Over the past few weeks we have experienced good ol' North Carolina weather. It has been cool and raining, hot and sticky, stormy and sunny. But I have found that is the way that life really is.
One year ago today, on June 26th, my brother in law Craig Capps died from cancer. I was diagnosed in November of 2011 and he was diagnosed in December of that same year. We all thought that I would be the first "to go." God had other plans.
Had Craig lived these past months, what would his life had been like? We have no idea. Only God knows, and God chose to not allow Craig to experience it. God has allowed me to experience life with cancer. It is like the North Carolina weather. This week has continued to be beautiful days for me. I have been able to do some serious work as pastor. I have visited, planned for the future, attended meetings, preached some heart-felt sermons and have made some hard decisions. BUT, I have been able to do this without being side-tracked by pain. I continue to have some issues with endurance, but only short day to day endurance. With God's help, I will continue to endure until God calls me home.
What short term endurance are you dealing with today? What long-term endurance are you facing? Philippians 4:13 - look it up.
