This morning on my walk with Georgia I had a breakthrough. As I am sure you have figured out by now, I get scans for life, with my next ones in February. This is something that doesn’t seem like much when you hear someone has to do it, yet as the person whose life every 3-6 months has to pause for a moment to see if the cancer is back, is not as easy as I thought it would be. I am growing to see how cancer is part of my path for life. Not that I will ever have it again, but the question will always remain, especially with ACC, “will it be back?”
Yet on my walk this morning a light of love shined into my heart and lightened the heavy.
What if having scans for life are God’s way to keep me close to Him? What if being reminded that time isn’t infinite, and is the most precious thing we have, is God’s way of helping me live a fuller, more purposeful life?
I share this with you because maybe you too have a thorn in your side. One we all have in common right now is COVID. I wanted to invite you to join me to...
pause. breathe. pray.
May we consider that God may be using these thorns in our sides to help us live a more purposeful life; a life closer to Him.
I read recently that God didn’t take away the Red Sea for Moses but gave him a path through it.
What if the same is true for you and me?
What if God does not remove the thorn but promises to be there for us to help us through it?
I am planning to move forward today with this renewed perspective, and I pray that by sharing this it may renew some of your perspectives too
With love and hope,
Shawn
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
