I was on a bicycle ride today. For those of you who have read my previous blogs.. you know that's when I think. I'm still in the wait mode until December 11th for my first specialist visit in San Francisco. I'm getting into good shape, for what is to come. Now I really don't know how long of a time that will be. It could start right away.... or I guess up to several years. That time frame will be up to Dr. Martin...and the cancer, of course. My local oncologist told me to get in shape and keep in shape, for when I need it...to be ready. I'm following orders.
That brings my thoughts back to when I was an active duty Marine. We spent a LOT of time just being ready. Training in our jobs, staying in shape, keeping the mind and body ready for ??? It is the same now. What the future holds for me isn't in my hands. It is in myeloma's hands. I need to be ready for the fight. If I start that fight in December '09 or December 2012 I'll be ready.
I feel that God has reasons he puts you in situations. I was never a BIG guy. I wasn't an aggressive type. I never really played sports. Why did I CHOOSE the Marine Corps? Was I crazy, any other service would be easier!!! Well, Jenni lived in Yuma and the Marine base is in Yuma, that is in the duh category. But the Marine Corps taught me to work through whatever they threw at me. That was the exact words my oncologist used. Get in good shape and you will be ready for whatever I throw at you! Maybe that was also a reason I choose to be a Marine. Why God placed me there.
I know how to do this. I know how to stay focused on the task at hand. I know how to not get distracted, no matter how long I wait. THANK YOU to all the Marines who taught me those lessons! !! Who were hard on me, when in my weakness, when I wanted to quit. Who taught me if I worked hard, and didn't quit, they would be there helping me through the task. Just like now!!!!
I will stay ready, and fight when the time comes, just like a Marine.
The body is sick, but thanks to Jesus the soul is alive and well... Steven

That's all true, being a Marine has served you well in many aspects of life, including this one. Always ready... Love you.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's much harder to heal a soul than a body so that bodes well for you. Tim is in really good physical shape and I'm sure this has something to do with why he tolerated treatment so well. Hope it all goes well for
ReplyDeletey'all on the 11th and just think, as opposed to those pregnancy doctor visits for your wife, YOU will never half to put your feet in the stirrups. :o)
