“For many are called, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:14, NLT
You are Chosen!
Imagine being chosen by God. Being handpicked by the creator to do something great for his glory. That is great feeling isn’t it? It gives you confidence, purpose, and a feeling of love. This is exactly how I feel at this point in my journey. To know that God wanted me..wants me here is just amazing. I guess you could say that it can be a scary thought as well but the good thing about being chosen is that God guides the chosen he also provides.
Thank God for Being Chosen!
Between the end of November and the end of January I became sick and very lethargic. I ended up in the hospital twice during this time. 1 week each time. Finally at the end of January I found out what was going on. I was diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. When I first noticed a lump it was in November and during the short time from November to January the cancer cells had spread from my breast to my left armpit and liver. You can imagine how scared I was. I was 32 at the time, had always lived a healthy lifestyle to the best of my ability, and had no family history of cancer. Why was this daunting battle given to me? Because I was chosen and so are you.
Perhaps You Were Made for Such a Time as This!
So as I’m taking all this information in, I automatically think about my girls. What was I going to tell them? How was I going to comfort them? How could they grow up without a mother? Because let’s be real, the 2nd thought after receiving a diagnosis like this is…Im going to die! Plus the nurse pretty much told me that was my ending. BUT GOD yall! There’s something amazing about when God has a calling on your life. When he has chosen you to show others how faithful and mighty he is. When God has a plan for your life and he has chosen you, absolutely nothing can interfere with that. The mission can be scary and maybe even uncomfortable but trusting that God is with you is mandatory. It was scary for me but do you know that where God calls you he will provide what you need? In my lowest time he opened so many doors and provided so much support for me to keep running my race. God is faithful!
