A few days before my next ct scan. I talked to a cancer survivor that beat it back in 1993. Almost 20 years later, he says he still thinks about it whenever he is sick. There are all these aches and pains in various areas and they mysteriously disappear as soon as you step out of the doctor's office. I totally understand how he feels. It may be in the way back of your mind but it's back there.
I went to buy a car the other day and the finance manager asked me about life insurance. I told her I didn't think I would qualify. She asked why. So I told her I was just coming off a little bout with cancer. She was shocked. I didn't mean to shock her. Just wanted to tell her the truth. She said I looked great. I said thanks but stop trying to get me to buy the extended warranty. Haha.
Lately, there has been a lot of death around me. Parents of my friends and co workers. My prayers are to them and their families. Those who are christians told me that their parent has gone home to the Lord. In their time of their mourning, they see the goodness that God gives. It is inspiring.
My new car comes with satellite radio. Listening the christian station, I heard this song and it brought me right back to a year ago- right in the midst of my chemo. Life is truly about perspectives- and how you choose to live it

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
‘Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home,
It's not our home
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
Oh and June had a big birthday...but that is a story for another blog day
Peace.
