One of my best friends was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of June. None of us expected it, and it shook my world to the core. Another friend reminded me that one of my challenges was to be the friend that could listen, could comfort when there were tears, but not to be the one to cry. Our friend needed someone to be real with, and someone that she could count on to not fall apart when she herself was emotional. It has been a challenge, some days more so than others, but I feel like I met the challenge head on, and through the journey I have learned that God is in control, not me, not my friend, and not cancer. I have grown closer to my friend, and to her family. The kids and I spent much time together this summer being distracted from the reality of treatments, and had fun, while growing closer. The journey isn't over yet, but I learned once again that He is in control, He is always with us, and He has a plan for each of us, that only He knows.HeatherMillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13966711975913003874noreply@blogger.com
