NO Cancer!

Last week I underwent two test to scan my body for tumors/cancer and a blood test to check for cancer in my blood, to let the doctors know if there was any cancer in my body. Both tests came back negative – PTL! I want to first of all thank all of you for your prayers, they are what healed my mind and heart as well and asking God to use the medicine and radiation to destroy the cancer in my body. I have been asked since hearing about my cancer and starting my treatments way back in the first of May – was I scared? YES, I was definitely scared. Was I scared to die? NO! I wasn’t scared of death. I realize that my physical death on this earth has been transformed into my ordination into heaven. Death here on earth is simply my saying goodbye to my loved ones here to move to my new home in heaven, that has been prepared for me by Jesus Christ. What fear I did experience was because of the reality that I would hurt like I had never hurt before. The doctors promised me that they would hurt me far greater than I had ever been hurt from any sport or injury in that sport. I was scared when they told me I probably would come to a time when I wouldn’t be able to swallow anymore, eat food and possibly I would have to have a feeding tube. That all scared me. What scared me more was the possibility that I would lose precious time with my family. I lost my summer, I couldn’t go outside for more than just a few minutes, I didn’t have much strength during the day to do anything more that walk from the bedroom to the kitchen table. I was scared of what the unknows were about my cancer and about what the future would hold. But more than the fear was the assurance that GOD WAS WITH ME! I knew he was preparing me for something bigger than I could ever imagine or hope for. I knew he could heal me in a second or over many, many years, but I BELIEVED! I want you to know that God IS WITH YOU! No disease, no relationship problems, no debt, and no sin can take him away from you. You are his precious possession, and I don’t want you to buy the lies of Satan that God is made at you because of anything that you’ve done wrong or that has happened to you to suffer. God is our refuge and hope. Today pray that the Holy Spirit can come into your mind and overwhelm you with that fact and emotions that he has not, nor will he leave you. Merry Christmas. Also today read Ps. 103:1-3, my song of praise to God everyday of my life.
