by Justin IzlarDealing with cancer is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had to do. Just hearing the news about it was shocking like ‘wow, can this be true?’ I couldn’t believe I had to deal with something that I thought older people get. Something where your suppose to just sit back, relax, and see other people with. Something where you go visit people in the hospital to show them that you’re there and then you go back to live your own life, in your own home, without a care not once, not twice, but three times I had to deal with this.
Wasn’t sure if I would survive, so sometimes wanted nothing more than a kiss. Just something simple to say, "I love you", you’re not going through this alone
And just hold out a little while longer and you’ll be on your way home. I’ll be honest; the first time I cried hard, cause it was devastatin’ I cried eight times just on the way home, sometimes thinking I did something that God was hatin’
Second time I got very mad, cause now it was just frustratin’
Why I gotta suffer when I tried to do right, but there’s others outside right now crap playin’?
During all of this, I began to have a reality check. I wasn’t being punished, but the devil knew God had a plan that hasn’t happened yet, so the third time it got a little funny, and I just laughed a little bit at Satan telling him that I’mma do Gods work regardless man, you need to stop hatin’
You might as well keep it moving, because I know that I’m gonna be fine. I aint leaving this world no time soon, at least not until I know Gods will and mine are aligned. You need to go find new business, cause messing with me is just asking for trouble. All you are doing is wasting your time. I’m not about to complete your little puzzle.
I beat you up the first time, and I beat you bad the second. You would think that somebody would finally learn his lesson, but it’s obvious, since you’re still coming, that you’re not that clever. This time, I’m going for the knock out, cause I’m stronger than ever. If it’s a war with me that you really want to be in, we can go head to head. Because I know that as long as God is on my side, all of my enemies are already dead.
He himself bore my sins in his body on the tree, so that I might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds I have been healed. ~1 Peter 2:24
The Lord forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. ~Psalm 103:3

You are strong, my brother. Stay that away. God is good, regardless.
God bless you! I will be praying for you. This will be your testimony.
My dude, I've been praying for you for a long time. I've been thanking God for keeping you. Hold on. You're a strong man of God.
By His stripes we are healed, and not all sickness is unto death!! We do love you and it will be ok! It already is! I know your pain. The docs diagnosed me with MS on my brothers birthday 3.6.06. I cried too. I took the stairs from the doc office just so I wouldn't run into anyone on the elevator, so no one would see my tears. But I realized that God is the master physician, and my Faith will get me through! One thing I touched on in my blog about MS was that being diagnosed was the best thing that ever happened to me. god won't allow more than you can bare..so know you can bare this! you are strong and there is a reason He allowed it. We are both healed. I've already claimed it and I hope you have too. Stay encouraged and keep in touch...we need fellowship to help eachother through tuff times. We are overcome by our testimonies, they are not for us but for someone else! Read my blog about my MS!

Check this song out called "Healer." It was written by a man the day he was diagnosed with cancer. I pray it encourages you as it has encouraged me. Be blessed.

Hello Justin, I hope this reaches you. My husband has a friend who has cancer. The last year has been the hardest for him and his family with the illness and not being able to work. My hubby talks with him all the time, trying to help keep him lifted and even taking up donations at work to support him and his family. He just received chemo and the docs are saying it didn't work and that they see more lymph notes than before. He is in his early 30's and was sooo let down by the latest news that he is lossing faith and hope. Is there anyway you can send words of encouragement? I hope it's not asking too much but maybe exchange emails? He needs someone that can relate to him.
Can someone please pass this along to Justin.
Thanks
Rest in Peace Justin, we will all miss you. Rest Baby Rest.
R.I.P bro...you will truly be missed...ow swEEt
Rip Justin......ill pray for your family
