We will win. That’s been a theme for me.
WE (not I). Teams win together. Life is better together. A cord of three strands is not easily broken. I’m not going to conquer cancer and say, “I did it.” But rather WE DID IT.
Today is day 1 of 22 days of radiation therapy. It’s game on. By God’s grace, we will win. One person who will be part of the victory is John Mark Hamilton.
John Mark is a recruiter for the UNC football team, a member of Grace Church and great friend. This fall each player and coach dedicated the game against Duke to someone fighting cancer. John Mark graciously chose me. UNC beat their rival, and I received a very special football (see photo below).
This football sits on my desk at home. Every day it is a reminder that WE WILL WIN. It’s been such an encouragement to my soul. Thanks, John Mark. Today is day 1. Game on… WE WILL WIN.
