Have you ever thought about the reason why you’re here? I mean really, honestly, sat down and thought about what it is you were put on this earth for? And, with that … have you thought about why you’re still here? I know I talk about this a lot, but it’s something that I ALWAYS think about.
See, I’m a twin. When my sister Melissa and I were born, we were born two months premature. I was just under two pounds and my sister was 2.5 pounds when we were born. We were in an incubator for the first 6 months of our lives and I have to wonder what was so special about us that we made it? And then I realize … and remember … God knows so much more about why were here then we do. He knows what we are meant to do … He knows why He breathed life into us and He knows when we fail or succeed.
After overcoming that obstacle of existing, even after doctors saying we just might not make it, I realize that His plans are so much greater then my own. And why not use the time that He’s given me to make something and be something, even if failing first is the actual first step.
Granted … at times, I sit back and think about what could have been … but then I realize what already is … which I am certain … is exactly what should be.

HELLO! That is the question I ask all the time! I was born when my mother had an IUD. The doctors told her that there was a 20% chance she would carry me to term. Then I was late (as usual). My mother always told me the "God will Provide". I think that every person is special...however I think those of us born when we are not "supposed" to survive has some sort of hardcore mission in life. I believe that we will one day change the world (or at least our part). There is a great reason you and Melissa survived...if we could just let go of the why and "let go, let God!" We will all find out someday!
