Journal entry by Krashaun Simmonds —
So I did it. I had to. It was coming out in chunks. Having cancer and taking this next step makes things even more real. It’s like there’s no escape. People look at you weird, some tell you how sorry they are for you and some cry. I’m the cliché bald cancer patient. But that’s not who I really am. I chose not to go through this situation cast down and sad. I woke up today and I’m still here. I have my family and people who love me. When you go through something like this you have to grab a hold of what is good and true. And what I know to be true is Jesus has my back. Not only my back but every single facet of me and my life. He is always with me! “But ADONAI — it is he who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you, so don’t be afraid or downhearted.””
D'varim (Deu) 31:8 CJB
I Choose joy in this situation! This does not mean I don’t have bad or sad moments. What it means is I choose not to stay there. I don’t have time for that. No one has time for that. We must keep our eyes on Jesus. It is the only way to make it. He is true, He is just and He loves us. I am learning just how much day by day. My hope is in Him and Him alone. “Let us continue holding fast to the hope we acknowledge, without wavering; for the One who made the promise is trustworthy.”
Messianic Jews (Heb) 10:23 CJB
