Warrior

One of the “Landmarks” at St.Jude is the ABC wall, The ABC’s of cancer. Every letter has a different word, different handwriting, and different perspectives.

I see this wall at least once a day and some days several times a day. But for some reason today “W” stood out to me.

We are chemo Warriors

We are chemo Warriors bearing arms with pride

We don’t care about losing our hair

We solider on and fight through it

We can’t deny that sometimes we cry

But We are God’s Warriors!

That is what is written on the W sign.

God gives these kids so much strength, it also got me thinking about the armor of God.

“Therefore put on the full armor of God…” Ephesians 6:13-18

In Summary there are 6 pieces of Armor

Belt of truth, Breastplate of righteousness, Shoes of preparation, Shield of faith, Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the spirit.

This set of armor helps us all in our spiritual walks of faith, helps us be Warriors for God.

However it doesn’t protect these kids or anyone for that matter from illness and emotions.

And still these kids fight a fight we can’t even think of fighting, yet they still feel they are doing exactly what God has planned for them, and they fight off the devil EVERYDAY!
