A New Sunrise


 
It's been a long time since id had the pleasure to speak with one of my mentors, Suzanne Falter, since the last time we've spoken, come to find out, we've  both had a lot of changes in our lives. Lose of loved ones, big SIGH.
 
 Reason for this post is, it has been 3 years since my loved one's passing. So many of God's wonderful gifts have come with the heart ache. My daughter has finished nursing school, and yesterday was her first day on the job as a nurse. Also my sister has found out her cancer is shrinking, it too was her 3rd year since she found out that she had cancer. 
 
The young man that we met while my husband was in the hospital, he was diagnosed with the same cancer, went on to get a stem cell transplant, has been in remission. Got married, and now, expecting his first baby. 
 
Connected with some wonderful people. We come into this life with a God given purpose,  I'm finding out that when we take God's hands, and be patient, and let God guild us, we will find our true passion and mission here. We're here to share our lives with each other and grow. We're all  different but the same, our spirit is always connected to our one true source-L-O-V-E. I've found that within myself, Love is life, we can't deny our souls of Gods purpose.
