Yes, you read that correctly, I thanked God for my cancer. As I sat this morning drinking my first cup of coffee I was suddenly hit with the realization that if it weren’t for my having cancer, I would not have reached out to others and made my personal life so public, I would have never known the number of people that not only like me but actually love me (that’s an awesome thing to discover) and I would not have this testimony. My cancer has allowed me to reach out to people and share but it has also given me the humility to accept help and kind acts from others. I was never very good at accepting compliments or help from people, and that could be construed as prideful (we all know how God feels about that!) I pray that as time and disease progress I will always keep in my heart the knowledge and peace that whatever befalls me, it is Gods will.
