Since I accepted the Lord at age 15 I have consistently asked God for three things in my life, based on Joshua 1:6-9. . .
Wisdom (implied)
Courage
Strength.

I’ve always known that if I had riches or talent without these things they would be worthless, and if I had these three I needn’t be concerned with anything else. Now, believe me, there was a LOT of turning to the right and left (v7) in my life! You have no way of knowing how much I turned from God or ignored Him. Even as a “devoted follower” it seems I could not consistently ‘stay awake’ while He prayed in the garden for me. But nonetheless, God has been faithful and ever patient and gracious to grant me my three requests.

On the day of admission to the hospital, my nurse walked into the consultation room wearing a necklace with three words inscribed:
Wisdom
Courage
Strength

I was stunned by this gentle reminder that God has been, is, and will always be faithful no matter what life or cancer throws my way. One day since my diagnosis of Leukemia and I am already on my way to getting treatment!
