A few blogs ago I shared an old story about God sending two boats and a helicopter to a drowning man. Well, those boats and that helicopter was not a 'coincidence.' I don't really believe in luck or happenstance. I think that it was David Jeremiah who said that there are no accidents in God's arena.
A few weeks ago Dr. West asked me to consider checking into some clinical trials at a hospital in Houston, Texas. As it turns out, MD Anderson is the number one hospital in the country for GI Cancer. (which is what I have) I made contract with a good friend who has some experience at MD Anderson. He gave me a name. That person gave me another name. They asked to see my records. Then God-things began to happen. As a result, Diane and I will be traveling to Houston next week. We are not really sure what will happen after that. But we are real sure who does know, and we trust Him.
As I look back over my cancer journey, I can tell you with a firm conviction that I have never caused a door to open. But I can tell you that I surely have walked through many doors that God has opened. It looks to us as though God has opened another door. We are excited!
One note: We had a blessed time sharing my story with the fine folks at New Hope Friends church last night. I think that they heard the message loud and clear. Everybody has as story. Your story and my story is this: It's all about Him!
Think back. Has God ever opened a door for you to walk through? The result?
Have you ever tried to walk through a closed door? How did that work out for you?
