I won't lie to you, because I'm a person who hates a lie. Plus I love you all too much. I'm somewhat depressed for the last few days. Oh, not all the time, in and out. You see, the old devil keeps whispering in my ear,(what's the use). Every time I look at flowers that I want to be dug up and rearranged, I hear him. Whats the use, you won't be here to see them come back up next year. And just as sure as I fight him off, crying out the name of Jesus, and start feeling better, here he comes again with something else. Please don't get me wrong, I am still with strong faith. I know that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is with me always. And I know when that old devil starts at me, all I have to do is call on the name of Jesus.
I have a Facebook friend, Paula who also has cancer, and she wrote this on Facebook,"I've reached a point in my life where I'm simply not going to do anything I don't want to do.....I've worked hard, took care of me and mine, and now I'm going to rest and enjoy the fruits of my labor.....thank you for your support!" And I thought, that maybe she was in the same mood I was, but she corrected me and said no, she was not depressed, she had just decided to enjoy what time she had left. I guess it's nice to have that attitude..
I want you all to know that I'm not writing these blogs for pity. That's the last thing I want. I just thought that since I'm going through this, that I would educate some of you on what a person with cancer goes through daily or weekly. Plus, tell a few stories of other peoples triumps or failures. Maybe even, tell you a few stories from my youth. Some of my mistakes and some of my own triumps. I hope to make each one of my blogs informative or meaningful to one or more of you. I guess you can say that my blogs make me feel like I have some kind of purpose.
I will say this, if my blog has no other purpose than to remind you of Jesus Christ and his love for us all, then my blog is relevant and has purpose.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. I believe with all my heart that I was created for a purpose. Whether or not I have finished that purpose, I don't know. But somehow I feel like it's me this statement was written for. I feel that Christ is speaking directly to me, these words...................
2 Timothy 4:5
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2 Timothy 4:6
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

The knowledge that Christ may come at any time, gives me hope and excites me.

Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.
