Lately I have been grappling with fears. How to start over, will I have my body strong and functional again enough so I can go hiking, learn to surf, dance, parent, love, travel. I know when I tangle up with fear. And I am getting wise enough to know, if you just move forward, fear will pass. Momentum is the antidote to fear. Because my conviction and spirit have proven stronger with time and practice, overcoming fear is easier. I was beginning to panic about what the next chapter in my life might look like.
I heard this song. I have heard it a million times in the background of grocery stores but never paid attention. Until this week. I "heard" it. It fit so perfectly. I have been tangled up with my fears of losing my strong young body to a diseased aged less functional body. And I realized, it was all just that fears. I can handle my body and live the life I desire....I will find my way. Others before me have. I can ride the coattails of those cancer survivors before me, and use their momentum to not get stuck.
This song below fits this insights so well....
Tomorrows page is blank. I don't want to fill it up with, "She sat with fear, and fear made her sit still, so she sat with fear, and fear made her sit still....."
So, once again, cancer, I say to you, na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaaaaa-na, I win.
Now go dance it out:
Jenna
P.S. If the fluid and somewhat disorganized nature of this post bothers you, I get to blame it on the meds they give me at night. Make me kind of "flighty". So have fun, even if it doesn't make sense, just enjoy the song and dance!

Hey there,
I have been doing a mini seminar by Beth Moore: A Beautiful Mind:
A verse it is based on : I Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!"
The verse before it talks of stirring up the gift God gives you. So keep dancing and stirring Jenna....you have a beautiful spirit that brightened my life the day you were born, you have many more lives to brighten(most of all Kara) to brighten.
Love from the heart, and praying for a wonderful day today for you.
Blessings,
Mom
