My life is a blip on the radar. But for the sake of seeing someone come to Christ, I want to be a big, bold, and bright blip! This is only accomplished through a determined surrender that says that GodÕs plans are worth my suffering.
The choice was not made to suffer, but a choice in suffering. If I would have been given the choice to not go through cancer, then at the time I would have asked to be relieved of it. I would have missed so much opportunity to give others the gospel and the growth that God did in me, but before I knew that, I would have said, ÒNo way!Ó I didnÕt get that choice, and praise God, he is taking me through it and making me more like him daily.
