It's hard for me to find a person to admire for the right reasons. There are music stars, actors, business persons, etc., who are admired for their talents.
More importantly, there are everyday people who make great strides by doing good things and ask for nothing in return. And then, there are those who are going through their own personal trials, who keep their faith, never give up and do it all with a smile on their face. The ones who do good and those who are strong during personal trials are the ones I admire.
When I think of someone I admire a girl I knew in high school comes to my mind. She is Rhonda Lemley Poe, who is facing her second battle with cancer. Yet when she posts pictures of herself taking treatments, she has a big smile on her face, and she always looks to her faith in God to get her through. I've watched her ongoing battle and admire her for her attitude and faith. I don't know I'd do as well.
Today she made a post that would seem negative to some. Rhonda was mad and stated how much she hates cancer. My heart ached for her because she's in a tough situation and I don't know what to say to help her. But when I read her post a second time I didn't see negativity, instead, I saw a strong lady who is still fighting. I'm hoping the anger she has toward cancer will keep her steadfast and battle strong.
Rhonda, I want you to know that I pray for blessings on you and your family everyday and pray that you will soon be cancer free. I'm not giving up on you, and I don't want you to give up on yourself. Pray hard, feel the love of your family and friends and keep your head high, pointing toward the God who has seen you through to this point.
As a side note: You are really rocking that short spikey hair.
You go girl and God bless.
