The Big C & Friends

When you hear the word Cancer what do think of ?
My first reaction is usually:
"I KNOW A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL WHEN I HEAR ONE!"
I get on every prayer chain I can think of, and have prayer warriors get to work.

This never became more true when one of my friends recieved such news.
I could not believe it, there had never been any cancer in the family.
But there it was, in my face and ripping at my heart.
I did not want to loose another friend to cancer.

I know that sounds selfish, but it was another feeling gripping at me.
This woman is my sister, I talk to her all the time at least once a week.
If I lived in the same city, I'd see her more than once a week.
She knows the all kinds of stuff about me, and loves me anyway.
I was there helping to deliever her 6th child. I love those kids.

But I was loosing it and that is just not like me
I will fast and pray at the drop of a hat.

So shaking myself  loose from self-pity,
I start to put on the armor of God and I looked up.
(I do not like back door attacks or baneful whispers.)
The doctors have a plan and so does God.
And so far God has handled every request we have put before Him.
He is good like that-SMILE

Yes, I know that my Heavenly Father can help
us handle what He has allowed.
Not caused but allowed.
I know who I trust and who to call on.
Trust is an interesting thing, and I do Trust Him.
