Living the dream

Despite the trials life throws at me, I know I am living the dream. I'm almost 36, I've lived 28 years longer than I was expected to when I was diagnosed with CYSTIC FIBROSIS as an unfant and over 7+ of those years with my donor's lungs. I've not only loved every day of my life but I've been blessed with a wonderful, loving, supportive family and a man who loves me more than I may ever realize in this lifetime. If that's not living the dream than I don't know what is. Being loved unconditionally through the good and the tough times is more valuable than money, fame, recognition or success...my husband is my best friend, the love of my life, my protector and my caregiver. I am one lucky woman. I thank God every day that he gave me this life ALL OF IT. I don't hate CF...because of CF I am the person I am and that it has led me to wonderful people and amazing opportunities. I try to Embrace every page of MY life story...because it's mine and it's special.

My Testimony

It's hard to put into words how I feel toward my Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have so many reasons to be thankful for what I have gone through & endured. Because of my trials in life I have gained a strong testimony of Faith. I have always had Faith in the Lord and in Prayer. As I faced the decision to get a double lung transplant I had to rely on faith to make the choice.....By listening to the spirit, I was guided to Pittsburgh where my life was saved. I believe prayers are answered. I have always tried to follow the philosophy of this: If I do what the Lord expects of me, he will give me what I want & need. That has always worked for me. I Believe in MIRACLES..........My life on this earth is a miracle- I prayed on my knees for years to be healed from my lung disease. I knew that through a priesthood blessing (if it was God's will) I could be healed. So many times I thought he would heal me instantly...my faith was tested as I continued to get sick and no cure was in my future. I turned to prayer....I talked to my Heavenly Father, I cried to him and he heard me and he healed me by guiding me to Pittsburgh and guiding the surgeons hands. I learned humility, and thankfulness. I realized that we need others to lean on and we are supposed to strengthen each others testimonies. I learned that the hardest things we'll do are usually the greatest blessings in our life. I was able to experience a lot of things during surgery and I know I had comforting angels in my ICU room. THe Lord knows each of us by name and he will never leave our side. We need to remember to stay close to him and have Faith that he is watching over us. I know this for a fact! I know that following the gospel will bring us true happiness- the world will tell us otherwise, but I know I am truely happy & living the gospel has brought me that. Amen
