Faith.

Sometimes you just have to remember to...
here are two of mine!
The hardest days are made better by their little smiles...
It is my two Loves that are teaching me today...

I recently read a list of the top 10 ways to waste your cancer. There is one that is weighing heavily on my heart today...






You will waste your cancer if you seek comfort from your odds rather than from God.

The design of God in your cancer is not to train you in the rationalistic, human calculation of odds. The world gets comfort from their odds. Not Christians. Some count their chariots (percentages of survival) and some count their horses (side effects of treatment), but we trust in the name of the Lord our God (Psalm 20:7). God’s design is clear from 2 Corinthians 1:9, “We felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.” The aim of God in your cancer (among a thousand other good things) is to knock props out from under our hearts so that we rely utterly on him.


My plan for today is to ground myself in the verse that I have posted many of times:
Hebrews 11:1
Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.


I know what we as a family are hoping for and I am certain that my God is in control and His design (even if it does not align with ours) is clear!



(By the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pillows above!)
