I Come to the Garden...

This is a u-tube my son asked me to watch today. What do you think about it?

I also wanted to share with you that yesterday I went to school for 2 hours. I taught my daughters world view class and she taught my painting class because I can't use my right arm until the drain thing gets out. I had an awesome time with the older teens. I was there during lunch, and it's then when I usually give a 15 chat during lunch...character talks mostly, motivational. I used the quarter back, T Bold (not sure I spelled his name right) as an example...how he is a light on a hill, and how his decision to let God shine (not to hide his faith or light under a bushel) is positively effecting the whole world. And how we too can be a light by the way we love one another to the world around us, be at home, school, or with friends. The kids are so receptive, and I sensed as usual the presence of God. Afterwards, they gave me two beautiful books filled with handmade get well cards made by the kids. I felt so embraced by the Lord.

Because prayer was sent out to all our school families that I was having cancer surgery, everyone knew pretty much why I was absent last week. I am not comfortable talking with the kids about my cancer dx. But...they knew, and I felt it was important to let them know how I am doing. So, I thanked them for praying for my cancer surgery. I didn't use the word mastectomy because some of the kids are too young to understand. I said that it was an aggressive cancer found early and all of it was cut out. I said, they did a PET scanning the whole body, showing that I am now cancer free. The kids applauded. One little boy afterwards walked upto me and said, "I knew it. I prayed to God they would get it all out." The precious cards were filled with comments from young children that they prayed every night for me.

I am so glad I brought the whole cancer thing out in the open. It was neat to let them be a part of it all. I've also saw yesterday that my absense the school and interns are working hard to keep the spirit up and doing a A+ job. I am proud.

Meece, I am so happy to hear that your son is doing well. Our children doing well means more to me than my own health. I also see my son maturing. Good news!

I come to the garden today to pray. Can't get out to church because of infection in my lungs, have been on antibiotics for 5 days.

Please strengthen me , O Lord,  to be able to walk forward in this journey with grace and dignity. To not lose my way with You and to continue to move along in faith and trust that You will be beside me every moment, especially during my weakest times.  Amen

 macatacmv, I haven't been able to go to Church since Christmas day due to my mx. I have found comfort reading online audio Bible online reading. The website is http://www.audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html. Right now I'm reading in Psalms due to feeling down at times due to cabin fever...not able to do much to healing time. While reading Psalms I have open Word to put down thoughts about what I read and my own prayers. Afterwards I felt so encouraged. Today, I listen to several God U-tubes with great testimonies. So...for me that was my Church today.

I will pray for you that God will strengthen and heal you... ((((hugs))))  

I watched the video's...very touching and real. It is so good that we have hope that our time on earth is only a journey to a place where there will be no cancer, sickness or pain. Life is like a vapor in time. Soon enough we will be reunited with those who have gone before us and this life will be as a dream.

Our life and times are in God's hands.

Barb, I don't know if I would compare earth as hell. There are those who may feel as if they are in hell, but our world is also a good place. It's God's creation that man is messing up big time. Men blame God for their problems when He, God, meant something so much better for us.

Some ask, how can God allow evil or sickness in the world? God made man with a free choice. We are the ones who are adding poison to our food supply, pesticides, and etc that make us sick. God has a better plan for our lives, the problem is that most people don't want anything to do with God.

Janhart, emotional pain can be the worse. I'll be praying for you. (((hugs)))

1     ¶ Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2     After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3     Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea, 6:1-3

This is a passage that has comforted me. For our sake God sometimes allows the storms in our lives that we might seek and find Him. God is our great physican, be our wounded soul, or physical body He will bind up our broken bones, or wounds and bring healing to our hearts.

I have a choice today Trust God or drive myself crazy.

Please God help me let go of the wheel! 

Pray for me...after surgery, mx, I am cancer free. All the scans also show that I am cancer free. Then why the big guns for prevention? A little boy came to me and said He knew God would heal me...and 100's were praying the cancer didn't spread.

Do I believe God, and trust that I am cancer free...or do I do more? I am not sure. Do I just believe by faith that this is it or do I continue to travel down this road when I might not need to?
