I love to share the story of how 9 years ago I was told I needed a bone marrow transplant or I would die a horrible death.  It defines who I am as a person now.  There is life before cancer &amp; life after cancer and the one after is richer, wiser &amp; very, very blessed.  I don't look at the future very much anymore, I look at today, and maybe tomorrow.  God's grace in my life is like manna.  He provides my daily fill &amp; I need to just marvel and praise him for this &amp; in the hope that tomorrow I will have additional blessings.  
I didn't turn a corner, I was shoved off of a cliff &amp; fell into inky blackness.  Is it horrible to say I couldn't even pray?  I just held my breath and let the intercession of others &amp; the gift of the spirit carry me down.  And you know what?  God blessed me with a whole new immune system from a non related donor that has carried me to over 8 years of remission.  
Its hard to go into the unknown, wether a sickness or divorce or loss of job, but if you take it day by day, blow by blow, there can be healing and hope and at the end of the day isn't that the greatest gift?  Hope...wow!
