ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Yep, it has been one year to the day that my “boob met the butcher block”! In that year - besides uneven clothing - I have not missed that “large perky well-rounded boob” (ok, let a girl dream - who’d miss a 42 year old saggy boob). My boob was an unnecessary body part at this stage of the game. It had its purpose when the kids were babies. Now, it was an “extra”.

What amazes me is how God can take a “non-necessary” part of my body and use it to teach me some life changing lessons - lessons that are big - lessons that impact my every day. Isn’t it the saying, “God works in mysterious ways”!

By loosing that boob, I have learned to really live for Christ. I don’t “plan” when I can walk the walk but it’s my every day walk. I don’t just decide what parts of my life to give to God, for His will, but I wake up and go to sleep listening and following as close as I can to what God tells me His purpose for me is - how I can work for Him and glorify Him. My heart doesn’t hurt for others or show compassion when I feel like I have some to give - but my heart see the world for what it is and I desire to make an impact on everyone that I meet or God puts in my path. I don’t live by the calendar waiting for the next “big special event” but I live each day like it could be my last. I love the little things - yes, I stop to smell the flowers. Oh, don’t get me wrong; I’m still very human! I just am more awake to Christ in my life.

I have never been so complete - so filled with His joy and peace! What did it take? I had to give up my boob! That’s a little price to pay.

My wish for you all is that you learn these lessons - no matter what it may cost you. For when you walk with God holding your hand and you live every minute for Him and doing it His way, you will find “life”.

I want to Thank you all for living this year with me - through the hard times and triumphs. It’s your love and prayers that helped me learn the lessons and act on them. I am a better person - for I am one step closer to being like Jesus! That’s what it is all about - living in His image!

Here’s to the next year - may we stay firm in our walk and keep our hearts full of His love!!!!
