Hope in the Garden

Some people's journey's are short trips... some last a long lifetime. I don't know how long mine will last but I am so thankful He is in the drivers seat. There are days when I wish this part of my journey was over. This chapter closed. But all things are in God's time. He has the whole map and knows what stops are best along the way. If I rushed past onto what I think is the best destination, I will most definitely miss encounters I need to have, sights I must see, lessons I must learn, experiences I will be blessed with.

Do you know why so many people are dying of cancer? Do you know why the word cancer strikes fear and anxiety into millions of people? Do you know why most doctors  think cancer is a death sentence?
