I read a really cool scripture this morning and wanted to share it:
John 1:5 New Living Translation (NLT)
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."
No matter how dark things may get, as long as we are determined to trust God and not give up, the darkness can’t overpower us. Even though I can’t control what’s happening in my body right now (my mom and I were joking about how we wish there was some special X-ray to see everything going on inside me as the chemo does its nasty business and the new marrow starts to graft), I can control my attitude. Will I let this craziness, for lack of a better word, get the best of me or choose to believe and be grateful for the good things? I’m choosing the latter :).
You probably wouldn't want to see what is going on inside you.....but we all hope/pray/believe that what is happening is good! Keep seeing the sun...the light...and knowing that there are so many good things that your new birth and the chance to lead a "normal" life (well let us not go too crazy) is so worth it. Thanks for sharing this....and inspiring me and everyone I share this with. Love, Aunt D
ReplyDeleteYou are bringing glory to God - and that's what it's all about.

"So we do not give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day." 2 Cor 4:16 NCV

Better late than never! :) That's one of my favorite scriptures.
