Thank you very much for your kind words. Your post is proof of the blessing that cancer has been. I have no idea how many prayer lives have been deepened because of this affliction, but this is precisely why I was allowed the cross. That others might come to faith, or pursue a deeper prayer life because of my condition is the most Christ-like that my life has ever been. And, it is not through my labor, but that of the Lord.
Near the beginning of this, I mentioned asking for the reversion to the faith of a co-worker (due to her prayers for me) if it was not cancer, and for the strength to bear my cross - even though it might lead to Golgotha for me, if it was. I have received that strength, and even more than I asked for, thanks be to our Kind and Loving God. He, Who is faithful and true, has never failed me. To imagine that others see my faith as strong, when I view it as weak and superficial, is almost incomprehensible to me.
Therefore, all praise and glory be to the Lord. Again, thank you for your selfless prayer and may God reward you with treasure in Heaven.

I guess I’ve just been feeling a little blue over my own medical woes, which are nowhere near what you’ve been going through. Truthfully, you, who are in need of prayers, post so inspiringly that you have been an encouragement to me.
