What's Left For Me To Prove?

Since being Diagnosed,
With Breast Cancer...
I tend to not "sweat",
The "small" stuff.

(That INCLUDES..."small" minded people!)

I'm 52 years old...

And, I've done some "things" in
My Life.

I've had..."BIG" titles...
That paid me WELL.

I started at the bottom.

$7 dollars per hour,
Fresh out of an LPN Program in 1987.
And, I was "grateful" for it!
I had a...Profession,
Not "just" a job!
(For a single Mom...It was a "godsend!")

The Apostle Paul gave,(in my opinion!)
The "greatest" summation of one's,
Life Experiences...

"I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all
things, I have LEARNED...both to be FULL
and to be HUNGRY. Both to ABOUND and
to SUFFER need".

And, it ends with...

"I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:12-13.

So, with all that in mind...

The only opinion that "concerns" me....

Is what Jesus will think of My Life!

I was "spared"...From DYING from Breast Cancer.
Have I HELPED another "Pink Sister"...
Through her Journey?

I CONTINUE my "emotional" healing,
From this disease.
Because of my "network" of "Pink Sisters"...
Our Support Group...Is Life-Affirming!
Have I brought another "Pink Sister" in?
Into our AMAZING Community of Support?

I PROUDLY wear my PINK...

I did NOTHING to "deserve" this disease,
(You didn't do anything...WRONG!)
Have I shared this with another Sister?

So...

Whatever "drove" me at work...
The desire to prove...My Knowledge,
My Worth before Breast Cancer...

No longer exists!

ALL I want to prove...

NOW

Is My Life a reflection of Christ?

Do you see "Him" when you encounter me?

I just want to hear the words...

"My SERVANT...Well done!"

Until Next Time...
