Telling Of His Wonderful Works!

One year ago today I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. The journey has been one of tears, heartache, researching, praying, faith and trust. Now here I am in remission thanking God for His faithfulness and for all of you who have stood with me on this long journey. I have faced the giant of cancer with a God saturated soul because I know my Father loves me and I trust that love. My rejoicing Psalm is 107:22-31 which says:
Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
Others went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.
They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep.
For he spoke and stirred up the tempest that lifted high the waves.
They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
in their peril their courage melted away.
They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits end.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.

I have seen God's work as He has taken me into deep waters. The mighty waves have crashed in around me and at times my courage has melted away. But each day I have cried out to God in my distress and He has been faithful to give me the strength to face the day. He has stilled my storm to a whisper and is guiding me to my desired haven. I am giving thanks to Him for his unfailing love and for His wonderful deeds for me. I have been given a gift of excellent health, my marriage is stronger, my priorities are in focus, ministry is joyfully abundant, I walk in the understanding that each day is a gift to be treasured and my faith has grown deeper as I have had to face a giant, that without God. I could not conquer.

I encourage all of you to stay the course and focus on God as you face the storms your giant brings. God has not forgotten you. He is taking you to the deep waters so you will learn to depend completely on Him. He will not let you be destroyed in the storm. When He is finished with the work He is trying to do in your life, He will whisper to the storm, "Peace, Be Still". When He brings you safely to shore you will never stop proclaiming the good deeds He has done! Your life will be a vessel now fit for use.

For my friends Beth and Rhonda who are now facing their own giant of breast cancer, know that I am praying for you! My heart is with you as you face this giant who is NOT BIGGER THAN OUR GOD! I pray you will continue to face it with God saturated souls! My love and hugs to you both! I hope my journey of faith has been of encouragement to you. Keep up the good fight!
