A surprise: Cancer 2022

 Our great and perfect God is full of surprises for those who trust him!

I learnt on Thursday, in the course of apparently unrelated tests, that I have advanced metastatic bowel cancer. I will see a specialist today and expect that events will now move quite swiftly. It was a little unexpected in that apart from fatigue it has been largely asymptomatic. 

I have no fear whatsoever for the future, but complete trust in a loving God who gave his Son that those who know him might have life. I feel sadness for my family and my 91 year old dad, but no sense that this is anything but God’s perfect plan. 

I am thankful for friendship and if you pray, that would be appreciated including for the family, and that God’s glory would be revealed.
