Fear Has No Place Here

You asked me if I'm scared and if I'm worried.  I tell you that I take it with a grain of salt and
keep right on going.  If this is what is meant to be, then so be it.  The only thing I can do is continue to live my life without regret.  Fear has no place here.

I have always had belief that no matter where this life would lead me, I am here because God wants me to be.  It is through Him that I exist and because of Him that I persist.  To anyone else, my life has been hard and full of pain and sorrow.  But it is through these experiences that I grow.

My life is in full bloom at this moment.  There are so many things for which I am thankful.  So many of life's experiences have warmed my heart and given it light.  And here is where I am.

After full bloom, there is only solitude and the anticipation of wilting away.  I can stay here and thrive for a little while longer or I can slowly loose all the richness of my fragrance to the dreadful disease of cancer.  Only time will tell.  In a few short weeks I will be given the results and the rest of my life will be determined by that.

I am hopeful,though, that I will have the faith to carry on.  No matter the cost.  I know that I have so much of myself that is dying to come out and show its face.  Maybe I'll write a book or publish my poetry one day.  I know that I have already passed this love down to my children because they also enjoy writing.  No matter the cost, I will still live my life without regret, for fear has no place here.

hugs, and prayers for your results...but...with your heart in the right place, as it seems to be, the results will be just what you need...
I heard the testimony of a woman dying of cancer, and she knew she would be dying any moment, and she whispered to her pastor who was praying with her that she was so excited to die and go to heaven...
wishing you the best...God will bless you no matter what the results....thank your for sharing this

Jellybeans,

Thank you for your kind words.  I will try to remember the woman you refered to regarding her testimony.  God forbid that my condition be fatal, but one never knows.

Thank you again.

Mistletoe Angel,

I am enjoying it here at PIP very much.  Everyone here is so nice and I am encouraged to write again.  I had lost my muse a short while back and just didn't find the urge to continue writing.  Now I have something more to write about.

Thank you for the kindness you have shown me and I hope that the diagnosis I receieve will not be as bad as I am thinking.  (I'm trying to syke myself out.)

Thanks again,
quatro
