Suffering Opens Up the Knowledge of God

My old blogging friend David Wayne (aka The JollyBlogger) on his experience with cancer and the good that’s come from his suffering:

David Wayne - My Battle with Cancer from David Wayne on Vimeo.

I found out that I had a tumor on my colon on December 19, 2008. On December 22, 2008 I found out that the cancer had spread to my liver and lungs and would later find out it was also in my lymph nodes. I had surgery on Christmas Eve 2008 to remove the tumor on my colon, then began chemotherapy on January 27, 2009. This is the story of my battle from those first few days through early May of 2009.

I watched and nodded yes, yes, yes through it all. This is how it is for those who love God.

Thanks for sharing Rebecca. We have many people lately in our church going through chemo or other treatments for cancer.
