I have started a prayer group! God told me that now was the time and I did it. I'm so happy and its amazing how many people it is bringing together. Just thinking about it I get a lump in my throat. I am learning so much about myself and my relationship with God and how over the past 5 weeks it has truly been tested. I have been in hospital on two occasions now with seizures from my brain cancer, even in the depths of my weakness as I was throwing up, I asked my Dad , "where's God" and he says, "right at the end of your bed". Such comforting words, and I totally new it. He NEVER leaves even when we don't feel Him, He is always right there and that is such a comforting thought.
So my title today is because I gave this song to my dear friend when she was first diagnosed with cancer & I felt it quite fitting considering what I am blogging about today. All I need is You. No matter what happens in my life, all I need is God to guide me and help me make good choices.
I have learned something else...Faith means feeling the fear and moving ahead into God's will anyway. This gives me great comfort because I wrestled with that for soooooo long. If I felt fear did that mean that I wasn't trusting God or walking in faith. Boy did I ever have that wrong.
I feel so empowered to deal with this 'cancer chapter' of my life now and I totally know where that empowerment is coming from. It is something so easily forgotten by not just me and not just by Christians that have been walking with God a long time, but by all of us. God has empowered us in His name and with this on our side, seriously people, how can we go wrong. I try to remain humble and remember my time in Mexico and at the same time feel led by God to start this prayer group as well as remain grounded in Him and empowered by Him all at the same time.
Pretty sure when I read the job description of a Christian it didn't say juggling a must:)
Thank you all for your ongoing support in all aspects of my life.
Today is a good day, cancer and all.

Mel here, I forgot to tell you in all my excitement. The prayer group is on facebook called Can I pray for you?
ReplyDeleteMelanie, thank you for the truth that God never leaves us and that He alone has the map of our lived and knows where He is leading us. This we can rest on.

Mel, I love your description of what faith is - feeling the fear and moving ahead into God's will anyway. You've got a great understanding on fear as well. Have I told you lately how proud I am of you :) Brenda
