O Lord, You have heard the desire and the longing of the humble and oppressed; You will prepare and strengthen and direct their hearts.

Psalm 10:17

If your feelings get hurt because someone looks at you crossways or because friends or family forget your birthday, you need to spend more time with God. He will fill you with so much love and such a sense of self-worth that you won't feel ill-tempered or touchy toward anyone. Seek god with your whole heart today. Talk to Him about your problems and then enjoy yourself, knowing that He cares for you.

If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

I will say of the Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91:2

I was dx on Sept 12, and I can truly feel God working in my life. My husband and I teach a SS class of 5th and 6th graders. We have, what I feel, is the best most awesome church family anywhere. They have crowded around me and lifted me and my family up in prayers and I can feel them working. I go to the dr tomorrow for my 1 week post op for my left mast. I know God is listening and responding to all of our prayers.

I have two teenage sons, one is 18 and the other almost 16. they both work at Chick-fil-A, which is a very Christian organization. I came home after my surgery and the younger one wanted to goeat at Chick-fil-A. The older one said he would take him, but they would go through the drive through. The younger one wanted to go in and socialize. They were going back and forth, not arguing just yes no type of thing. I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer, thanking God for getting me through the surgery but could He possibly deal with the boys because I couldn't. I opened my eyes and told my youngest that I would go see if his dad would take him. By the time I got outside, my oldest son came out and said that it was their manager from work on the phone asking what he could bring us to eat. Talk about God answering a prayer quickly. It was only a matter of about two minutes at the most. So, I know that if God can answer a prayer that is that tiny (in my eyes) then I know that He is going to get me through this ordeal with bc. Just wanted to share that with you all. Love, Bonny

Bonny what a nice story. Thanks for sharing that. I have to ask. Where is Alcoa Tennessee. I have relatives in Dover. Another friend lives close to Chattanooga.

Good luck at the doctors tomorrow

The Bible teaches that Satan tries to build strongholds in our lives. One way to identify the strongholds in your life is to watch for repetitive situations that pull you down in spirit. We all know inside when something is not right in our life or is getting out of control. If that happens to you, seek God early to find out what is going on.

Something for me to chew on. thought I would share.

bonny1963

Thanks, I received good news. My dr said there were clear margins. It was stage 2. I am not sure what kind I have or had since she got it all. Do I still say I have BC even though I don't have the breast it was in? I don't know. Alcoa is about 15 minutes south of Knoxville. It is the home of ALCOA Aluminum company. Gid was with me today and he is still with me and will be with me through my chemo and radiation. Hugs, Bonny

Why God Made Friends



God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.

He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.

God made friends so we'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

Dear Lord, please Bless this House. debbyfive

This is such a wonderful site. I have only been on here for a few weeks but I already feel like I am among friends and family. I pray that God will take this awful disease away from each and every one of us that has it. I KNow God is with me every step of the way and I thank Him daily for all the wonderful things in my life. My boys (age 18 and almost 16) were in a car accident on Friday morning and the car was totaled. My oldest rear-ended another car. I wasn't upset about the car. I thanked God that they weren't hurt. Just shook up. I am trying to find the good in everything that God has sent my way and I have to admit it is hard. But several people have told me that they have had their mammos and one friend is getting a lump checked. She said she probably wouldn't have had it not been for my bc. So I am thanking God for everything. He will get us through it. Thank you God for my salvation and my family and my friends. I owe it all to YOU! Bonny

Special prayers for your and your sons Bonny. It is wonderful that you are able to keep your focus on God's love. He will get us through. You are so right.

I found this on the web. It's from a 13 year old girl. she's pretty smart, huh?


Prayer
by Colleen Castle, age 13

Prayer is a constant conversation with God. Anytime you want to talk to God, during the day or at night, He is there to listen to you.

One time, a little while back, I was not balancing my prayers and not praying regularly. I found that I was only asking God for things in my prayers and not praising or thanking Him as well. For example, I would ask God to keep everyone I knew safe that day, to heal someone, or even the classic "please help me do well on my math test." I prayed usually only at meals, as most people do, at our family devotions every morning, but rarely anytime else. When I did pray, it seemed harder to concentrate on God and I thought about other things. Sometimes it would seem to me like God wasn't even listening to my prayer. Finally, through people like camp counselors, Sunday school teachers, and youth pastors and volunteers, I realized what not praying right was doing to my relationship with Jesus .

I started balancing my prayers and used a technique called ACTS. ACTS stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. These should be the four parts of any prayer. Adoration means praising God, confession is confessing your sins, thanksgiving is thanking God for what He has done for you, and supplication is asking God for things. Thanksgiving is one of the points I am trying to emphasize in my own devotions and at other times, along with praise. I make sure I thank God for giving me each day and for answering my prayers from the last day. Then I would confess my sins, and praise Him. At the very end of my prayer I would ask him for things. But by the time I reached that component, only the important requests I had were asked and the rest I realized were unnecessary.

This is the way I pray, and have found that it has helped me grow in my relationship with Jesus. Prayer is very important in my everyday life because it is one of the ways I can communicate with God.

Hi girls,
It's been way too long. I'm just incredibly busy with kids, band, soccer, and now hockey, school projects, and church activities. That's a good thing, right?

I just want to thank you for your posts. This was the first thread I came to today, and God has a way of encouraging me through your words. Debby & Susan, thank you for your faithfulness to keep this thread going. Thank you for being "vessels of honor" through which God can pour out his blessings!

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Ephesians 3:20-21

With love,
Wendy
