Look for Blessings By Bob Paulson

Look for Blessings By Bob Paulson Last August, a breast cancer diagnosis brought Anne Graham Lotz’s busy schedule to a screeching halt. Instead of her usual agenda of traveling and speaking, she underwent surgery, seven brutal chemotherapy infusions and a month of daily radiation treatments. But she soon learned that God had a purpose and a number of blessings for her in the midst of the struggle. “My heart’s aim all my adult life has been to be where God wanted me to be. I’m pursuing Him, not ministry, and I want to be where He is. So, if He puts me here, I’m just happy to be here. If He puts me back on the road, I’m happy to be back on the road. If He never puts me back on the road, I’m happy with that, too. Right now, I have absolute confidence this is where He wants me to be. Anne has some suggestions for others undergoing difficulty. “Start your day with prayer and Bible reading. And then look for the blessings. Don’t look for the disappointments. Don’t look for the things that you can’t do. ... I wrote a list of about two dozen things that cancer can do. It increases your joy. It develops your friendships. It develops your prayer life. We just need to look for the blessings.”
