Jehovah Nissi

You are the Lord our Banner, Jehovah Nissi.  You give us victory against the flesh, the world and the devil.  Our sins are done! Our victory was won on the cross.  Out battles are Your battles.  We have only to be still and believe that the battle is already won!


What a reassurance that is.  Just imagine the life you can live when you live it for Christ.  He has taken care of everything.  Jesus did it all!

Peace that surpasses all human understanding is ours.  We do not have to count on ourselves to take care of battles, whether they are battles again the flesh or battles against the dark forces of evil.  Christ did it all!

The battles are won as Christ walks before us clearing our paths of obstacles.  He did it all!

He died on the cross so that you, me, all His children could be free from the stronghold that sin had over us.  He sacrificed His life so we can live!  Father God did it all!

I strive daily to live a life pleasing to my Father so His sacrifice on my behalf was not done in vain.  Father, Son and the Holy Spirit did it all! 

Storms With Rainbows

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE SKY, WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THE SUN WOULDN'T SHINE ANYMORE, GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE SKY

My last post was one of a woman that was in awe of the miracles of my Lord and Savior.  This post is from a woman who is STILL in awe of my Lord and Savior.

The Pathologist as well as the Surgeon felt sure there was cancer in the mass, so he continued to dissect the one lymp node as well as the growth removed from my husband and he FOUND the cancer.  Naturally, when the Surgeon talked with us on Monday I can honestly say that "shock" came no where close to describing how we felt.  I could not wrap my mind around what I was hearing.  I called a dear sweet friend and let her pray me through it.  She talked with me until I could get calmed down and start to look at things objectively.

There was so many blessings in this Rainbow that God put in the middle of my storm.  THEY found this cancer before my husband was sent home from the hospital, had they not found it; I shutter to think of what might have happened in the coming months. 

Surgery for the 2nd time was performed on Tuesday.  They took out 12" more of the colon and all the lymp nodes.  Final reports on Friday revealed that 3 of 38 lymp nodes had cancer and the growth had cancer in it as well.  There is no cancer in the liver nor in the lungs and with the surgery, the cancer is no longer in the colon.  However, he will have to take Chemo to raise his chances of the cancer not re-occuring in the colon from 50% to 80%. 

At the end of the Chemotherapy treatments (6 months) then the Seeds of Radiation will be implanted into the prostate. 

God is so good, all the time He is so good.  He put us in a place at this time in our lives where there are wonderful Doctors, Nurses, Hospital and Cancer Treatment Centers.  How blessed we are.







Sweet Spirit

God's sweet, sweet Spirit was with us today when the doctor confirmed what we already knew deep in our hearts.  My sweet George has prostate cancer.

I would have told you a few years ago that if a doctor told me, that me, my husband, or one of my children or grandchildren had cancer that I would have collapsed, cried, thrown up, screamed....that list goes on and on.  You see, that was before.  Before I really studied God's love letter to me, before I put my complete faith and trust in Him. 

God said that He would give me a peace that transcends any human understanding.  He gave me that peace and it is a peace that does surpass human understanding.  The doctor could testify to that, as could many of our family members and friends.  People are having a hard time understanding how we are being so calm about a diagnosis of cancer.  Our God and His love for us is so much greater than cancer cells. 

God's word tells us,  all the things that He can and will do for us.  All that He ask us to do is believe, such a simple little word...believe.  It really takes no effort, just trust and faith.  I have both and I BELIEVE! 

There are no words to describe the peace that my sweet George and I feel tonight.  This won't necessarily be a easy battle, however, God did promise to fight the battle for us.   If we just BELIEVE in Him, then He will do the rest.  AND I BELIEVE.

Yes, that sweet, sweet Spirit of God has not left us.  He said that He would be with us now and always....and my friend, I BELIEVE HIM.

There is blessings to be found with every storm in our lives.  I can already see blessings as my faith, trust and love for God gets stronger and stronger.  My husband and I have always had such a very, very close relationship.  I would have said earlier that there was no way we could get any stronger in our love for each other, however, this has drawn us even closer than before. 

I love living my life with God's Spirit with me, there is no peace like His peace and I love it!!

Moving Mountains

I have read and studied the Bible for quite a number of years, however, I  recently had one of those "aha" moments when a light went off in my head.  YES, I GET IT!! 

In the Bible, God tells us that if we had faith that was strong enough that we could command a mountain to move and it WOULD MOVE......I have faith, I have strong faith but I just never saw a need to move a mountain, after all, where would I tell it to go?? 

I FINALLY got the point He was making, it is not a literal mountain that our faith could move, but, the mountains in our lives.  Just like the mountain that George and I found ourselves standing in front of lately.  That huge mountain of FEAR....guess what???  Our faith in our Lord and Savior along with our prayers and the many, many prayers of friends and family has literally moved that mountain from our lives.  Instead, in front of us now is a peaceful, green valley filled with wild flowers, birds, butterflies and a gentle clean stream.  We met God in that valley and He held us in His hands and gave us the assurance that if we leave that mountain with Him that He will be faithful to keep it out of our lives.  We gave it to Him and now we only face that beautiful garden of peace.

Thank you sweet Jesus for your blessed assurance that anything we might face in this health crisis won't be faced alone, but, we will face it with Your hand in ours.



Biopsy Done

On the 7th we went for the pre-op meeting with the doctor and then yesterday we were back again for the biopsy.  Very surprised that they allowed me to stay in the room with George while the biopsy was being done. 

12 samples were taken to be sent to the lab to be analyzed.  The report should be back next Friday or the following Monday at the latest.  Now, the wait begins.  What ever the results might be, we know that God has a reason and a purpose for allowing this occurence in our lives.  We were not meant to understand or question the reason why.  It has certainly drawn us closer to God, even when I felt that I couldn't get any closer.  In His time, all things will be revealed to us; not a day too soon or too late, but in His timing.

Both of us were at complete peace yesterday; matter of fact, we are still at peace both mentally and spiritually.  There have been so many, many prayers said for us and the situation we are facing.  The Peace I feel actually transcends any human explanation, just as God's word says will happen; if and when we put our total and complete faith in Him and give Him our worries and troubles.

We shall patiently wait for the scientic evaluation of the biopsy, while we are standing firm in God's hands.  There is sweet peace to be had from this sweet Spirit.
