Today has been a messy, doubt-filled day. I feel like giving up. I feel tired. I’m weary and I’m emotional. I am worn out and I am struggling to see God’s plan or understand the goodness this cancer can bring. I am overwhelmed.
I know these are thoughts sown by the devil himself and in that, I reject these thoughts. But it doesn’t stop my flesh from experiencing them. It also doesn’t make it any easier.
Sunday, I had my first seizure. I’m still unsure if it was a seizure though the doctor says yes, but the symptoms point towards that.

There are malicious people out there. There are people who are going to do more than collect what browser you’re using, what operating system you’re on, or what type of device you’re using. They are going to collect your name, your date of birth, and your IP. And in most cases, that’s all they need to learn everything about…
I was so nervous if you’ll recall from my first post. Eating prepared meals that can outlive the apocalypse was a bit scary. I mean, I’ve even questioned if God Himself can destroy the meals when the…
