Your Worst Prepares You for Your Best

Since the beginning of this year, I have been dealing with one of the toughest situations in my life, my father's battle with cancer.  Finding out was very shocking and devastating to say the least.  Through faith in God and love and support however, it hasn't been as bad as we could have allowed it to be.  It's amazing how God was using this situation with my father to prepare me for my new mate.  You truly understand unconditional love when you watch your parents display it for one another when facing such a challenge.  They have been married for 21 years so it was never a question of staying or leaving but an example how selfless love really is and should be.  They both are concerned with the other more than they are with themselves and they would go to the ends of the earth to bring happiness and peace to the other.  I have recently met the most amazing man ever.  Through the opportunity that God has given me to witness my parents marriage as a wonderful example, I was prepared for the man that God has been waiting to bless me with.  I really can grasp the concepts of selflessness, dedication, loyalty and patience like never before.  It's one thing to hear about it but it's another thing to witness it.  When you watch a close loved one like a parent fight the battle of their lives, you value life that much more.  You understand how valuable every minute is and the entry of B.S. in your life is quickly removed and greatness entering your life is quickly received and accepted.  I now KNOW that I can be that great partner that my man deserves because I am a better woman from my worst preparing me for my best.  God bless!
