Chemo Sunrise.

The joys of chemo are starting to wear thin.  One of the effects that chemo has is that when I awaken in the morning I feel as if I have not slept at all.  It is on mornings like these that I have to get up for more than just the feeling of having rested, I must get up to live.  I know that people tend to stay in bed when they don't feel like getting up, for me that is how I used to be, but chemo makes all things different.  I know that if I were to stay in bed the feeling of defeat could easily take over and this fight would be lost.  I push through not because I want to, but because my very life depends on it.  The same holds true with our spiritual lives, if we give in to what our mind says we should do, then our spirit will die.  Just as in life we must gather the courage to get up so that we can live victoriously over the evil that so wants to destroy us.  If we stay in bed then we lose the fight.  I encourage you to get up because your spiritual life depends on it.
