Goodbye Port, See You Never!

I am asking for prayer tomorrow.

I am stepping out in faith, trusting and believing the Lord has completely healed me! I am getting my port out!!!! 
I ask for no complications and that I won't be too sore!
I have been told that the doctors usually do not remove until at least the first set of scans or after a year. They have no problem removing it now. 

It is just another reminder of what I once had, and what I am free of now!

Thank you for taking me to The Throne
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7

Love,
Gigi

Transitions

So it has been a little while since my last post and I wanted to bring you up to date. 

Pretty much, I just have been trying to heal and gain my strength back, get back to living life,actually appreciating life. Soaking up the mercy of my Father! 
I am challenged by the eating process, that too is getting better. I'm trying to meet up with friends. 
It has been a transition from fighting for my life, to enjoying life. So much mentally to work through. Letting go, not living in fear. Wondering, is it really gone? I can tell you that having had cancer, you are left with a sense of vulnerability. You recognize the fragility of life and how easy it can be gone.
So my perspective has been tweaked a little more. Some things just don't matter, other things do. Apart from my relationship with Jesus, my family is the most important thing in my life! My close friends and brothers and sisters are priority! When it comes right down to it, nothing else really matters! 
So what do I do with this? Whatever God wants me to do with it. I know it won't be wasted! I want to pay it forward! I want to encourage those with the encouragement that has been given me! I want to bring glory to Jesus for what He has done in my life! 
I tell you this, without that relationship with Christ, I would not be the person I am today! I owe Him my everything! He began to prepare me for this journey last year and I knew that He was. My trust in God was strong from my loss of my son. I was familiar with fiery trials. It still caused anxiousness and asking God to prepare me for whatever His will was or His plan for my life. I trust Him!
So now, I am exploring the doors being opened. I know who I am and whose I am. I know that The Lord has gifted me to encourage and help others walk in freedom! I am not mad at God for this trial, as a matter of fact, it has shown me how much more I am loved by Him! Even if my outcome would have turned out different, he would still be good! So I plan to continue my blog and keep you updated. My doctors are very happy with my progress and they will be watching me closely for the next 5 years. I thank God for them and all of my medical team! They feel like family to me! I covet your prayers for me, and I will be praying for you! Love to you all! Here are a couple of pics of my doctors:
