Sharing a Piece of My Story



"Last night I had a discussion with a friend and it led me to this note. It is easy to get up and put on a show like all is well and make people feel like you are so strong. When truly inside you are crumbling and falling apart. I say this because some of us do not ask for help when we need it. Not necessarily help from family and friends, but help from God! He should be the first place we turn. But after you ask for help you have to trust Him. Trust Him with all your heart and all your soul and know that He will carry you through. I will be the first to admit that I did not always do this myself.

Those of you who know and follow me, know what I would say is some of my story. You know the last year and a half has not been an easy road for me with facing and overcoming a battle with Breast Cancer. But the last 9 years of my life had been quite challenging and I was not always so Faithful. God had been trying to get my attention for a long time. For a long time I tried to figure out what my purpose was. I remember reading "The Purpose Driven Life," by Rick Warren one year from cover to cover and still, after reading being very frustrated in trying to find a purpose.
