This morning was beautiful quiet, reflective and prayerful. I woke up early this morning per usual and my wife Janet was up and about taking care of our four legged family members and then she was off for errands. I layed in bed looking out of the skylights and was doing my personal inventory. As I have written time and time again. Their are so many different layers to each life experience that we have. I think we have large general thoughts of things that happen in our lives of acceptance , we then live beyond that descriptive moment and find the depth of the meaning of the life change and its actual effect on my mind set and where I am at. Well for the last 4 years I have been feeling pretty useless and have been trying to figure out what God wants for me to do so I took my baby steps with my blog and outreach to other cancer patients I found the layers of working with other cancer patients. My personality is based out of compassion and connection and I bond with people so easily. As a result I have been effected in my emotions and psyche as my friends has progressed in their illnesses or left this world. Love is the most powerful bond and emotion that there and I get to loving people pretty quickly.
So, this morning I layed in bed and I was thinking about my act 2 as I have called it and where I think God wants me to be to serve his needs. And, honestly to be able to contribute to my familiesfinancial needs. Well, this week I moved a little more in the direction of getting my feet onto the path towards tomorrow. Last night I just laid in bed looked at the stars as I thought wow, I am so excited and yet I am a little intimidated by the un known. For the 1st time since Glio, I will be potentially be stepping out to speak publically to a group of individuals to help motivate and show them that Gods got our situations . I have not traveled by myself since my Cancer and left sided situation began. I rely on my wife for so much. never Being now a handicapped version of myself will pose my first challenge. So, my decision to push on towards my future is bringing on yet a real life reality that I need to face and conquer overcome. God will make it happen and I need to accept with a grateful heart what the Lord has in store for me. Life is full of challenges for each one of us but we cannot back away. It means simply stepping out of our boat and comfort zone into the water and trusting that we are steadied and protected by Jesus Christ. I for one believe.
change is good and it’s only through adversity that I will find my higher calling and best personal self so here we go I guess!! Lol
please keep in your prayers as I pray for your needs Amen
God Bless you all Danny
at church today, I found out that another one of my friends went to the Lord this week. He was a wonderful and holy man in his 50’s also. Please pray for Teddy A and his lovely family.
also, please continue to pray and send your love and support for my friend Leslie who is currently in home hospice with her husband Tim and their daughter by their side. Thankyou
So, I will wait in the hope of Christ to see what happens and will manage if and when the time comes. I will tell you one thing if I am called I will show up no matter what.
Danny, thank you so much for sharing those powerful words of encouragements not only for me but for so many others who God has given a gift and wants us to step out in Faith and just Trust Him!!! You will do a wonderful job, just go and speak and continue to share your story. I met your daughter at EG while she was in school and I was bless to have her use her gifts of her hands and heart by giving me a facial. May God continue to keep you and your family in JESUS NAME!!!

Dan, praying for you. Blessings and Grace be with you as you step out to proclaim God’s Love to all…if indeed you feel you are called to do this. Remember to ask a few of your Catholic/Christian Brethren if they feel that the Holy Spirit is really calling you to do this, or if it is you calling yourself. As you say and believe, if the LORD wants you to speak publicly, it will happen. God bless you Dan and your constant endeavor to serve Christ on Earth. Love, Diane >
