My Fight
I have never been one to fight. I can only remember one fight in my life and that one ended with me having a broken nose. Now I am in another fight. You could call it the fight of my life, the fight for my life. My fight is with Cancer. It is a fight against fear, doubts, uncertainties, worries, questions. A fight against the what if's. How do you fight something that you personally have no control over? The only way I know how to fight this fight is through my faith. I have lived my life believing in God and His sovereign will over everything. A belief that has sustained me and my family for years. Scripture says that if God is for us who can stand against us. I have to continue to trust Him, knowing that His will is always best. I trust Him with my life (I gave it to Him many years ago) with my health, with my family and with my future. I feel He has more work for me to do for Him. I have to trust that He will carry me through this fight making me stronger for Him in the future. My prayer is that I will accomplish His will for my life in His timing.
