I Choose Completion

"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." -Philippians 1:6


Life is always going forward. Never stopping for nothing. Although, there are things that come along that seem to make time stand still. It's these times that we are challenged to move ahead even when the desire is lack.

Time stood still for months back in 2007. But yet it seemed to race forward with me barely hanging on. I felt so lost but never more in control. He embraced me even before I was shaken with the diagnosis of cancer. He had a purpose.

Him.

This journey of cancer was about Him. I had a choice. Continue to claim my belief and love for my Father. Or, walk away. No wishy washy Christianity anymore. No gray. Only black or white.

I chose. And I've been challenged with tests like never before....for this is how the enemy, His enemy, my enemy works. But still I choose.

And I continue to strive to see His face. In the process I have been blessed with miracles that have granted me the opportunity to day by day become healthier. I move in forward motion toward godliness that is pleasing to Him. And I must never forget that just as He began His good works in me, He WILL see it to completion. He didn't heal me and then move on to something/someone else. Now that I'm cancer free doesn't mean that I'm on my own. His strength and provision is the same as it has been since this all began. Since He placed me the womb. Since the beginning of time.

He began a good work in me. And He will complete it. I'm in the middle of this with Him continually showing me that I must take His hand and allow Him the lead. In all honesty, I cannot even fathom what true completion is. But, oh, how I strive for it.

For who would want to be incomplete?
