I posted this picture and quote on Facebook one morning when I was feeling really good and my faith in the Lord was strong. Then I went to hop in the shower and get ready for the day. As I looked down at my swollen, painful, and scarred body I started to cry. I told the Lord, "I hate having cancer!" My tears mixed with the shower water and I cried over the pain, I cried over not understanding why I have to go through cancer, I cried over being so scared, and I cried over other emotions that I had been dealing with since I got the news that I had breast cancer. It was only when I had depleted myself did the Lord gently say to me, "Just trust me Cathy." I know what I am doing and I have you in the palm of my hand."
Once again like so many times before the Lord heard my cry and he gave me the strength I needed to face the day. We may think we are strong but it just takes a moment for the doubt to come rushing in and fill us with fear and emotions we thought we had conquered! But the Word says, "When I am weak He is strong!" I am so thankful I have Jesus to walk beside me!
BTW - It really did end up being a beautiful day! ~ Cathy
