I Survived

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the final airing of Burn Notice and I continue to marvel how God has created this world for us to survive when faced with challenges we never thought we could get through without being adversely affected.

What amazes me is that not only did I survive, but I thrived this past year. In my wildest imagination I would have never guessed this past year would have brought more happiness than I’ve ever experienced before and not just happiness but unbelievable peace, contentment and a deeper love for family, God and life.

Granted I miss the excitement of the anticipation of the show returning each season and the new episodes. However, it has been replaced with excitement each morning wondering what blessing God has in store for me for the day.

God has been answering prayers I have had for years leaving me awestruck by the end of the day.

It truly has been an incredible year.

It actually started about eighteen months ago or so after I first faced the possibility of the show ending. I had become so obsessed with the show that I was deeply concerned that when it ended it would send me into a bout of depression and possibly make my illness unbearable again and I didn’t want to lose the happiness that the show had brought since its beginning.

Never did I realize that making one decision would have turned my world one hundred eighty degrees to the better. That one decision led me from one revelation to another about life and one change to another leaving me now in a position to handle anything that comes my way. That one decision fulfilled my ultimate goals in life.

I have God and Burn Notice to thank for it. If the show hadn’t ended and God hadn’t taken my hand, I might never have made that decision.

I have so much to look forward to wondering where this wonderful life will take me.

Thank you Burn Notice. I will continually be blessed because of you.
