"To Live Is Christ..."

Greetings Everybody,
Yeah I know...I've been kinda quiet for a few weeks :)
But there was a reason for that.
Perhaps you are familiar with the scripture that says 
"Be Still And Know That I Am God..." Psalms 46:10


I was quiet & not writing in this blog because I was being STILL.


There has just been alot of drama going on lately, and I needed to just be still.
Don't get me wrong, there have also been a ton of blessings.
Not the least of which is this:  I do NOT have cancer.


There was some concern due to some changes occurring in my body.  
But yesterday, after a diagnostic mammogram, the radiologist told me that everything looks healthy and exactly as it should.


I have been through this scare before...and I would venture to say that at some point in their lives, MOST women go through a breast cancer scare.


But praise God, I am OK.


This doesn't mean that I didn't consider what my response would have been if I had been told otherwise.


I spent some time pondering this.


If the goal of every Christian is to get to heaven, and such a Christian develops a life threatening disease...it seems that on a very spiritual level, it might just be cause for joy...because heaven would be that much closer.


Now before anybody accuses me of martyrdom...that's NOT how I mean this.


I am just remembering the Apostle Paul who said, 
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21


And isn't that how we should ALL be living EVERY DAY?


In Him,
Grace
