"Life is constantly surprising us, often unpleasantly. How we react to this atmosphere of uncertainty determines to a large extent how happy we are."
Last night I & my sisters & my mom fellowshipped & congregated with other women at our church. Our guest speaker is a cancer survivor. I think that this devastating, ill-fated disease has afflicted the human race especially women in staggering number or statistics.
In her testimony, she said that life was reeling, whirled with exciting and very promising events in her own family. Children are doing well at school, she's selling bigger- scale homes exponentially, and life was just a cycle and series of tangible hopes and celebrations.
But we all know that, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV
She went on to say that "women are incredibly good planners, good executors of running errands that amidst the process and exhilaration as a result of mustering our inherent gifts as givers, we forget that we, too, need to take good care of ourselves. And in challenging times like this when you find out that you have cancer, your relationship with God and your family and friends are going to be pivotal and the only thing to keep you victorious over your physical battle."
Fear of dying never dominated her. She knows the power of God's Word and His promises and she claimed it and affirmed it. She has that cheerful look that brings joy to her heart, and good news that gives health to the bones. Proverbs 15:30 NIV
I think the operative message here is that: Cancer doesn't have to shatter and shake your faith in Gods plan for your life. Know in your heart that your body is His temple. Guard it well for all the issues of life springs forth there...
Take care Always
