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.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

I hope I can help you to experience the love God has for each and every one of us!

May God Bless You with Miracles in Your Life! Nancy

Wow!

I don't honestly know what else to say.  The last couple of weeks have been crazy (in a very good way!)

So, the last time I posted about Hannah, her heart was broken.  Well, though I can't say she is happy about the status of Hawk Nelson, it did bring an amazing opportunity our way, let me explain.

Scott and I were very concerned about Hannah's reaction to the news of Jason leaving; it is hard to see your child so upset.  We encouraged her to pray, explaining that we cannot always understand God’s plans, but we need to trust Him and know that His plans are good.  I kept reinforcing to her Jason's statement that he had prayed on this decision for three years.  We talked about the power of prayer and, WOW, within two weeks of our daily prayers, God answered with an amazing opportunity.

Hannah came to us to share a tweet from Jason Dunn, Hawk Nelson's lead singer:

Are you interested in booking Lights Go Down? Contact me at lightsgodownmusic@gmail.com


So, being the supportive parents that we try to be, Scott contacted Jason.  The next thing we knew, we had scheduled Jason to come to Olean in April!  We are now terrified and trying to find venues for him to play, but we are trying to trust God that He will guide us in this process.

This is an amazing opportunity for the youth in our community and for the girls in my girls group, and I am thrilled to be able to give them this.  We do have one scheduled show at the Obi Community Church on April 20.  This will be specifically for the youth in our community, and we are expecting at least 200 kids to come out.  How exciting!!!

So, that is my big news that will be keeping me very busy in the weeks to come.  Please pray that we can make this a successful event!

We are off to New Jersey and Long Island this weekend for competitions. I am tired just thinking about it, but hopefully Hannah will have a lot of fun and success!

May God bless you all!  Nancy
