This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! I remember singing that song during Sunday school, vacation Bible school and in my early years in private school. It was always one of those songs that reminded me, even as a child, to be thankful for everyday whether rain or shine, good times or bad, fun or boring. Â The Lord gave me life! Â Today is one of those days.
Birthdays have always been special to me. I remember my mom would cook my favorite meal, fried chicken, mac and cheese, collards and yellow cake with chocolate icing, and I would be surrounded by family. Family who were my village and celebrated the importance of birthdays just like me. The Milestones were the greatest: The 1st Birthday, only remembered through pictures 😊, the 5th, preparing for Kindergarten, the 10th, moving into double digits, 13th, now a teenager, Sweet 16, 18th, time to vote, 21st, grown, etc.,  etc.  Now at 46, what say I? Not quite a Milestone but closer to the big 5…0 than not! This 46th Birthday, I’m Blessed to be surrounded by family, have a patient and nurturing husband, and a resilient 7 year old son who loves his mommy bald head and all! He always draws a picture of the two of us in the card he picks out. This year, I have no hair!!!
As I reflect on my birthday, I’m feeling closer to my purpose and closer to why God has had me seeking his purpose for the past 46 years. Yes, I do believe that his destiny begins long before you are able to understand and fulfill it! CANcer is just a way to get me to seek him while encouraging others to do the same. Â I look back on my life and I am hopeful for a future where I can change lives and inspire others to have faith and move forward in life seeking his purpose.
