Today I am talking/sharing in church. I am sharing how something IMPOSSIBLE in my life became possible. I have prayed all week to know what story to share. I have decided to share my story of my stroke and how walking, talking and having faith I would survive this challenge.
I was only 30 years old and 7 months pregnant with my last baby. I remember the doctor saying, they did not know if I would survive the night. I prayed to be allowed to live and raise my kids. I really pleaded with God for the opportunity to see my family one last time and tell them that I love them. Nothing else mattered that night in the hospital.
I know without a doubt that God still had plans for me. I am so thankful to be alive. It took me years to feel somewhat "normal" again... but I believed that I could overcome my struggles through my faith. I had special witnesses of God and knowing that HE is real and truly knows each of us personally.

I had no idea what God had in store for me. I would have never thought I would start my own scrapbook company and be able to share my story. I lost my mother after my stroke and I truly learned at a young age what truly matters most in life. It certainly is not things! It is the LOVE that we establish on this earth. It is trying to be the best person we can be and helping others on the way. I live each day with gratitude- profound gratitude- for every single moment of my life. Success is LOVE and all the rest is just BONUS!!!!
Thank you for following me. I am always amazed at the personal love and support I feel from you. I am just a goofy girl who loves to share my passion for life, my family and creating.
I am a firm believer in life that things we think are IMPOSSIBLE are truly possible.

Today I am emotional and thankful for my children. McKay and Gentry go back to BYU today. Oh my heart is tender... I was born to be a mother and wife.
I am truly thankful to be alive and to see this day.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
