There's Gonna Be Brighter Days

I have reached a decision. Coming August 4, I will be having surgery to remove my large intestine. I'm so excited!!! Monday night after meeting with two best friends, they listened to me and helped me come to the realization that I already knew what I wanted. The enjoyment and small pleasures that I receive from food is just too important to cut it out of my life for the possibility of still feeling awful!

Just in the past week of making this decision, my mood has drastically changed. Not only, do I feel like a ton of bricks have been lifted off my shoulders, but I just feel excited about my future again. My dreams will be able to come true with this surgery.

There will be more trials and difficult moments ahead of me with this surgery, but God will bring beauty from all of this. I'm not about to give up, I'm gonna move and keep dancing!!

I love my life and the wonderful people God has blessed it with. I will once again be able to enjoy them and enjoy a piece of chocolate too!!

**I would like to share three songs that God blessed me with after I reached my decision and was driving on my way home. (God and I connect through music) The first one sings about how God will never let me go and he will be with me every step of the way throughout this healing process I am about to embark on. The second song promises that he will bring beauty from my trials and difficult times. Finally, the third song brings encouragement that I will dance again!
