When I was seven my family and I traveled to Cambridge,
England so I could have a big surgery. It was a very extensive surgery, with
many prayers headed my way from friends and family back home. The surgery was
right before Christmas, and so that year’s Christmas had its share of amazing
things. Not only did I survive, but I also got to meet Father Christmas. Buzby
was there too! They put a crown on my head, making me feel like a princess! It
made me feel better too!! There were also so many presents! A doll, candy,
coloring books, crayons, clothes and a crossword book too. I felt very loved! And
I began healing quickly too.
As I look back it brings tears of joy to me and my family.
There was so much evident love during this time, and my gratitude to so many
was overwhelming!! I couldn’t say enough thank yous. It’s times like these when
I see God’s goodness and provision in my life. He’s not just there with me, He’s
placing people in my life to also comfort me and bring me joy. So much joy!
This is something that hasn’t changed. I continue to find
both comfort and hope in Him. Brighter than an angel, He is to me, letting me
know that I will be okay, and telling me He will always be with me. It’s because
of Him, that I can find hope when I am sad. It is because of Him, that I know I
will see my grandparents again. It is because of Him that I know I one day won’t
be limited by the effects of my seizures. It is because of Him, that I am able
to love and live joyfully the way I do.
This world has a lot of pain; my life has shown me that. But
is has also shown me that there is a lot of joy. And I am continually grateful
to God, for the joy He daily brings me.
