I have a few thoughts on my mind tonight and blogging seemed like a good place to write it all down...
1-I don't like cancer it takes so much away from everyone. Whether you have or had cancer, your a family or friend of someone who has or had cancer. Yes, cancer can change a lot in a person and I wouldn't trade having it for anything. Although, it is a horrible disease. When I was going through chemo I spent 5 months not doing the things I was use to doing, but learned a lot. It takes so many people that we love away from us. It takes our moms, dads, grandparents, siblings, children, friends, etc. away from us, way too soon.. This is brought on by loosing a friend who had been battling cancer for the last few years. She was such a sweet lady.
2- I am really excited about planning to go to the Dominican Republic in February on a mission trip. I have never been on an overseas mission trip and I can't wait. I have started to prepare. I have my passport and my immunizations and have started collecting some medical supplies to take with us when we go. I am going with some friends and it is a medical missions trip. I am not sure exactly what I will be doing, but I know that whatever it is I will be doing to the best of my ability, serving and giving God all the glory in it!
Lastly, I have been listening to a lot of praise music lately and today heard this song from Kutless, and it made me think... What are your thoughts? If you lost it all would your hands be lifted high to Him ?
I'm Still Yours
If You washed away my vanity
If You took away my words
If all my world was swept away
Would You be enough for me?
Would my beating heart still sing?
If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives and takes away
If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart will sing to You
When my life is not what I expected
The plans I made have failed
When there's nothing left to steal me away
Will You be enough for me?
Will my broken heart still sing?
If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives
And takes away
If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart
Will sing to You
Even if You take it all away
You’ll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still know
That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours
Oh, I'm Yours
I'm still Yours
I'm still Yours
