Every year this month, I put on pink jewelry and remember. I remember starting treatment for breast cancer. I remember starting treatment for leukemia.

"Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it may cost all you have, get understanding." Proverbs 4:7

I can honestly say, the beginning of wisdom and understanding for me, started with that cancer treatment. Oh, I'd had other traumatizing experiences in my life, but being physically debilitated and helpless was completely different. Not being able to care for my myself, let alone my family, was humbling to say the least.

You see, I was told growing up, that I could do anything - a very 70's female mantra! But that statement was missing a critical component.

The Power.

There was nothing in my human nature able to withstand the kind of suffering I would endure through two bone marrow transplants; the kind of suffering I would endure at even the thought of leaving my children.

Nothing.

I was not born with promises of hope and a future in me.

I was not born with perseverance and character.

I was not born with the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

But the day my Savior stepped into my heart and soul and His Words came alive to me, that day "I knew I could do everything through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Everything.

He has never let me down.

Never.

And He will do the same for you.

"I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me." Proverbs 8:17

Love to you this day,
