The title of this blog comes from song lyrics that I heard many years ago by Switchfoot. And ever since the first time I heard it, these words have never left me. It makes so much sense. Although you might be standing in a shadow, that is direct evidence that the sun is still shining. I think that this is a great metaphor for my life right now. I am walking through some dark times. But I want these times to be evidence of the sun, and the bright glory of the Lord. And so while this blog will be chronicling some sad times in my life, I pray that it is also a testament to God, and a reminder of the good times in the midst of the shadows.

"I have said these things that in Me you may have peace. In this world, you will have troubles. But take heart, I have overcome the world!" John 16:33

Five months!


Today is five months since my surgery! It is really incredible for me to think about how far I have come in the past five months. Five months ago, I was at a low point. Other than the day of my diagnosis, I feel like surgery was really the start of my battle with cancer. It came when I was the most sick, and left me more sick than I had ever been for months afterwards. It has not been that long and yet it feels like an eternity since that day.
But now I am back at school, practically a normal girl again. It is so encouraging to me to see how far I have come in such a short time. My scar serves as a constant reminder of how far I have come, so that I won’t ever be able to forget. (And so even though I am not thrilled at having an enormous scar across my entire midsection, in some ways it is good.)
So much can happen in such a short time, and it is crazy to think where I will be in the five more months…
