Before I Was Sick

See a girl with a pretty smile. See a happy girl with tons of friends. See a girl that's as healthy as a horse. See the picture.
Before she was sick she thought her life was perfect. She had great parents awesome friends and she had nothing abnormal about her. This picture was taken two months before she started to get sick. Looking at it you wouldn't tell that she would get very sick just two months later. When it came on she wonder what did she do to deserve this, months went on and lots of things were different. She got glasses, lost a ton of weight, didn't have the same best friends, and you didn't see her smile as much. She misses that girl very much, but if she hadn't changed she won't be the person she is now. A girl that trusts and relies on God.
That old girl is long gone and will probably never be seen again. But because she is gone I now have the perfect life with Jesus Christ. I might be very sick but I have the most perfect life.

Well stated! Being a child with serious illness is not fun for sure. You are handling it with grace! Keep reminding yourself you do have the "perfect" life with Jesus! (I came across your blog from Kaylor Kastle) :)
