April 19, 2002 was the day that I received the news that I had cancer. In some ways, it feels like much longer than ten years have passed since that day. But then, when I make my mind go back to that time in my life, it seems like yesterday. I thank God for giving me cancer because I know His will is perfect and I trust His plan for my life.

It definitely was not something I enjoyed at the time. Looking back, though, I see that going through cancer drew me closer to the Lord and gave me a testimony to share with others. I am so grateful for all of the prayers, love, and support showered on me and my family during my battle. I praise God that He brought me through, and I know He will guide me through the rest of my life on this earth until I reach heaven to be with Him.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11
"How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee." Psalm 139:17-18
I hope that this post encouraged you today. To God be the glory. <3
