Mark W. Holt's Journey

Email from Mark 5 Years after diagnosis

Greetings friends & family,
I realized I haven't written an 'update-email' in
quite some time, and I figured today was the perfect
day to do it.
It was 5 years ago, today, that I was diagnosed with
my disease. So, I guess I can now officially call
myself a 5 year, cancer survivor...hehe. I also would
like to thank you all for your support, love and
prayers during these past years. It has been an
amazing journey, and one i am proud to still be 'in
the middle of'.
By the grace of God I do not worry about my situation
anymore. Yes I still have areas of tumors that are
slowly growing, and yes I am 'in between treatments',
and yes I still have certain days where it takes a
little bit of time to "defeat worry", and yes the
fight is still going on....but most
importantly.....yes, Jesus is still taking very good
care of me. I love my life, and I love the knowledge
and strength he provides me with, everyday. I don't
want anyone to be sad that I still am dealing with
this, for it is second nature to me. I am honored
that he chose me to fight this, even though in the
beginning, i thought he was crazy, and didn't think i
was "built for the part"......HE has never let me
down, and I wouldn't trade anything for the
relationship Metra and I share with HIM. So, sorry i
don't have any 'medical' or 'drug' talk to share with
you, but that stuff bores me to death, and it is
IRRELEVANT in my heart. I am also not here to offend
anyone....but i can only explain the reality and truth
that is happening in my life and in my particular
situation. I just feel great joy to share it with as
many people as possible. Thank you for listening, and
the beautiful thing is....I am no better than anyone
on this earth.....His love is infinite and it is for
EVERYONE. ALL ARE WELCOME and don't let anyone ever
tell you differently.
I love all of you....
Mark Holt
