Thank you for sharing your thoughts after a diagnosis of cancer.
After I was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in February 2023 I think I was in a state of denial. Couldn’t sleep well for a few weeks, would wake up in the middle of the night in a panic. I finally rested when I surrendered my situation to God as he is sovereign.
Each day I try to choose Joy over happiness. Joy is not a feeling it is a choice we make. Choosing joy is about rejoicing not in the circumstances but in who God is within the circumstances. Joy is based on trusting the sovereignty of God and is always available.
