My family and friends....hope you all are doing well. There is no easy way to say it except to say it. Recently, I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma- breast cancer in the left breast, stage III. I know!!! Sorry to shock you like this…..and what is even more surprising is that I, a strong advocate for the health message is facing this. I can hardly believe this is happening to me. But it is. However, that is only part of the story. Come back with me a few years to understand that through all of this God is doing a marvelous work in me. As we journey back through my past experiences and move forward in the future, let me share with you what God has been doing. What He has done for me He surely wants to do for YOU.

One thing is clear, He wants me to share my story so others may know how much He wants to set the captives free and give us life abundantly. "Our confession of His faithfulness is heaven's chosen agency for revealing Christ to the world. That which will be most effectual is the testimony of our own experience. We are witnesses for God as we reveal in ourselves the working of a power that is divine. Every individual has a life distinct from all others, and an experience differing essentially from theirs. God desires that our praise shall ascend to Him, marked by our individuality. These precious acknowledgements to the praise of the glory of His grace, when supported by a Christ-like life have an irresistible power that works for the salvation of souls." Desire of Ages, pg. 347

Like the people of Israel as they were taken out of Egypt into the desert, let us set up our stones of witness- our testimony- and inscribe upon them the precious story of what God has done in us and through us. I’m telling everyone please do not shed a tear for me, but to start singing my victory song!!! God is in Word has surely said that He “heals all your diseases“ Psalm 103:3; “ I am the Lord who heals you” Exodus 15: 26.  

 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” John 10:10.

My prayer: Dear God, I praise your name in the good times and in the bad. Blessed are You, Oh Lord whose ways are perfect, who order my days, and who give me the strength to overcome each trial through Your strength. For you will never give me more than I can bear, but will with every trial provide a way for me to endure. You have done it for me in the past and surely You will do it again. So I thank You in advance and in faith for what You are doing in me and through me.

In the beautiful name of Jesus. Amen.

And so here goes......my story. Come and see what the Lord has done.

Continued tomorrow………
