If you have battled cancer or know someone who has, you are familiar with the desire for a good report. To me, battling cancer is like being on a rollercoaster. You have many ups and downs. If you have received a bad report, hold on. A good report is right around the corner.
A former student of mine has been battling advanced cancer for several years now. She has been told that her cancer is not curable. She will continue to battle it with different medications to control it. A month or so ago she had received a bad report that the cancer was no longer responding to the chemo treatment. MDA placed her on radiation treatment and tested her again. I am beyond thrilled to report the primary tumor has shrunk and doctors fully expect it to continue to shrink. That is a great report!!
Life is uncertain. In a lot of ways life is like a battle with cancer. It is a rollercoaster. There are many ups and downs, highs and lows. If you are currently in the valley in some aspect of your life, you can be sure that the mountain top is not that far away. This life was not meant for those with a weak stomach. We have been blessed with much and we also have to live with life in a sin filled world and the fallout from that. The one true source of strength is God. This I know to be true. This young woman that I wrote on in the beginning of this blog knows this to be true as well. God has sustained her and carried her. She would very much witness this to you if you ever have the pleasure of meeting her. Go out and be courageous today. Trust in God. Allow the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and give you courage. You are an overcomer.
