THE GOOD FIGHT

This is my journey with God during my fight with breast cancer.

March 5 2010 First Diagnosis

This is my first morning to wake up with cancer after the formal diagnosis yesterday. This song comes to my mind -

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,

His mercies never come to an end.

They are new every morning, new every morning.

Great is thy faithfulness O Lord, Great is thy faithfulness.

I decide to do a blog to record my journey. I choose THE GOOD FIGHT (1 Tim 6: 12, 2 Tim 4: 7) as the title. Greek - KALOS ARGON (both words are masculine!)

1 Tim 1: 18, the Greek word for fight is "strateia" - same word Paul uses in 2 Cor. 10: 14. The weapons of our warfare is not carnal, but from God.

May the Lord help me fight this good fight - perhaps not against cancer. But just focusing in general on the GOOD FIGHT. The goal is that when it is time for departure, one can say as Paul did, 2 Tim 4:7-8

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
