What do you think of when you think of the word INCONQUERABLE?
I think of our friend, Leslee Olsen's husband, Jared who just passed away on Friday due to brain cancer. Even when death was eminent, Jared's spirit never gave up. He never let cancer define who he was. He never became bitter at cancer or more importantly, at God for letting his life slip away from his dear wife and 4 sweet, young children. Jared never complained, he never used his cancer as a "crutch", and he always found humor in everything around him. He simply turned this devastating, terminal life challenge into something positive and beautiful to teach others what is important in life and that with God's help, anything is possible.
To me, that is someone who is INCONQUERABLE. I am in awe of not only how Jared handled his cancer, but how his family sought to find the blessings and silver linings along their journey. I would like to say that I have done that in my own journey, although not perfectly, but nevertheless, found the joy in the journey when times were tough and hope was lost.
We can all learn from Jared and his family. Their story always reminds me that God is indeed mindful of us, has a plan for us, and loves us more than we can comprehend.
