a peek at me.
My life was divided into sections. BC and AD took on new meaning; before cancer and after diagnosis. There were many divides and sections before and a few after, but this by far is the greatest. This is the Tsunami that rained through my life. In the midst of the storm I found God's presences as He has always been in my life. I found more grace and love than I'm deserving of. I found hope.
This is what I wrote on a web page that I created shortly after my treatments for cancer were over. I haven't been to that website in a long time, and I had actually forgotten what I wrote. I look at it now and I'm surprised by it. I saw that so much more clearly then than I do now. Some things should not be forgotten. I should not forget the close presence of God, the grace, the love and the hope that I was experiencing then. I look back now and I remember the sickness, the struggle to cope, but I rarely think about the good that came with my illness. I wish the blog posts that I wrote through my illness hadn't become the victim of a hacker. I wish that I could go back now and read them.

It is amazing the clarity that can come while standing in the eye of a storm. (I don't mean literally.)
There is a knowing while you're in that place. It's hard to hold onto once you are placed back into the day to day trappings of human living. Sad that we once again find ourselves letting petty annoyances bother us, and we seem to forget that feeling of grace and peace.
