The words that were placed at the top of my clean white paper as I start work today.
Let me start by saying that today is a day of celebration!!!!Today 2007, I was released from hospital after having my brain surgery to de-bulk my cancer. Today is an emotional day for me. In 2007, it was Easter weekend when they found my tumour and now 4 yrs later I embrace it all, thru the grace of God. Last night I was feeling a bit down because I have been having bouts of vertigo (which are actually a different type of seizure), anyways it had me questioning my entire missions trip and I spoke with my deacon and I asked, "if you do something because that's what you think God is telling you to do; if you're wrong will he still honour that because you're doing it in His name?" Well I was very happy with the answer for 2 reasons, 1. she reaffirmed that I should be going to Mexico and 2. she said that God wouldn't leave you just because he thought you made a decision without Him. When I got home I opened my Bible app on my IPhone and it opened to Mark 12:22-25, it's Jesus telling us to have faith in God. Just what I needed to hear. I lean on God on many levels but I still sometimes need to be reminded that I am not alone and that He is with me regardless of my circumstance and that is like a security blanket for me.
I think we all forget, actually , I'll say we all forget sometimes that He is right beside us!
This morning as I sat listening to my favourite EVER song 'Beautiful Beautiful' by Francesca Batistelli, I had an image of sitting at the feet of Jesus with my hands at His feet singing this song.
Today is a day of celebration because He has made me beautiful---cancer and all.
What difficulties in your life are you going thru that you can thank God for?
Remember this? "No surprises here because you already know ............ you are going to have a tough time in the early part of the year. What you don’t know however is that you will work through it extremely well. So well in fact that you will have to think seriously when you realise that other “doors” are opening for you". Stay tuned!
