Cleaning my hard drive files from writing God’s Best During Your Worst, I came across several I couldn’t delete. Like the letters I wrote to my children, just in case I didn’t survive brain surgery. These are not for public consumption, but I couldn’t delete them. However, here’s a file that shows my thoughts on being one blessed gal I chose to share.

A Glimpse Behind the Curtain

I learned during the ten-day journey from brain tumor discovery through surgery then on to healing, there are opportunities for a grateful heart. This is the file I discovered:

The strange places I���ve found myself over the past few days ���

I have no idea if any of this means anything, but it���s been fun to smile, giggle, and appreciate here and there:

I felt my pulse through my tear ducts the other day ��� too coolI did a little cough and heard fluidic noises through my head ��� awesome cool!!My kids are the best hug givers ��� not bone crushing but with purposeLew [my husband] is a multi-tasker and the ultimate everything for meSleep comes either in one chunk or little snippets ��� either are goodThere���s nothing finer than fresh, comfy PJ���s after a shower from being in day-old comfy PJ���sBruises fade and surgical tape can come off with light rubbing and vitamin E creamOther people can make great smells come from your kitchen ��� you don���t always have to be in chargeI love you���s come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and forms ��� all carrying the same intense meaning

I���m one blessed gal.

Cleaning off my hard drive, I was reminded that I'm One Blessed Gal

Make Your Own List

What’s my story have to do with you? Not everyone has a brain tumor and needs immediate surgery. There are several areas of trauma that can wrap us up into knots. Financial … relationships … children … the list is endless. ��You can make your onw list. During even the worst of times, try and find areas for gratitude. It may be in the area of friendships. Because we are relational, friendships are powerful. Check out several of the Proverbs:

17:17 … “A friend loves at all times …”18:24 … “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”27:6 … “Faithful are the wounds of a friend …”27:17 … “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”Be Blessed as Well

Life comes with twists and turns. Tragedy can strike in a moment and change your world forever. But take heart, God is right there with you, through it all the challenges.

He was with me.
