God is great. God is good.

God is great. God is good. Six little words that we have often uttered. Do we really think about them? He is SO great and He is SO good. We can't even begin to imagine just how great or just how good. His thoughts are always higher than ours; His ways are always higher than ours. If they weren't, what kind of a Creator would He be? We can't put his ways in any kind of box. They just don't fit. We often try to explain life with the limited knowledge we have. How absurd! We are the created, not the Creator. Our works of art can't explain us; we explain them.

I am doing well after the recent radiosurgery. I've been extremely drowsy at times, to the point of not being able to function, and I've had some painful headaches, but I haven't had any really bad side effects yet. A lot of people have been praying for me, and He has chosen to answer those prayers in the affirmative. I can't tell you how much I appreciate each one of those prayers.

Today is Monday and I am home again, but if I continue to improve I plan to go back to school tomorrow. How will I do tomorrow? I don't know. None of us do, but I intend to trudge on. When one is faced with a potentially terminal illness, life takes on an entirely new perspective. I've been faced with this a couple of times, and God always shows me what's important. And it's never been me.

I have an appointment next Tuesday with the oncologist I've been seeing since 2010. I guess I'll find out if I need to do any more chemo at that point. If I do, I do. If I don't, I don't. But whatever happens, God's got this.

Each day is a journey in itself. Each moment matters infinitely. How do we spend them? Personally, I tend to waste too many of them. Life is such a gift that can be taken away at any moment. We need to remember that and cherish each one. Will I remember that tomorrow? No, probably not. I'll get caught up in the little things of life, like bad traffic and slow Internet. But for now, I choose to enjoy the moment. I choose to breathe in Life.
