"the final countdown" (to continue the 80s theme of the weekend)

its been almost exactly 2 months since i got diagnosed with cancer....a mini cancer-versary if you will.

and after not wasting a second of this last weekend, (see picture of the awesome 80s block party complete with flashdance attire) :

....it starts tomorrow.

the month where they let me get sick again. (for explanation on this, look at the first few blogs). no more "temporary" medicine.

but i pray that i don't waste it either.

here is a link called "don't waste your cancer". i have shared it with many people and i have read over a lot it since i first got diagnosed:

i could write and talk for hours... just on the points this brings up and how incredible things would happen if all cancer patients could live out these truths.

but i won't.

....at least not right now. :) but God has used this small thing to teach me amazing lessons time and time again. i re-read it pretty frequently.

over these next few months, although i am going to do my part to take care of my body as much as possible, i know God is going to use this time to his glory no matter how i may be feeling or what may happen. and that's all i need to know.

so remind me of that.
