Thank you so much for the positive thoughts and Prayers, I truly appreciate them. Times like this is when I am proud (and not crazy) to say I have friends whom I've never met, around the world, who can comfort me. To others it may sound crazy but we all know what we are talking about
Starr your story is just incredible!! I am so happy that you have been so blessed even through all your trials. I have certainly had many trials and at times I felt angry with God, when I was younger. But I got older I realized He just wanted me to be closer to him, that everything in life was a test of our faith. When the doctor told me it was cancer, everyone around me including my husband, my parents and siblings all collapsed. I smiled and said well then I guess it's a good thing you got that thing out huh? He was truly puzzled by my reaction. I said you know what i feel so much better already. Thank you for removing it and I'm not worried. Everyone around me just stopped. I don't think I ever even cried about it to this day. I just always knew I would be ok and that God throughout the night and in my dreams had made me so comfortable and at peace with the whole ordeal. I had nothing to worry about. Even now, I recognize that there are people who are TRULY TRULY suffering from various illnesses and ordeals in life. That mine is a walk in the park in comparison. My good friend just lost her twin baby boy and girl after over 5 months gestation. She worked so hard to get pregnant and were 5 months along when she went into labor. They died shortly after their birth and baptism. I think about what she must be going through and I would be ashamed of myself for being selfish and taking Gods Prayers from her for myself. I give them all to her and her wonderful husband. I know sometimes as humans we are in a hurry to get things done in life but I am learning everyday that as long as I trust in the Lord, things happen while we sleep
I also didn't know about the cancer for 7 years it was just sitting there, BEHIND this benign lump that was growing every year. They would do biopsies and kept saying well it's coming up benign. So for 7 years the small cancer grew and grew and the biopsies weren't catching it because it was behind the lump, where the needle wasn't reaching. It was only when I got tired of the lump growing that they found the cancer DURING surgery. What was supposed to be a 2 hour removal of my thyroid turned into 7 hours of surgery removing cancer. Even to this day I thank God for that ugly lumpy lump lol
Do you have pics of your beautiful kids?
