Worthy of a miracle?

I was terrified.

I did not know what in the world had happened to me. It took several days before I was fully alert. The first words I heard from my mom were, “It’s okay sweetie. You almost died. But you’re here with us now, you’re going to be okay. You’re a miracle.”

As friends, family and doctors visited me they repeatedly told me I was a MIRACLE.

Five months prior to this horrific ordeal I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and while undergoing chemotherapy my immune system became compromised which landed me in the hospital on life support in a coma. Doctors told my family that I only had a 5% chance of surviving and if there were a miracle I would never walk or breathe again on my own. But God had a different plan for me. Exactly one year later I ran my very first half marathon with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team In Training program.

As time went on, of course I was thrilled that I fully recovered from cancer and had 100% of my physical health back, but I never really could accept the “miracle” label. Every time someone would call me a “miracle” it felt as though they were shinning a bright floodlight in my face. I wanted to put my hands up to shield myself and hide. It was too much to comprehend.

It rooted from struggling with not feeling “good enough” my entire life. I came from a broken home, was not the best student and felt insecure with just being me. Believing that I was worthy of a miracle was just too much to comprehend. Instead of feeling elated, I felt defeated.

For two years after my healing, I lived in limbo waiting to be found out that I did not deserve a second chance at life … worthy to be alive.

All of the doubt and insecurity wrecked havoc on my faith. I began to question God and his existence. One day I finally gave up and turned my back on God all together. I stopped going to church, reading my bible and even put my Christian life coaching business on hold, secretly hoping to never return to it.

I was in a spiritual crisis! I needed an even bigger miracle, the faith to believe in God’s unimaginable love for me.

Worthy of a Miracle is not only about my physical healing but my spiritual healing and how I discovered my true worth in Jesus. It is a guidebook for any woman who wants to more fully own her inheritance as a daughter of God. And it is for you, no matter where you currently are on that journey. It is not a step-by-step instruction manual on how to become “worthy,” but rather an inspirational practice to deepen your awareness of how worthy you already are by accepting the relationship Jesus offers.

Over the years I learned how to use an acronym as a simple reminder of how to live in the truth about my worth and relationship with God. To walk you through your own shift in perspective about how worthy you are, I share with you the most important lesson I learned along the way: Jesus is the answer.

▪ Just live today.
▪ Expect miracles.
▪ Speak truth.
▪ Use your gifts.
▪ Start now!
