Today I received a good report from my full body CT Scan results. Everything looked clear! In fact, the pictures of my brain showed that i'm actually a GENIUS! It was kind of hard to believe! :) lol
I thank God for this good news! I'm also so grateful for the chance to meet Trevor Cobb this past weekend. His twin brother is on Luke's all star football team. Trevor found out this fall that he is battling a rare bone cancer and had to stop playing football. He's a very outgoing person & loves football! We talked for about 10 minutes about what we were each going through. Tonight Luke had another game & Trevor was able to make it out. He came right up to me & we hung out on the sidelines together for a while! It was very inspiring to see his big smile & get to visit with him!
We all have situations that get dealt our way & it's up to us to play the hand we're dealt. I'm so thankful that God is giving me the opportunity to meet so many new people & also encourage others to see what life is really all about because of my battle with cancer!
There is a God who loves you & has good plans for your life that have lasting impact far beyond the kind of money we make or career we have. We were created to bring glory & honor to God. We get one life to live & then receive more of what we chose to live for after we die. God demonstrated his love for us by sending his only son Jesus Christ, who was perfect, to die for our misguided ways & offer a better way to live through his grace & truth. My prayer is that you will put your faith in Christ & live for something that lasts for ever!
Have a great week!
Fred
