More thoughts

Cancer sucks. You overcome one obstacle to find yourself at your next. They told me to take it day by day, that it would be a marathon. They’re right each day is a battle in its own.

I was given encouragement just when I needed it and it came in the form of a small blurb right before a sermon. While in Tacoma I attended a church called Life Center. Their newest sermon was recommended on my YouTube so I clicked on it not thinking much of it. He talked about how God shows his faithfulness in the journey and where we are now is not the full story. I had just heard that morning for the 3rd day in a row that my immune system had not risen and I was really upset. All I wanted to do was go home and that news was discouraging to say the least. At that moment I didn’t feel God’s faithfulness, but over the span of 40 days in the hospital? He’s shown faithfulness through those who were taking care of me, through the people who have been praying and wishing well for me, through peace that is able to be found daily. There is really nothing I can do but thank him. That’s not to say I never feel sad, angry, or lonely. I’m learning to give it all to him and not withold anything. To not forget that he is God and can turn my situation for good.

I’ll be adding more to this note but I really need to eat so I’m going to just upload what I have.
