Journal entry by Amelia Przekora —
Hardship seems to either bring bitterness or growth. The old saying is true, "its not the destination that matters but the journey". What have I done with my life this past year of "waiting" for healing?
I cannot believe the journey this past year-ish has taken our family on! Talk about mountains and valleys, wow!! We have seen a lot of those! So thankful for all we've learned and how God has grown us through it! Thank you all for your support and love! I finished up another 6 months of chemo mid-December and had such a wonderful time celebrating Christmas! I am now gearing up for my reconstruction surgery on 1/19 and am anxious to get it over with. It should have me down for the count for a few months. After that surgery recovery, I will for the most part be back to my pre-cancer life minus a scan every 3 months. I am so excited to step into it even more focused on spreading God's love then before!!!

I can sincerely say I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am walking towards it full of hope and peace!! Check out the link I added for this beautiful song (Graves into Gardens), it is one I cannot get enough of!
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You're the only one who can"
