I believe some folks are called to endure great hardships because God knows they will rely on Him, shine the light and can testify through the pain of His great love. If that be our families calling I am honored. As I spend time around the Hope Lodge I see many families called to the same and although it is sometimes tough and the suffering is real, it is humbling and encouraging to be in the presence of such courageous people. This journey may not end in April, it probably won't as we know with cancer you can be a survivor but you are never really fully healed while here on this earth. Its a journey that last a lifetime. In all that cancer does, it changes you weather you are the patient or the family member. So whatever journey we have been called to, we will walk it to the best of our ability and strive for one more day to show Gods immeasurable power. Yes our God is powerful, He is mighty, and He is in control. He is limitless. While cancer when you look at it for all it really is in this world, is so small, so limited ....... Cancer cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot corrode faith, it cannot eat away peace, it cannot destroy confidence, it cannot kill friendship, it cannot shut out memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul, it cannot reduce eternal life, it cannot quench the Spirit, it cannot lessen the power of the resurrection! As long as we don't let it! Want proof? Visit Hope Lodge, those folks can testify to it.
Keep loving God and loving people;
