In January 2009 my New Year’s resolution was fairly simple. It was “Make room.” Make room for Jesus in my heart, my marriage, with my family and friends, in my home and in my job. I had vague thoughts about cleaning up the house and organizing myself better. Instead God answered my prayers with a diagnosis of breast cancer on February 18. I discovered as I sat in doctor’s offices, went for treatments, and even took naps that some things weren’t as important as I had previously thought they were. I was also reminded that the really important things, aren’t things - they are the people God has given us to love.
One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Psalm 27:4

Thanks for sharing so openly with this series! I know people who have dealt with or are dealing with breast cancer, but I have never felt comfortable enough to ask for a lot of details. I think you sharing this could help a lot of people learn how to support friends and loved ones! Thanks!
Found you through the 31 days Challenge! I love how you wrote God answered your prayers with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Thank you for being so open! God bless!
