someone prayed to God for the first time...someone stayed close by my side...someone believed they were going to save my life. There can be miracles...if you believe. *God answered my question...
"So I can show you how beautiful life can be."
