Home Sweet Home

4-13-09 We were all suprised and pleased when Kecia's doctor announced that she would be coming home today! She is recovering so well...still in a bit of pain, but not more than can be expected. She is still pretty swollen but showing improvement. She is able to move about a little better and is increasing the mobility of her arms and upper body. True to her nature, she is actually "doing too much" according to her doctor and actually passed out after being up out of bed too long this evening. Her doctor was not concerned but told her in no uncertain terms to slow down and allow her body the time it needs to heal slowly. She told me today that she caught herself thinking and planning for the future. She has been taking her life one day at a time for so long now. She hasn't really allowed herself the luxury of planning or thinking too far ahead but last night and today she has enjoyed basking in the idea of a future....her future...a healthy one! She said that while she is SO thankful for all of the prayers and miracles God has sent her way, it comes with the huge pressure of living up to God's plan for her. At first that idea scared her...the idea that because she lived through this whole ordeal she had some very special purpose to fulfill. She doubted whether she would ever know what it was or if she discovered that purpose would she be able to fulfill it? She has spent the last few months really soul searching and trying to find out what special thing God was keeping her here for. We discussed that at length today...and I think you will all be just as excited as she was when she told me about it once you hear what she has to say.....stay tunned 'cause this is just a sneak peek...a commercial if you will....you'll hear more in my next post! LOVE YA"LL!

how exciting to hear Kecia thinking along those terms!! I KNOW God has a special plan for her, but this is nothing new. His plan for her life was the same pre-cancer and it is now. Why he chose this path for her I don't know, and we may never know, but be assured its all in His plan. But Kecia, do not be overwhelmed or nervous about fulfilling God's plan. With your heart and mind open to Him, He will show it to you and things will fall into place seamlessly. Whatever it is will be a true blessing and not a burden whatsoever. God blesses his children. :)
