Manning Up

<p>For me manning up means looking up to my heavenly Father. I needed supreme help. There was no way I could handle all of this on my own. Bucking up when you twist an ankle is one thing but facing cancer is altogether different. It was and is a life-altering proclamation. I have always recognized and acknowledged the seriousness of cancer as it pertained to others but I never grasped or felt the gravity of it until now. You can't until you've personally experienced it. Initially it shakes you to the core. Nevertheless when I immediately looked up and reached up a bit of peace entered into me. He gave me instant strength that enabled me to man up on the spot.</p>
