In our case, it was breast cancer. I have had the typical treatments to deal with it, but the most effective medicine in dealing with cancer has without a doubt been choosing joy. Some of the most unlikely "favorite days" of this journey:
* Choosing joy on double mastectomy day, complete with hilarious FB posts of all our "thumbs up" friends.
* Choosing joy on chemo days by dressing up like we were on the way to a party.
* Choosing joy as my hair fell out, refusing to let temporary baldness confine us to home.
In choosing joy, and in choosing to cling to God as our source, He has given us such supernatural strength. This has truly been a peaceful, joy-filled journey.
Choosing JOY doesn't just apply to cancer. Joy is such a powerful weapon to fight the lies of satan, no matter what we are facing, whether huge, or smaller but intensely frustrating. I have seen people freaking out at restaurants just because the waiter forgets to bring bread out! That's sad! And it's not what's best. Joy is by far the better option.
