Wooohoo on four years NED, Sandra! That's a happy milestone and I'm glad for you. Thank you for sharing that verse--what a lovely word picture and truth to ponder.

Here's a poem that has been a blessing to me in my battles:

“Sometimes on the Rock I tremble
Weak of heart and faint of knee,
But the Steadfast Rock of Ages
Never trembles under me.”

Thank you Paula. I love your poem. I had found strenght to go on in Winston Churchill's quote that was at the bottom of my signature. I decided this quote from Jeremiah was so inspirational I just had to change.

"Being diagnosed of cancer comes with a lot of uncertainties. It comes with a baggage that is bound to test your very character. Cancer is not the end of your life; it actually marks a new beginning. You should not let this disease rule over your life. It has to be fought, not feared. It can be handled and it can be battled with. Many people have done it, many people have survived it, and so can you...you are not alone in this fight."

“God loves to bless you. He has even declared that ‘blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.’ This means that you can’t run fast enough to escape them! When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting for you. When you turn another corner, you run smack into another blessing!"
---From a Bible devotional thought a friend sent me, unknown author

Quote from the site below the poster:

“Choose Joy.
The universe works this way: you can choose joy like your weather, like your very own sky.
Like your very own oxygen.”


I have a different perspective on references to the Universe. My personization of the quote to fit it for me would be:

“Choose joy, moment by moment, Paula...the kind that has nothing to do with circumstances and emotion and everything to do with God and His goodness. Because the joy of the Lord is my strength: I can choose joy like my weather, like my very own sky. Like my very own oxygen.”


Some of you guys might enjoy poking around the website. I love the music and photography there: http://www.aholyexperience.com/ and there are some treasures and wonderful quotes on the site as well as in the book the author of the website has written "1000 Gifts: A dare to live fully where you are". That book spurred me on to write down a 1000 gift gratefulness list in my blog through the storms of cancer and continues to do me a world of good.

"Impossible is a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is an opinion, not a fact. Impossible isn't a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

--David Beckham in Kris Carr's Crazy, Sexy Cancer Tips




"For with God NOTHING will be impossible.”
Luke 1:37

War Strategies That Can Apply to Fighting Cancer

---

1. “Wars are fought strategically. one battle at a time.
2 . Wars are fought on more than one front.
3. We must expect setbacks and defeats along the way.
4. When we lose a battle, we must get back on track immediately, so we don’t lose the war.
5. We will not win if we refuse to fight.”
——Carole Lewis

"If you can't fly, then run.
If you can't run, then walk.
If you can't walk, then crawl.
But no matter what, just keep moving forward."

Attitude
By Charles Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of
attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important
than facts. It is more important than the past, than
education, than money, than circumstances, than
failures, than successes, than what other people think
or say or do. It is more important than appearance,
giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a
company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is
we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we
will embrace for that day. We cannot change our
past... we cannot change the fact that people will act
in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the string we have,
and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is
10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And
so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."
