What's around the corner?

Well the time has come. I must walk a little farther and turn the corner. Corners are both exciting and dangerous. Afterall you can't see what awaits there. It could be exhilerating leading you further down the path but it could also be a dead end. But both of these possibilities could be just fine. You see it is not about a wrong turn it is about the turn. Either way it must be made and it will require some courage to make it. Some would say that there is the option of just stopping where you are and not worrying about facing the experiences that lay in waiting around the corner but in my life that is not an option.

Since I have received the diagnosis of cancer God has caused my life to explode in a multitude of possibilities. I have met with a man that is a personal acquaintance of at least 10 presidential leaders in the continent of Africa and has asked me to work with him there; I talked with our state's governor's husband and we will meet again; Sharon and I are dreaming of a ministry- business that could help many lives. With all that is happening why would I not run to make the next turn? I must do it. Why is there concern?

Tomorrow I find out if the cancer is still there.

God has sent some amazing people into my life that I have endured so much more than me. They have successfully fought cancer for many years. They have struggled through multiple surgeries. They never let the illness overwhelm or cancel out their dreams. I will join their ranks! I am not scared because the presence of God has been all the more manifested before me and in me. I think He has always been revealing Himself to me but now I have eyes to see Him. It took cancer and these witnesses of God to remove my blindness.

So with my eyes wide open I move forward without tentativeness completely trusting my Lord. I don't know what the turn tomorrow will bring, but I don't need to know. My God knows.

Wanna race?

See you around the corner.
