Courage…

August 20, 2007

Courage is being scared to death,
but saddling up anyways.
-John Wayne

That quote is the epitome of my feelings today, yet I know that I know that where God leads, His grace is already there to sustain me. His arms are already there to uphold me.

He is already there.

He didn’t bring me this far to abandon me, and I know that He isn’t done with me yet.

Yet the fear of “what if” plagues my heart. A full year of chemo. That in itself sends my spirit into a tail spin.

Yet I remind myself that some people don’t have that option, they don’t have any options, and it pushes me to saddle up again.

I am determined to beat this thing.

Kris Carr said it best:

‘Cause lady, you are a survivor;
Someone who goes the distance;
This isn’t about the sprint, its about the long haul.

I am a survivor…..I am a survivor.

Heather- I’ve been away for a few days and it is always so good to come back and read how you are doing. You always lift my spirits and I am so grateful to you. Keep it up, darling- you are more than your cancer, you are stronger than your cancer… I am so glad you are you.
