john piper. a smart wise man wrote this incredible piece on the eve of his prostate surgery for cancer. read it here. it literally transformed my entire journey through cancer.
...

my questions. for myself and for you.

what if we did not waste anything?
what everything about our life was an opportunity to glorify the Lord? with all of it. the ugly. the embarrassing. the painful. the joy. the questions. the grief. the love. the grace.
 what if we didn't live as bitter and angry?
what if it is all a gift. every little thing.
i believe my life is not my own. i am not in charge. the Lord is.

this blog will talk about everything. the little things and the big things.
