Spent time with a 9 year old with cancer today and learned a huge lesson.

I know that it sounds like a cliche, but God whispered into my soul today, "Brad. It's not how many days you have in life, but how much life you have in your days."

I learned that lesson from Malia, a 9 year old who was diagnosed with cancer a year ago this day (October 20th). Unfortunately, her prognosis is not good. The doctor's give Malia just months to live. But don't tell Malia that! She tired me out within minutes of my arrival. Her parents, who attend our church, our truly amazing. Their faith, unshaken. We are learning to love and live. It's the best lesson to be captured.
