I Will Rise

"I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow
No more pain
I will rise...
There's a day that's drawing near
when the darkness breaks to light
and the shadows disappear and my faith
shall be my eyes...
Jesus has overcome...
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead...
I will rise
When he calls my name
No more sorrow
No more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings..."
I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin 

I WILL RISE... and I am doing just that. I have been encouraged by people to share my life ...struggles and all. I started praying about it with several people and even questioned the whole idea. Really? Me God? Really? Come on this is hard for me to deal with much less putting it out there for everybody to read. I have found that in the midst of my health and life struggles the past two years that God has provided the strength and wisdom I needed.

So join me everyday on my way back to health and a new and functioning normal for me. I will talk about what put me where I am and what I am doing each day as I go about trying to regain my life and the freedom so many of us take for granted. God never promised this life would be easy but he did promise to be with us each step of the way with the strength needed in our weakness at the very moment to get through whatever he wants us to do. To step out of my four wall comfort zone called home and experience the life He has in store for me and my family.

I remember watching a movie with my husband called Unstoppable with Denzel Washington. This movie was about a runaway train speeding out of control carrying toxic chemicals and gaining speed.  It puts an engineer and his conductor in a race against time to chase down the train and bring it under control before it derails and causes a toxic spill that will destroy a town.  This reminded me of my life and the toxic "stuff" including but not limited to my health issues that had me spiraling out of control. Not to mention over hearing a conversation one of my daughters was having in which she stated, "I wish you would have known my mom before her car accident...we were always going and always doing..we were never home but to sleep."

As I experience life, something new or old daily, I invite you to follow along by reading my blog or following my pictures on Instagram (denisec6). I will share each day a little about my struggles and my journey back. Feel free to leave a comment, to call me or even stop by the house.


"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
