"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles: they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
New chapters in life. There are so many, moving back to Peachtree City, returning to Christ Our Shepherd, understanding aging. However, the biggest one, by far is Acute Myeloid Leukemia, I had planned for the other new chapters in life - this one I didn't see coming, November 18, 2022.
I was lying in my hospital bed several days after diagnosis. It was a Saturday. I was listening to music and on a serious mind trip visiting with many, many friends and family. It was such a comforting and emotional trip, seeing people in my mind that I had not seen in years, visiting as if they were there. I am lost in how much time had passed when a light unlike any I have ever witnessed enveloped me and shone all around, I was wrapped in LOVE. I was not actually thinking of Our Heavenly Father, but He was thinking of me. He came to me bringing a sense of warmth, love and peace unlike any that I had ever experienced before.
I was not crying out to Him because I know He is always with me, but HE came to be with me!
On March 22, 2023, my nurse walked into my room and wrote HAPPY BIRTHDAY! on my dry board. It was not my birthday as I had known it, but it was stem cell transplant day, another gift from God as He works through others. An unknown German man who shared himself with me was giving me life and A NEW CHAPTER!
May we all spend our next new chapters well in Christ!
Heavenly Father, Carry us as if on wings of eagles and soar into new chapters of life with the knowledge that you will be with us for each new challenge. Amen
