If you\u2019re looking for a reason as to why this is happening, here it is. This is the Gospel; the good news. At just the right time, while we were still sinners, Christ died to reconcile us to Himself.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/romans\/5-6.html\">Romans 5:6<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Someone had to die for my mom to live, it\u2019s as simple as that. We can&#8217;t miss this point \u2013 Jesus Christ <\/em><strong><em>willingly<\/em><\/strong><em> gave his life to purchase new life for believers\u2026while we were still sinners, completely unworthy of a \u201ctransplant.\u201d Jesus knew full well that, in ourselves, we could never honor that sacrifice, but that didn\u2019t stop Him. Because of His great love He gave Himself for us. My mom will use her life to shout His praise from the rooftops, and so will we. <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/john\/3-16.html\">John 3:16 <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, tell this story. If you don\u2019t, pray to receive His gracious transplant and <\/em><strong><em>live<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>-K&amp;M<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what you\u2019ve done or what\u2019s happened to you. God wants you to be a part of His family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still can\u2019t get over it. I have no idea how the decision happened. Perhaps my anonymous donor checked an organ donation box on the back of their driver\u2019s license. Or, after the fact, their grieving family chose to turn an overwhelming tragedy into a life-giving opportunity. It was a priceless gift to my family and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I received a second chance. Why?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve thought about that a lot over the last seven years. And I\u2019ll I can say is God only knows and I\u2019m beginning to see what He\u2019s been up to recently, but I didn\u2019t have any idea back then. Shame didn\u2019t want me to talk. It didn\u2019t want me to be courageous or curious. It didn\u2019t want me to dream or inspire others; it wanted my silence. But God had other plans for me, I am sure of that, or I wouldn\u2019t be here today. So even with the mess-ups and mistakes, God decided He wanted to use all of it for His glory. He wanted every messy part of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And God wants you too, no matter what\u2019s happened in your life. He has a plan for you too. He isn\u2019t afraid of your mess. So I\u2019m confident, even if you aren\u2019t. I\u2019ll claim the promise and believe on your behalf.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask God right now to give you the faith to believe it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As my family and friends were celebrating and praising God for every hurdle overcome with the most significant physical battle of my life fought, there was still a long way to go.
