My Own Road Home
http://www.lorimoon.com
Dreams - I have dreams! Goals - I have goals! Plans - I have plans! Cancer - I have cancer. It doesn’t have me, though. It doesn’t own me. It doesn’t define me. It is an unwelcome intruder into a life brimming with love, hope, courage and strength. And I have vowed to wage war with it, invoke the healing power of Christ who loves me, and walk through this warzone with His hand in mine.
Like every other Christian, I am just traveling through this world - I am on the road Home. But I intend to take the long, scenic way Home, and not let this disease rob me of the joy and peace that God has promised me. He has filled my life with the love of family and friends, the blessings of good humor (mostly ), and more mercies, kindnesses, and happiness than my heart can hold - and I know He wants me to enjoy them to their utmost. I will do all I can to savor each one, every moment in the embrace of those who love me, and in the company of those who share my faith or those who are still searching for Him.
This one thing I do know: He loves me. He loves you, too. More than you could dream or imagine. Flaws and all. And I pray, as did the Apostle Paul, that you will come to know, “… how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,” (Eph. 3:18).
