One needs to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames are the hottest as to burn away all the impurities. His eyes never leave the precious metal and knows it is refined & finished when He can see His own image in it....May He see His image in me.

In An Instant

(This was taken from my CaringBridge site)
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
- Proverbs 27:17

I have been thinking a lot about the beauty of this Caring Bridge site. I started this site to keep family & friends informed of all that is going on with me with during my journey with Breast Cancer. In return, it has also become a great source of encouragement for me during the most difficult of days. Most importantly it became a prayer chain in itself, bringing together family and
friends, old and new, encouraging and praying for one another.
I must say that like most families who find themselves in the midst of a health crisis, it seems almost surreal while you are in the middle of it. This time 2 years ago, I was pregnant & happy. I knew it was the 'last' one and was enjoying it to the fullest. I never would have thought that in an instant all that would be taken from me! In an instant I was fighting for my life. In an instant.
I am so grateful for this site and for all of you who have been carried me through the worst of days...and still are. Because I have learned that in an instant things change.
The great news for today is this....there is no change! Nothing new to report...WOW! I sure love that.
I went to the doctor last Friday and all is good. Yes, my back is still in pain...but as I have said many times....I'll take it. :) I'm back to seeing my doctor every 6 weeks...instead of every 3. I just love it when this happens. Next I get to spread it out to every 3 months. Can't wait!
God is good. All the time! Thank you for being a part of His plan for my 'in an instant'. I wouldn't change a thing. Because if I did, I wouldn't be as thankful for where my heart is because of this journey.
My 'in an instant' has forever changed my life. Thanks for being a part of it.
