A couple of weeks have passed. Funny, but will I now start to define my life based on the date of my diagnosis? Me before and the ME after cancer? Who knows?

What I do know is that Nov. 10, 2020 will go down in the books as a pretty significant date in my life. SO much has happened between then and today. But one thing I know is that I feel great gratitude. For one, I will not die from my breast cancer. If that is not a reason to celebrate then I do not know what is. Then there is the gratitude I feel for my family. Don’t get me started. I could write a book. And my friends. They are the BEST!

But the peace I feel at this moment comes from the relationship that I have with Jesus. I know this may make some feel uncomfortable. I TOTALLY get it. I was you once. 

Back in March, I wrote about my time in Nashville. Soon after that, a friend gave me a couple of books. One was her childhood Bible. Yes!, Her gift from her parents when she turned 13 years old! This friend did not want to give me her Bible but said she heard a calling from Jesus that I needed it. Since I was gifted these precious books from her I have dedicated time every morning to pray. Let me tell you the peace that that has given me. Each day I pray and then make the decision to live in faith and to try to live like Him. That’s it. Easy. Since Jesus was a pretty awesome dude I find that it is a nice aspiration to strive for. I can’t really go wrong with my daily decisions if I am keeping him in mind. 

Since finding out about the cancer I have continued to trust Him. As Stephen said, this is an adventure and I simply have to have faith that this is an opportunity to learn and continue to have faith.
