I did not write the following blog. Heather Veitch did. I choose to post it here in quotes as it touched me so much. I could say the exact same thing of my own life....She put it so beautifully....
"I thank God so much for my life. I thank him for every minute that he allows me to be here.
I was thinking about my life and how wild the whole thing has been. I feel like I have experienced so many different ways to live. Often people feel sorry for me because of things that have happened in my life... but.. Really I don't want any to feel sorry for me.
I have been given a amazing opportunity to experience all sides of the fence.............. I have been poor. I have been rich. I have been fat. I have been skinny. I have been hated. I have been loved. I have been rejected. I have been accepted. I have been hurt. I have been healed. I have been raped. I have been made love to. I have been hungry. I have been full. I have been desperate. I have been secure. I have been afraid. I have been safe. I have been a sinner. I have been a saint.
I can truly say I know how it feels to be in all kinds of situations. And you know what.. I actually feel sorry for those who have not been giving the opportunity to really live. Many people don't know how sweet it is to be so far in the dark and be rescued and brought into the light. They cant look at others and feel true compassion for them. Or sadly many forget what it was like to be in the dark.
Also through all my ups and downs there is one more thing I am sure of.. I am going to make it. I know that with God I will always make it. He made me.. He knows my flaws ... He loves me anyways. I wont leave Him and He wont leave me."
