Sometimes simple things that happen, help us to come to the realisation of some parts of this life that we live. We all know I have had cancer, we all know how hard I had to fight to complete the tasks that were before me. Never once did I not believe that I would die from cancer. I believed that I would survive, I also believed I would survive for a reason although that reason was not yet apparent. In its entirety at least. There are many times that I have used the word that entitles this blog, many times every day since we gave a home to our baby doggie “Faith”. Many times me and my wife have held hands and looked at each other, with a look of belief whilst masked with the fear and sorrow that was and is still called cancer.
When ever anyone faces any desease, difficulty, challenge, or life changing situations. There we have to realise, that we have enough Faith to see us through to the other side. Because of course without actions Faith is indeed dead.
Faith for me, apart from our amazing addition to our family. Well it’s something we as a family Mark and Andie, also my further family have had to have to come through the otherside. With my Fathers cancer thrown into the mix. The thing we need most in life, is faith that we will overcome the treacherous road that’s before us. We have to believe that our God, has a plan for us, believing that even what we are going through has a reason. You see that’s why I started writing, why I started the blog you read and share fonzandcancer. Because I believed that I would survive, I believed that I was allowed to have breath in my lungs because I had faith.
When you have Faith, it’s not the feeling or the belief that makes a differance. Anyone can have faith, it’s only powerful when you WALK by Faith. So simple an action as walking by faith, can make more differance than you know. The effect you can have in another’s life starts with a step, and believing that those steps you make are for a reason. I personally feel it maybe possible that I am to turn another corner. Yet I have to step forwards by faith, not knowing what it is that will be my future in God Faith and Love.
What ever you do, make sure it’s something. Every journey you go on, even if it is just to the kitchen starts with a step. For you to achieve anything you first have to move forwards. I read a blog the other day and the person spoke about moving forwards, that it did not matter how far forwards as long as it was just that. You do not know the impact you can have on someone’s life unless you take your own walk by faith.
Remember as I hold my wife’s hand and she mine, we have to believe by faith in what we are together. It’s the same with our God isn’t it, it’s the same with what you believe in. You may not see what the effects have in its physical form, but if you are led by faith trust me, things will happen. For me personally, this up and coming week is most proberbly going to need more faith than I have ever had. I have arranged a meeting for people to discuss new possibilities in our local area for young people. I mean who knows it may just be a hand full of people, maybe I will look an idiot. But how will anything be achieved if I don’t step forwards and do something. Surely doing something is better than doing absolutely nothing.
So I want to end this post by sugesting this to you. That your life is for a reason, and if you believe that by Faith, and move forwards in faith. Believing that. Because only by believing that and then moving forwards can you make a differance. If you do that, you WILL make a differance. Your life is for a reason and all you have to do is step out in faith.
The question is
“Will you”?

I’ve said many of the same words before I truly had God in my heart. I loved him, he loved me but I thought I could fight a battle. Mental Illness and Chronic Lyme Disease is a tough battle, I don’t question if I’ll make it, there are no other options. Now after being stripped of my body and mind from Lyme, I’m 100%. I encourage others to get on their knees, stay till it hurts and stay longer. Don’t ask for things, praise the good, ask for strength and guidance, you are right God always has a plan. I believe the plan is to prepare you for the next challenge in life. It looks that way from my view.
Great post.

So want to hug you for that comment. Thank you sister. Your honesty will affect other people’s lives. You are for sure in Gods plan because otherwise you would not have faith in the fact that you are still here. Remember you are a vessel and a blessing. You live, people will also live because of you, because of the fight you had. Now I think that’s amazing and so are you. 😍

My dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer on Friday. I am sure his faith will remain strong with the help and prayers of family and friends. It’s certainly what kept me going when I had the cancer conversation with the doctor.

Without action faith is dead. Likewise, without faith actions are often heavy and burdensome. I oftentimes see that in myself with all my health issues. Having a strong faith and using it to help others from what you have experienced, is a calling from God we all have.
Blessings!

Thank you, again. But I do not think it is anything as someone who is facing cancer. Yikes!!! I would be terrified at such a diagnosis. I am sure every illness is a terrible struggle for anybody who must deal with it. Some things, however, scare the beans out of me.
Pardon my ignorance, but does having cancer give a person a strength and determination never known to them prior?

Hmmmm, difficult to answer as for me I was born with determination. But it’s possible that cancer can give people a determination that says. “I will because I am told I am not able” maybe it’s a challenge and some do rise up. Some don’t, but it does take a lot of dedication to win the fight. That’s for sure.
