Remaining in Balance during The Most Difficult Waves

Emotions can easily go "out of control" when one deals with cancer.  What helped me during the operation, and the months following surgery, was remaining focused and centered. 

People frequenly ask me, "How do you do it?" They want to know how I remained fearless during the operation.  They are curious how I made a total and complete recovery with no phyical help ... I did this physically alone.  They want to know how do I remain so upbeat and optimistic no matter what lesson I am faced with.  They want to know how I can forgive those who "abandoned" me when I truly needed physical support. They want to know how I was confident that all would be well in the end. 

My formula: I remain focused with God as my "surfboard" while I handle the roughest of waves. My faith keeps me balanced. My vision keeps me strong. My hope keeps me flexible and open. And my loving God keeps me afloat.

I have a strong connection, 24/7 with Almighty God.  There is not one minute or second of my day when I feel the Divine isn't present.  I not only know, but actually feel the Divine Presence with me always.  During my December operation I "rode my surfboard" with confidence.  I know that whereever I would land, my "surfboard" would lead me to where I need to be, whether on earth or in a heavenly space. People frequently ask me if I ever was afriad.  Quite frankly: no.  And without attachment to fear and totally trusting God as my surfboard, I knew I would be fine, no matter what the outcome.

My life has purpose, and with that I am committed to my vision statement.  Each day I build my growing faith in God.  Traveling in the right direction is essential in reaching a destination. With God as my surfboard, I never feel lost because of my Faith.  My destination is an inner awareness of God's presence. 

My faith is found and builds on itself within.  Here is where I make the conscious connection with God Almighty. With each wave I continue moving.  I welcome each wave, no matter how powerful or high it may be, because I am aware that movement is necessary for my spiritual evolution.  Here is where my strength, life, and love become abundant. Here is where I build on my growing faith that God will lead me in the right direction, and there is no reason to fear.

And by surrendering I allowed myself to open up to an total, complete healing in mind, body and spirit. In allowing myself to become balanced in Faith I have emerged a new person, and I am thankful each and every day for my Life.
