Nothing with God is impossible...
Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God. This verse has cropped up many times this week; first in a blog in which a mother grieves her son whom she lost in the terrible flooding last week. Since, it has been in my head and I have been seeing it everywhere.
Nothing with God is impossible.
Lately, I have been trying to pretend I am normal. As if I am not a cancer survivor. As if I shouldn't have to worry about recurrence and mastitis. Then life reminds you - YOU ARE A SURVIVOR - and through him all things are possible. i can pretend I am in control and even help the big man out by eating healthy, working out, nurturing my spirit, etc. But I am not in control, not one bit. With all that I do to fight this disease, it can come back whenever it wants to and I have no control, at all. That is just plan fact. Sad, devastating, and true. It can sneak up on me and rock my world all over again.
BUT, it is not quite that simple, is it? You see, nothing with God is impossible. With my faith I can fight and be at peace with the cards I have been dealt. I am a survivor - today I get to live and be healthy and happy. I need to rest in his hands and realize that I am not privy to seeing the future and you know what, I am OK with that. Today I will be the best mother, friend, wife, daughter, employee I know how to be. I will nurture those who need it and my faith will guide me.
I have seen much loss and heartache in just this week alone. I am devastated by how cruel the hand we are dealt can be. How does a mother survive her son being ripped from her life from a freak rain storm? She is a survivor, that's how. She rises up with her faith and lives to be the best mother she can be. I do not know Anna, but from her blog and those of her friends, she is strong in her faith and I admire her. She is my hero.
