Here goes!

I am officially a blogger! After much procrastination and poo pooing I have finally decided to join the rest of the world and create a blog. I guess part of me wonders why anyone would be in the least bit interested in my thoughts and other useless bits of information that I am likely to post here. However, I have often times found myself reading other people's blogs and found them to be not inly interesting but inspirational so......here goes. Bear with me until I get the hang of this thing.

Today is October 1st....the first day of a very important month. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and for ladies who don't think this is much of a big deal...please read on. Exactly seven years ago on October 1st I had the last of 8 rounds of chemotherapy for breast cancer. I was bald, sick, tired, scared and alone.....or so I thought. What I didn't know at the time was that God was with me every step of the way and through this experience I found my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It was while I was on my knees, violently ill, feeling worse than a human can even imagine and feeling so scared and alone that I heard God's voice loud and clear. He said to me "My daughter, I have chosen you for this journey. Do not be afraid but look up to me and I will carry you through it." My life has never been the same since that day that I realized that sometimes God brings us to our knees so we will look up.

I would encourage all the ladies to take a moment out of their busy lives and make an appointment for a mammogram. It only takes a little bit of time out of your day and will mean so much to everyone who loves you. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Spread the word, and wear a pink ribbon!
