#1: You will waste your cancer if you do not believe it is designed for you by God.

Tough one to start out with I guess! Bottom line is this: what God permits, He permits for a reason. He could stop cells from developing. If He does not, then He has a purpose. Satan is powerful - but he is not more powerful than God. Not to say Satan isn't alive and well but I refuse to give in because God's spirit lives within me and enables me to overcome:) I choose not to give Satan one ounce of credit. I committed my life to Christ many years ago, so He is in charge. He always has and always will be at work in every detail on my life.

Today's been a good day. I went to rehab this morning and then mom and I went to Super Target (first time in months for me!) Yes, I got one of those goofy riding carts and put my crutches in the basket and was off to the races. I was very uncomfortable at first, but finally decided it was OK that everyone was staring at me and I took advantage of the opportunity to smile and say hello:) You never know what doors God will open when you put yourself out there.

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And ev'ry tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm - Casting Crowns
