"Finally!"

I finally FINALLY have come to terms with having cancer. After spending some time today with a dear friend, I told her about something I recently read online. Normally, I don't find much good to read about cancer online. And what good I have read is quickly overshadowed by "bad stories". But today, today was different.
From a forum thread titled, "Recent Diagnosis with Stage 4 Colon Cancer" at cancercompass.com came a paragraph that has forever changed my outlook about having cancer.
"Research is coming out with more and more treatments all the time and the word 'terminal' has lost some of it's punch.  In 2007, I was told to get my affairs in order and it was like a kick in the gut!  No Doctor, or man, should tell anyone how long they have............that is God's business!"
Thank you, B. I don't know why what you said in your response has affected me so. Many people have offered me similar encouragement. Maybe it's how blunt your statement is. Maybe its because you're a colon cancer survivor. Maybe it's because I don't know you?
Maybe it's because ... my doctor has no idea how long I'm going to live. But my Father in Heaven does. I'm turning my recovery over to him and putting my faith and hope in his divine perspective. Thank you for the reminder of who's really in control here ... me and God. That's it. Me for the attitude and strength I possess while fighting the big C, and God for holding my life's plan.
You add at the end of the post:
"Have hope and Faith for a brighter future.  Talk to God on a regular basis; through the day and night, He is so awesome to hear our prayers.  Let people know you are sick and ask to be put on prayer lists."
I'm thinking we share the same faith. If we do or do not, your post have forever, FINALLY changed me during this time of my life.

Carry on,
