7 years

For me, Its funny to think about how God works in 7s and here I sit 7 years nearly to the day when all this started. The blogging – the putting my thoughts out there for others. Now, thinking back realizing the time I’ve taken over the last 7 years has been an immense time of spiritual growth for me. God has shown himself real to me in so many ways, but as I sit here tonight writing this – I realize yet again the confirmation of HIS existence! Scholars denote that 7 is the number that represents completeness, wholeness or perfection. An angelic number that in spirituality is associated with intuition, inner wisdom and a deep inward knowing. What I know is that the Bible says God created the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he rested. I know in Revelations it talks about the seven years of tribulations. The release after seven years is mentioned in Deuteronomy. The last 7 years for me as been a trial period, a time for God to test me and see just how strong my faith could be. I started a new job in 2014, moved my daughter to a school an hour away (commuting). We Moved to a new town in 2015 where we knew no one for a lesser commute on our daughter. In 2016, I quit my job as the commute was too much, only to realize I didn’t do that for me – We nearly lost my mom that year. A terrible car accident had her in and out of ICU for nearly a month. Rehab for three to four more months. It was tough on our family because you see my mom lives in a different town – I couldn’t travel everyday. I had to choose daily to be with my mom or my husband and daughter. During this time my daughter grew sick. She was struggling and I didn’t even realize because I wasn’t there. She didn’t know, but I could feel something. I made the decision to go home, find a new job and be there for her. A few short months later, she was in the hospital severely anemic having a life saving blood transfusion. I felt broken, but my strength was not my own. God kept me going, but shortly there after I developed a heart condition that was diagnosed early 2017. Really – what else you got? I would say God, I don’t know how much more I can take and he’d thrown another curve – Jadyn, my daughter, was in and out of doctors offices consistently after her hospitalization, but no one could figure out the problem. Honestly, I don’t remember too much of 2018 other than that’s the year Jadyn turned 16 and I threw her a huge bash and took her to NYC to celebrate- we both deserved that! Maybe he cut me some slack that year, but it seems there were more setbacks. Then in 2019, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had my own scare. We had biopsies a week apart- mine wasn’t cancer, but resulted in surgery anyway. Just grateful for modern medicine. Met my out of pocket max that year! Moms treatment went well, she’s on the mend, my daughter has a condition I’d never heard of – dysautonomia. I think we finally have the right treatment for her. Fingers crossed! Seven years – it’s been a long time, but my faith is stronger and He’s finally revealed my Purpose! His will for me is to tell you My Truth.
