Near death experience of author results in living clear purpose and
what God's dream is for all of us.
The simple aspect of breathing is the most incredible experience.
Each day we get to breathe and be grateful that we are alive. Take a
moment and take a deep breath and thank God for your extraordinary life.
He has great plans for you. You know this, don’t you?
The opportunity is just waiting for you. That’s why it’s important
for us to get on with our lives, our purpose, and to live each day fully
expressing our love for ourselves. Your weight loss goals are right
here and so is your purpose—to feel alive with the riches that God has
given us.
I want to share with you why life is so meaningful to me. My
daughter, Lindsay, just celebrated her 21st birthday and came
home from college to mark this occasion with family and friends. As
we all know the 21st birthday has significance attached to it
as it’s our entrance into full adulthood and all that it brings to
us.
My ex-husband, my daughter’s friend from junior high and I took Lindsay
out to dinner. We laughed and shared stories of their teenage years.
During the course of the conversation, we remembered the traumatic
events which surrounded Lindsay’s birth. My ex-husband then retold
the story of how she came into this world.
These experiences I’m going to share with you are condensed. You
can get the full view in my new e-book, Close Kept Secrets to
Overcoming Illness, which will be on my website
soon.
I was six months pregnant on March 4, 1984 and awoke that morning with
intense pain in my leg. I called my doctor and he thought it might
be a blood clot, but wasn’t too concerned so I got in the shower as I
didn’t want to go to the hospital with unshaven legs. Interesting
where my focus was? While I was in the shower, I began to feel faint
and quickly lied down on the bed. After this episode, we decided we
better leave immediately. Upon arriving at the ER I began to feel
faint again. I told the nurses and they instantly wheeled me into
the trauma room. I could hear them working on me, but all of the
voices felt as if they were light years away. They shouted, “We’re
losing her and the baby’s heart rate is dropping.” I can’t describe
the peace I felt and I only wanted to go to sleep. I felt no
pain as I was slowly leaving this world, but God had other plans for
Lindsay and me. Once they administered a blood thinner, I woke up
and didn’t quite know what had just happened. Unbeknownst to me, the
doctors had told my husband at the time that we could both die and to be
prepared.
What followed was a long sequence of events, but I was able to carry
Lindsay another month. She was born on April 6, 1984 after
almost four days of labor. Yes, four days!! She was born two
months early weighing a strapping 3 lbs. 11 oz and was 18 inches
long. What a gift from God.
I tell this story to illustrate that God has plans for you and
me. I believed in God, but wasn’t fully connected to him 21 years
ago as I was deep in my own struggles with worry and fear and continued
that way for several years. It was through another painful time nine
years ago when I was very ill that I began to know Him on such a deeper,
profound level. Releasing my childhood stuff was the catalyst for
the change in which I saw the world. Through this experience I
realized He had a dream for me. It took some time for me to
appreciate what living in faith meant, but now I am immersing myself in it
as I help others with their weight loss goals and adoption of healthy
lifestyles. This is the dream He has for me. Thank you
God!!
Dreams come a size too big so that we can grow into them--

What is God’s dream He has for you? When are you going to start
living it?
Love yourself as God loves you. Connect to Him and watch how all
the right people show up for you in your weight loss adventures. I’m
so glad you were born.
Love and hugs, Tami
