Dear Lillian, you have a purpose

Dear Lillian,

I woke up today exhausted and not feeling well. I went to church and was feeling very dizzy and nauseous. I started to throw myself a pity party about being sick and pregnant during the hottest months of the year.

While waiting in line in the restroom, I overheard a conversation between a pregnant woman and another woman. The one lady asked if this was the pregnant lady's first child. She replied, "No, it's my fourth and I'm about to pop!" The other lady was stunned and asked if she planned to have any more children. The pregnant lady said, "Well, I found out I have cervical cancer and have to have a hysterectomy and go through chemotherapy after I deliver, so it won't be possible to have any more children." The other lady was stunned and said she was sorry that lady has to endure cancer while pregnant. The pregnant lady replied, "It's not a burden! If it wasn't for this baby I wouldn't have found out about the cancer in time. This baby saved my life. There was a purpose for this baby."

I stopped my pity party right there.

It made me realize that you have a purpose in life. A purpose perfectly planned out by God. You may never know your purpose while you live on earth. Some people's lives are still impacting others even after they are long gone. I pray that you follow God's plan for your life.

You may have been a surprise baby, but God planned out the exact time for you to be born. I know He is going to do big things with your life. Love him, honor him and follow him with every bit your life.

-Me.
