Some of the biggest battles we will ever fight in our lifetime will be the battles of others. We will find ourselves fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves, for those who cannot fight the battle alone, for our loved ones, and even for perfect strangers. The choice is ours.
Recently my aunt lost her right breast in the battle to fight Breast Cancer. She is soon to start radiation and as of today she is CANCER FREE. My aunt is an amazing WOMAN and has embraced this situation with acceptance, love, and faith. She has become stronger spiritually, emotionally, and physically while learning and experiencing the truest form of faith and GOD'S WILL.
It is ok to be weak and fragile. It is ok to feel fear and anger. But, what is not ok is to settle in those emotions. What we must do is recognize these feelings and understand that the focus is not on the emotions themselves, but how we can move past them. We must acknowledge the emotion and the truth within it and once we do that, we find acceptance. Once we find acceptance, we find PEACE and we experience FREEDOM.
If you recall in my previous entry, I spoke about FREEDOM and what it means to truly be FREE. Well FREEDOM also requires consistent and repeated acts of courage. Trust and believe it takes a courageous person to battle CANCER. It takes a courageous person to GIVE EVERYTHING TO GOD and allow HIM TO DO HIS WORK. But most importantly, it takes a courageous person to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
Life is an endless journey of self-awareness and growth. We must be open to the possibilities and realities of change because change is inevitable. It is the one thing WE FEAR and the one thing that keeps us IN BONDAGE.
Once my aunt accepted the truth and reality of her diagnosis with Breast Cancer, SHE NO LONGER LIVED IN FEAR. She embraced the journey and GAVE IT ALL TO GOD.
The message at the end of the day is this.........
WHATEVER YOU CANNOT DO GOD WILL DO FOR YOU!! JUST BELIEVE AND MOVE IN FAITH.
