Yesterday I had a really great day. When I left the sky was a beautiful blue, and the temperature wasn’t even freezing. It actually got into the 50’s yesterday and we haven’t seen that for a while here in Washington. I had a work appointment with a very nice couple yesterday and was so happy that I was able to help them and save them a ton of money. To top it off, I had a very nice dinner with a good friend.
I really love studying the Bible and painting a picture for myself of how it all fits together. I like how when you read one passage, that passage is backed up by a lot of other passages in the Bible hundreds of years apart.
Matthew 8:17 is my verse today. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “He Himself took our infirmities and carried away of Diseases
This passage goes back 700 years earlier when Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 53:4, “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.”
Matthew 8 is filled with Jesus healing the sick. I believe that Jesus also took away my disease. One of the many things that I learned through cancer is that we can die anyday. God knows the day he has planned for us. Every single day, we need to wake up and just be so thankful for this particular day. Just love it like it’s your last. Before I got cancer, the thing that I wanted to do more than anything was travel every where before I died. After I got cancer the 2nd time, I just wanted to be with my family. Now I just want to love everyday I live. I still want to travel and be with my family, but it’s the little things in life that really make life meaningful.
