Man, I'm kind of behind on this whole blogging thing. I should have started doing this like, day one.
But now that I figured my Macbook out a little bit, played with my new iPod touch, talked to a lot of people, eaten a lot of food, and digested a lot of scripture I think it's time to just get some of brain out here onto the web!
Could I get more hipster?
I posted a big chunk of the pre-cancer build-up story onto my Facebook but I wasn't getting any comments so i just figured it'd be cool to add some flare, via Blogger. =]
Onto something serious though.
This has been so easy because of everyone around me.
When I approached this monster I was horrified, I thought God would shove this mountain out of MY WAY. Unless I'm reading God wrong, He's telling me I get to walk through it, around the curves, dodge the falling snow, try not to freeze; I'm confident He's walking next to me as I fight this "huge" cancerous peak in my life. I came to the "conclusion" I was running into this fight, with God, my sword, and the defense God had given me. All my friends, family, every person praying, every thing going for me right now, it was all standing behind me supporting ME. As if I, Jeffrey was the one chosen to fight this heroic fight and everyone was called to help ME. With a little, or a lot of help from my friends I was shown Romans 12 and researched some of the spiritual gifting. I found the gift of exhortation to be one of the ones that fit me best, maybe I'm still wrong I always kind thought it was the big one, like prophecy or the big hardcore ones ya know? I'm getting distracted right now so this will conclude my slightly ADD post but, I believe my ADD is normal, and hopefully readers will understand too, sometimes I just want to write and now it's all here for you all to read. =]
I'm still figuring this out, but today's interesting "struggle" is that I'm starting to think I'm not really even the one fighting this battle, it's easy for me, this is every single one of you fighting this thing, I'm just the face. Basically, I'm here to encourage you, to use your gift in whatever way possible, I am here to excite what God has given you to use, so Glorify God with what you have, and if that means come bring a prophetic word to me, so be it.
Time to go do what babies do. =] EAT MORE FOOD!

Jeffrey, I look forward to reading your blog. You put a face on courage and there almost isn't a single breathing person who isn't battling something. All part of living in a fallen world. Arm in arm with each other and God we are all so much stronger. I do see the gift of exhortation in you and how God is using this battle in your life to hone and refine it. Standing with you; always praying.
