Pressin' On ~

As I sit outside on yet another beautiful morning, I struggle with discomfort - "the thing" has become such a presence, there are few moments now, when it can be forgotten/ignored. I remind myself that there are so many people who live in constant discomfort and immobility, so much worse than me. Also, that "this too shall pass" - this is a small chapter in a life of almost 50 years and treatment will be starting soon... Deb said yesterday that I will probably have a great sense of relief once treatment has started and I think she is right! As I read in Philippians a few minutes ago, Paul wrote: "I have learned in whatever state I am to be content." (4:11) and then he says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (4:13) So, not by my own bravery or toughness or wisdom, but through Christ do I press forward with hope and confidence and the belief that 'all things are happening with perfection'.
