Today, as I celebrate my 35th birthday, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Despite the countless challenges I have faced - Hospice, the hospital admissions, the diagnoses, the sepsis, the ICU visits, the surgeries, and the back-to-back losses - God has been steadfast in His love and protection over me.
When life was doing what it was designed to do, God was in the midst, doing what only He could do. He covered me, protected me, kept me, and most importantly, loved me, even in the moments where I didn’t have the strength or emotional bandwidth to show up for myself. He never once left my side.
The number 35 symbolizes transformation and change, and it couldn’t be more befitting for the space that God has positioned me in at this place in my life. I am grateful that even when I left Him, God kept me. He sent grace to accompany me and mercy to cover me. He overthrew the enemy and allowed me to go through the fire without so much as a whiff of smoke.
I had initially dreaded the thought of spending yet another birthday admitted to the hospital, but as I reflect, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. My hospital bed should have been a casket bed, but God saw fit to keep me and sustain me. For that, I am more than grateful.
