At 25 and just recently divorced from an 8 year marraige, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and was told I had 6 weeks to 6 months to live. I had 3 children ages 1, 3 and 5 and no health insurance. Even though I was told to spend quality time with my family, taking lots of pictures with my children, paying off my debts, and getting "things" in order. I did not. Not because I lacked the compassion for my family, but because I simply did not accept the words of the oncologist. It was like a fotune teller predicting my future, and it just didnt sink in. I lived my life more freely, taking risks, taking trips alone, to places Ive never been before, trying new foods, befriending strangers, playing sports, just doing what I wanted when I wanted and not being afraid of anything! I ignored doctor visits, and pushed myself through the exhaustion. A good friend came to me begging me to come to thier church so that I could be prayed for. I didnt want to go as I was VERY skepticle, but to get them off my back I went. With great hesitation I let the pastor pray over me. When I opened my eyes, I was on my knees in tears, I had felt something, maybe God, maybe guilt?? Im not sure what it was I was feeling inside but I do know that I am now 36, and my medical records read, "unexplained healing". Sometimes not accepting the will that others put on your life, but finding your will is the best diagnosis for over comming anything that stands in your way. The power of thought, and faith in yourself can give you whatever you need to conquire anything! Life was meant for LIVing not getting so wrapped up in your daily routine that you look back and say "where did time go?" The fact is, we dont know when our day will come, so get out there and do those things that you keep putting off...Simply STOP saying, "I'll go....when...., or I'll do....when....." Go TODAY, DO TODAY, because you CAN!
