Blessings in life can come unexpectedly. Years ago, I discovered the ones that made the greatest impact on my life were the ones that did not seem like blessings at all. It took time for the outcome to be revealed. For instance, when I was in the Air Force stationed in Iceland, an incident occurred that de-railed an otherwise successful career. At the time, it appeared to be bad news. However, in retrospect, that event motivated me to go to graduate school, and resulted in a change in my career that turned out to be one of the biggest blessings in my life. Now I can look back and say “how fortunate I was for that circumstance.” Now when I’m in a battle, or if I’m having difficulty, I remind myself how blessings can hide and ask God “what can I learn from this today?”
Well, today was no exception. After a 2 hour drive to downtown Denver in rush-hour morning traffic, we found out the clinical trial drug for my chemotherapy treatment was accidentally left off the FedEx shipment. Try again tomorrow, apparently it was time for a lesson in patience. I'm still waiting to see what lessons I'll learn throughout this battle J.
