From the Journal of Tiffany Dawn Kennard
October 2008
When you are given a
life-threatening diagnosis, all that you hold of value is stripped away. You stand before God with nothing to hide
behind. You lack the strength to even pretend
before Him. There is nothing surrounding
you and you feel bare and vulnerable.
Eternity is just a breath away and closer than any of us can even
imagine.
You have to decide how am I
going to get through this. You have to
choose to have hope and faith. You must
decide to press on. You must choose to
laugh. You must choose to make
jokes. You must choose to live your life
with grace, integrity and faith that God has a plan and that He is a loving
God.
He carries me in His hand –
always has and always will. I can feel
Him throughout all my memories since my diagnosis. I know there were two big angels in the
operating room. I know He is with me in
the MRI machines and I know He holds my hand at each doctor appointment. I can feel His love through the hugs, phone
calls, gifts and support of my family and friends - through the laughs, tears
and smiles. Those are how you have taken
care of me.
I choose to live a life that
honors my God!
