Day Three

Today was wonderful, I spent it with the family at home, then later went to dinner with my pastors.  I have appreciated all of the letters and prayers that I have received throughout the past few days, I never realized that people would come out of the woodwork so much with their inspiring stories and battles with cancer.  I find it amazing that people who have not had someone close to them survive cancer think that it is a death sentence, but the further I go on this journey the more I realize how many people have been exactly where I am and have lived to tell about it.  When it come to people with cancer there are two types, those that have cancer and those who cancer has them.  The latter are the ones that seem to succumb to it's terrible grasp.  I want to just be one of those people who has cancer, I control it, not the other way around.  I hope that in this journey I can be of encouragement to those who I come into contact with, both those with and those without cancer.  I hope that my faith will inspire you all to grow spiritually, as I plan to grow through this journey that God has given me the opportunity to travel.  I know that some of you won't understand why I call this an opportunity, I hope and pray that one day you will understand.
