Not EOL; Day755
July 27, 2012 Leave a comment
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2Corinthians 5:8
Verses like this one today put courage and excitement to my dilemma of being a cardiac patient. It’s been 755 days since my stent#2 and I’m still waiting and expecting that the #3 will come and/or there will be no more #3 and my life will come to an end. Any day now…. and that is how I live my life. Everyday I wake up with the intention of living a full day as if this is the last one. Yes, I can bike 40 miles and swim 2.4 miles without any struggle but the risk of my stent#3 will always be there in the corner of my eyes. With this journal, I can honestly tell you that I am not afraid to be absent from this body because I know that when the time comes, it is not the end of life. “There is more…” is the promise. There is that expectation of how I will be going to enjoy the presence of god forever when I leave this earth. How exciting!
