Rose,
I don't have the answer to why these things happen to us either. One thing I have definitely learned through my cancer journey however, is that if we allow it, God is waiting to use this difficult challenge in our lives to draw us closer to Himself and to show His loving character in ways no other experience can. Remember, God is not a religion, He is the real, living, loving, caring, forgiving creator of heaven and earth and you. He is waiting for you to cry out to Him.
I know that this can sound trivial or cliche', but I can honestly say that I am a happier, better, more at peace person now. I love my family and my life, but when my life here is through a better one awaits me. My duty here for whatever time remains is to love those around me with the love of Jesus, and to help Him offer the same free gift of the promises I have to as many others as possibe. Open your heart up to Him, ask Him to reveal Himself to you and mean it, and then hang on for the ride of your life.
You are much stronger than you feel right now. Hang in there, and keep posting. You have found a great resource here to share your feelings, thoughts, fears, conerns.
God Bless,
Cheryl
