February 23rd marked 18 months since my brain surgery.
Oh my goodness has time flown!
My Dad reminded me, "Hey, that's how long your mission will be!"
It got me thinking.
Wow, that's so true! A part of me wants to say, "What? It's ONLY been 18 months?!" And then at the same time I think, "Oh my goodness, it's been a whole 18 months?!" Lots of mixed emotions here.
But you know what? It really has been a unique kind of mission for me, this past year and a half.
A mission of healing.
I had never thought that a mission like this exists.
But it does.
And that is a description of the journey I have been on the past eighteen months.
A mission of healing.
A mission of recovery.
A mission of revival.
A mission of growth.
A mission of learning.
A mission of beauty.
A mission of miracles.
It has been an incredible journey that I will never forget.
And I'm so grateful that it isn't over yet.
I still have miles to go and lots and lots to learn.
But the person I am now has come leaps and bounds from where I was those short eighteen months ago.
How grateful I am for it.
How grateful I am for my Savior.
And my Father in Heaven.
How infinitely grateful I am for this miracle I have witnessed in my own life.
Who would have thought that in eighteen months I could go from this:
To this:
No setbacks. No side effects. Healthy. Healed. Whole.
What a blessing!
What a miracle.
I have come to a knowledge of so many wonderful things through this "mission of healing".
One thing is that I know more now than I did then Whose hands my life really is in.
As Al Fox Carraway puts it for all of us,
Forget not.
Your life is not your own.
Your life is His.
You belong to Him.
It's His hands you are in.
I know this now with every fiber of my being.
How beautiful it is to know that He is there and that He is the One in control.
I know that we are loved by the God of Heaven and Earth and He will never forsake us.
I know that He is our Savior and He is there.
Always.
And I know that miracles happen and they happen today.
I also know we each have a plan laid out for us.
Each of us are on our our own missions, each one unique from the last.
If it's a mission of healing, a mission of strength, a mission of learning.
Embrace it.
It is your mission and it's your mission for a reason.
Believe in it.
Believe in you.
He believes in you.
And never forget it.
