So here's to our 2020 blessings and reflections.
January hubby started chemo and radiation after being diagnosed with AA3 brain cancer, doctors have him a life line of it not actually shrinking just living life with pain except God had other plans in mind. His 1st MRI God revealed his miracle's stunning the doctors it shrunk.
February to April we began researching herbs because God had told us he's not done with us yet. Our grandson Cayden turned 1 year old. I was also blessed finally working fully trained doing Direct Care. FAITH INC hired me. I began learning more about myself spiritually and began trusting God and seeing that I had a purpose in life. I also began to see God had begun a relationship with me having the best boss ever something I've dreamed about just never experienced until my boss gave me a 2nd chance. To this day I still learn so much from her. Tonya Potter is the best boss a person could ever have. I've always admired her strength, inspiration, and treating everyone equal. Also hubby had his 2nd MRI showed more shrinking yes God was working on us seeing where we put our trust! We also began the emotionally hard road in a marriage. Learning to live, I for one had to learn to let things go, work on my anger because my anger would now reflect on my husband's health drastically. It was one road I didn't want to do but had to accept something that was beyond my control. God began working on me that I needed freedom.
May to July we decided it was time to take a vacation from life and time to help our marriage it wasn't on verge but our time was not much so we went to celebrate our 3rd year no facebook loving our individual time. Boy the time away from working was nice we decided we needed 1 more this year because we felt that sometimes working too much was beginning to get to us. I love working but time we value it. Also with covid we had to be the couple that say we were not going to let the government tell us how to live freely. Also we found our marriage being released even more, pictures came, the spark began again like no other. We never stopped but we felt something deeper again. Cancer takes a toll on a marriage so it was deeply renewed. I for one want to be the one that says yes my vows I take seriously. Times will get tough but work thro them. God is the center of our marriage and we want to be the ones to tell the world how God is our role model and guide! Live like no other, Love like no other! Also I decided to help with my first petition to repeal a 1945 law the governor was using to lock us up. Something I did for the first time ever political!
August to September we decided to take another much needed vacation except we went to Manton MI stayed with family and felt country life again. No phone signal up there back to our child hood memories. Also we learned that because of the situation with our daughter she had decided not to come up to see us. Which we started praying for reconciliation because her and I have different views and she had decided she wasn't willing to accept me as my husband's wife. I also began experiencing attacks from the enemy. I had a severe depression I started feeling like I was no body because our daughter had tried to tell my husband he needed a divorce she didn't approve which he told her BIG NO! She also had deleted me off her friends list I began experiencing heart broken and more pain! My husband had started having us pray together and binding that. I heard about Women's encounter coming to MI. I was not fond of going didn't think it was meant for me but God said yes you are going which I fought hard but lost. Ended up going finding the freedom from the bondage and sparking my faith more. I had an encounter like I've never had. Also when I got home God had told me I was going to write a spiritual letter to our daughter not the blame game letter; a letter stating what I had experienced. So I wrote prayed over it felt in the beginning that it wasn't going to work on sending it to our daughter she's not going to be taken by it. Well something I didn't tend to get was knowing that it wasn't for her it was for me. I had sent it and she did act as I had thought she did but what was different the freedom of it. It wasn't about writing to her it was about facing my fears and letting it guide me to peace from being honest and also freedom from fear of her. Honestly still to this day I feel more better even thro were still not talking and I'm still blocked by her.
November to December we began having financial difficulty but prayed that God would provide the money for new tires for the car. Which Black Friday it was provided we had enough money and no debt attached to this detail on the car. We also learned cold weather was hitting hubby hard. His chemo was getting really bad on him. I was working non stop trying to prepare for the cold months. I also learned that my mom found out where we live which scares me but I've also realized that no matter what I'm holding the good end. I have a choice I can let it contain me or live free not in fear. I also learned I enjoyed working the holidays. At my job you are learning all the time. I also had Christmas shopping all done cash flowed and ready to have the best Christmas ever. Thanksgiving was a blast I'm so thankful each day that we serve a God who's merciful and gives us grace. Also December we found out hubby's next MRI wasn't going to be til January due him starting late on chemo a few times back. We also learned that no matter what God has a plan whom are you putting trust in? Also with encounters hubby has been to many of them he has felt called to be a part of them when his health permits! The Michigan Men's Encounter
are family to us. Each one has impacted our life. Our friends whom all love the Lord like we do. Also we realized that 2020 has taught us more than any other year. 3 years and still going. I can't say it's been easy but worth it. Next year will be the best yet! This is our blessed year! It taught us so much! Blessings in disguise! Bye 2020 Welcome 2021!
