Over the last several years February has not been a good month for us. If something is going to go wrong it happens in February. The last couple of years have not affected us directly, however the things that happen to those around us tend to have an impact on our lives in one way or another. Last week Ash and Steph were talking about how we were going to make it this year with out any tragedy. They spoke much too quickly.
Yesterday we found out that a dear friend has Leukemia. I don't remember the exact diagnosis, but it is a chronic Leukemia, so it is slow growing. She will not have to go through chemo, however she will have to take a pill the rest of her life. If you have to be diagnosed with Leukemia this is the one. (not that anyone wants to be diagnosed with Leukemia)
When I first learned of the diagnosis, my first thoughts went to how she has been living her life and the way Heavenly Father has prepared her. Not only her but her family. They are prepared to take this battle on.
My thoughts have turned to the challenges of the world and am so sad that not everyone has the love and support from our Heavenly Father. I can't imagine going through life without it. My testimony may not always be the strongest and I have my moments of doubt. I know that it is Satan trying to work on me. I know that we are here to learn and grow and become better people. To share the light with others. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us all. It may not always be easy to follow that plan, and it is hard sometimes to always find faith in the plan. But it is the plan for us. I know because I can see His hand in others lives. I know because He make it possible. I know because He loves me for me.
