Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
It has been a very long time since I posted anything. I am going to try to get better at that this upcoming year! As I look back at 2022, I realize all the blessing God has provided me. Medically, I see doctors twice a year for my skin cancer and all is clear for those check-ups. I also see my cancer doctor twice a year as well, for my colon cancer . My doctor says I remain cancer free! I give God the glory for His healings.
Excitingly, we got our first grandbaby this year. A sweet baby girl who was born 14 weeks early, but who has done so well. We love her to pieces. Something about a grandbaby! Also, her Mommy had some serious health complications with the birth, but she is doing great now. God's blessings again! My extended family has had health battles, but God keeps bringing them through.
God has also provided for our basic needs. My husband, Paul, has a good job which provides for us. He works hard too which I appreciate. My children all have jobs and I am so proud of them. Many things we take for granted, but for which we need to be thankful!
In 2023, I want to be more understanding, more kind, more open to other's needs, be a better friend, show grace and share God's love, the only true, faithful, never ending love.
Putting these into practice makes me a better person, a better Christian. I know I will fail at times, but I will not quit. During my cancer journey, I adopted a word "FEARLESS". I still keep this word as my motivator or reminder. Note, I wasn't always fearless during my cancer journey and anxiety still creeps in during my 6 month CT scans, blood work and doctors visits. I does remind me though that I have someone greater than me fighting my battles. I want to be "fearless" in trying new adventures. Change is hard for me so this reminds me it is ok to fail. As the say, "you won't know until you try". Bold and fearless are my prinicipals as a Christian. Taking a stand when it is not popular with society.
I desire to be a better me! 2023 is almost here! I look foward to the challenges with excitement! Phillippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
I encourage you to challenge yourself. Let God be your guide. He won't steer you wrong!
Have a wonderful, exciting, thrilling 2023! Talk soon again!
Blessings,
Angie
