So here it is, one year and one week after I was diagnosed with the dreaded words, breast cancer. It has been hard. Hard not to think about how I felt that day, that very second that the words came out of my dr.'s mouth. But I have to remind myself how much the Lord has blessed me with and how much I have to be thankful for! So here is a few thoughts I've had this week....
A year ago, I never knew I would be stronger than I ever thought I could be.
A year ago, I never knew I would have more faith in God than I ever imagined possible.
A year ago, I never knew I could be as brave as I have been.
A year ago, I never knew I would learn as much as I have.
A year ago, I never knew such a life changing happening would show me who my real friends were.
A year ago, I didn't even know if I would be here telling my story.

A year ago, we knew that you would be brave and a fighter because you had SO MUCH to live for!

A year ago, we knew you would find your greatest strength comes from God.

A year ago, we knew that you would be living proof that God didn't promise we wouldn't have dark days, but that He would be there to brighten them.

A year ago, we didn't know how much WE would learn and grow just by watching YOU but we have!

"O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things." (Isaiah 25:1)

Your last comment just gives me chills, as the loss of you from the world would have been horrendous. Keep fighting the fight, Kristi - everyone needs you here to show us the way!
