Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

Choices and Consequences

Every day we make choices and for each choice we make there is a consequence. When we make the correct choices we are blessed with good results. On occasion we must make choices/decisions of great magnitude.Tomorrow I must make such a decision. Tomorrow's decision is literally one of life and death.
I have spent many hours in study of alternative cancer treatments( see "Cancer Fighting Strategies" on the web and "Cancer Fighting Foods").
I have read books and articles about how our diet affects our potential for getting and fighting cancer.There are many articles that are pro- natural and many articles against going natural. It has all reduced me to tears at times as I become overwhelmed with all the information.The decision: Will this war that I am about to fight be unconventional/ natural or conventional/ chemotherapy. The natural ways are supposedly healing and restorative in nature, the chemo blasts the body with chemicals that are toxic in nature and are lethal. They are designed to kill.
Some scriptures are running through my head> "Cast thy burdens upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee:.." Psalms 55:22

"My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

For length of days,and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Proverbs 5:1-8
