It is a disease that touches so many; a disease for which a cure has made great strides; a disease that seems to continually change. Quite frankly it is the disease that scares me the most. But it is also a disease for which many are in remission and for that I praise God with all my heart.
I have 4 friends who are battling this disease at this very moment. And each one of them is fighting a different battle. Each one of them is walking a journey that was not of their choosing. But each one of them is walking though this journey with a Faith and Trust in God that is an inspiration to those around them.
Cancer is not a fight that easily won. It is a fight that takes everything you have and then some. It is a fight I pray that I never have to fight. But it is also a fight that I will choose to help those in my life fight. While I cannot physically do much for them, I can continue to hold them up to the One who Can. I can continue to pray prayers for strength, peace, wisdom and courage for the journey they face. I can continue to ask God to hold them in a way that no one else can.
I know that there are many who are fighting this disease. And I know from my own experience with my dad, it can be a lonely place. If you know someone who is battling this disease, let them know you are thinking about them. Let them know you are praying for them. Let them know they are not alone and that you have not forgotten about them. It will mean more than you can know.
I know this is not a typical post.. but as I said, my heart is heavy for those in my circle and my outlet is to write. I pray God's blessings on each of you.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:2
Because He is God... and i am not...
