God's faithfulness

Today I am celebrating 5 months of radiant health since I was diagnosed with cancer on August 29th and adopting a plant based diet on August 30th. As I look back on this journey I see God's faithfulness every step of the way. There are so many emotional, physical and spiritual victories I have had on this faith journey. Without God's grace none of them would be possible. He has comforted me and sustained me through every medical procedure and surgery, he's directed me to resources about nutrition and he's surrounded me with people who have prayed for me and encouraged me every step of the way. He's given me the strength to eat over 200 salads, swig down 900 glasses of carrot juice (no wonder I am turning orange!), swallow 9,750 supplements and keep teaching and loving my students. He's taught me how to trust Him with every fiber of my being and to rest in Him. He's given me the determination to allow old habits to die and to put new ones in place. He's given me a family that has patiently tried new recipes I make and who have helped juice all those carrots. He's provided me with a husband who has brought laughter to my life and helped me find joy in it all. He's surrounded me with friends who have listened to the Holy Spirit and obeyed when he's prompted them to call me, send a card or scripture verse, offer to help juice carrots or fix and repair things at our home. I have been enveloped with love every minute of every hour of these past 150 days. Words can not begin to express my gratitude to God and any of you that have walked with me along this journey. May God get all the glory for any good that has come and will come as I continue to face this giant knowing God has given me the victory.
