LIVING with HOPE AND CANCER

As if I am going to live.... Lots of people don't know what to say to me. That's okay. I remember being at a loss for words, wondering what to say to someone who has cancer. It's easier to know from this side, from inside the body that is fighting. Can I help you?

Do You Remember?

Jan 09

Do you remember? More importantly, do I??

"Are we preaching a meeting tonight?," I ask for the 3rd time today. I am aware that I've been told 2 times, but I just don't remember the answer...(I have the message to preach inside my head, already...)

"YES," Dennis says, "and then we are sleeping here, and moving on to another city tomorrow, to do 3 meetings in a row."

As he says it, I realize that I have heard it before. I am looking for our written calendar, so I can check it the next time I wonder, and will not have to ask Dennis. I am just praying that I wasn't the last one to have the calendar, and that I have not lost it.

WHOA....is this the slow descent into dementia/ OR, the enemy shooting more arrows?! That question hit hard, and produced tears.

OF COURSE I am still being shot at!

OF COURSE hopelessness is still looking for a way in!

I've got to stop listening to EVERYTHING that is not of God, or about God -- and HOLD FAST to what is true.


WHAT IS TRUE?

I have a Savior, who said, "In this world, you will have troubles, but take heart. I have overcome this world."

So, cancer exists, pain exists, evil exists -- and yet, He is bigger than all of it.

I have a life that is divided between health/cancer treatment, and ministry/traveling.
Not only is He IN both places, with me -- He is OVER both places.

PRAISE GOD!!
