Don’t waste your cancer ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

Christians often talk about How God will help us get through difficult times. But do we really believe it?ย  Do/can we act like it?

I borrowed the name for this series from a book by John Piper.ย  He was my inspiration for doing this series.ย 

And for really wanting to try to not only not waste it – but to have such a strong desire to feel God’s love and peace throughout.ย 

And, to look for opportunities to bring that same love, peace, and even joy to people as I went on the journey with God.

You can read all about it here, beginning with diagnosis, through to what hopefully remains as my annual checkup to ensure there’s still “no detectable” cancer.

I’ll give away part of the story up front.ย  The little dog paw boot was made by one of the radiation techs doing my treatment. We had so much fun?ย  Me and K. and the team.ย  It was my pleasure – and I thank God for – the opportunity to both receive from and to bring y to them, so much joy.
