Living – Day 14

When you’re dealt with what the doctors say is usually a death sentence, it’s an extremely hard situation to process.  Some people get it all at once and some people have time to soak it all in.  For example: Someone may have been told that they have cancer and and have 4 months to live, or 2 years to live.  Some people are told they have a 50/50 chance. Some people are told it can be cured and they will be fine. The bottom line is that unless you’ve been through a life threatening condition, it’s very hard to understand.  It hits you like a rock and you go numb.  God has given us a protective mechanism and doesn’t give us more than we can take.  Little by little we can comprehend the magnitude of our disease.  It’s important to be as strong as we can, but at the same time you have to grief.  Grief is healthy. Having cancer is the same as getting attacked.  What do you do? Fight back.  Never give into cancer. I don’t know how people who are not Christians deal with this because I could not have done this without God.

Don’t believe it when a doctor tells you how long you have to live because only God knows.  Follow the necessary steps to save your life then give the rest to God.  Study the Bible and speak to God daily.  Focus on God, let him be the center of your life and I promise you will be happy.  It’s just a new and better way of looking at life.  We are all going to die someday and it will be in Gods time, not when the doctor says.

Exodus 23:25  You shall serve the Lord your God: He shall bless your bread and water, and I will take sickness from your midst.
