You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Welcome friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my blog. It documents my amazing journey from pre to post double lung transplant. I am a 37 year old mother and wife with Cystic Fibrosis who has been more greatly blessed than I could ever imagine possible!

It has been a bumpy ride, but God has given me strength, love, friendship, and, FINALLY, health. My prayers have been answered, my miracle was granted, and I want to share the joy of my new life with you.

If you are a first time visitor, please take a moment to watch The Miracle of Transplantation video below. To me, pictures speak a thousand words.

My entries begin in April of 2008 and my double lung transplant was December 10. Scroll down to my blog archive and you can read from the beginning or jump around. If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use the search engine.

Eye has not seen...

I have spent a lot of time reflecting recently on the amazing things God can do with my life if I just let Him.  Things I never imagined myself doing have suddenly become my passion.  It is so obvious that God has an incredible plan for each and every one of us, but I think, too frequently, we are afraid to let Him guide us because the path He wants us to take might lead us into unknown territories.

Over the last 5 years, so many things have happened in my life, both good and bad, but I can honestly say, "God was always there".  He was the whisper in the night that gave me the courage to keep fighting for my life.  He was the ideas that flowed freely when I was writing.  He was the muse who helped me to express my experience and my feelings here on this blog.  And, most recently, He was the search engine that guided me to UNYTS.

There are times in our lives that we feel useless, like we have nothing to offer ourselves or others.  Trust me, I know and understand that feeling only too well.  But, we are never useless.  Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 2: 7, 9-10

No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.  It is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him" but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.

What an amazing revelation.  God has always known our purpose, since before the beginning of time.  If we put our faith in Him, He will reveal it to us through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.  Why do we worry about what will come next for us when God already knows and is guiding us?

How lucky we are to be children of God and to know that He has a calling for each and every one of us; we just have to open our hearts and get ready for an amazing journey!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!  Nancy
