Dear
Blog Friends,
During the worship portion of church this past Sunday, I was thinking about peace. Peace is more valuable
than possessions or paid bills, more precious than calm surroundings or lack of
troubles. Peace is even more important than physical health. Our bodies are
*corruptible, meaning they are in the process of dying; whether or not we
struggle with a disease or sickness, each of our bodies are dying at varying
rates. Peace transcends this corruptible physical world and transports to a
place of internal stillness and calm. This is the place where Jesus' voice is
heard the clearest. I love to be with Jesus in the place of peace that He has
fashioned just for me. From the beginning of this season, peace has been my
guide; Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
When I think about
all that has happened to my corruptible body since November of last year, I
marvel at the greatness of my God Who has held, consoled, healed and empowered
this earthly vessel. He took an awful situation and used it to propel me into
the next phase of my destiny. My God is so good that He can use any "thing" for
His glory, and I am humbled that He chose me.
On Tuesday, I will
receive my final saline fill on the left, then it must "rest" for three months
as a "scar pocket" forms in order to house the permanent implant. After that,
surgery will be scheduled, most probably in December.
Praises:
*God has empowered
me to continue with my lifestyle changes in diet and exercise.
*My body is
responding to this change in lifestyle making me look and feel
healthier.
*Of all the things
with which Jesus has blessed, peace is the most precious! :) I believe the peace that the Lord has given has
been my greatest testimony during this season. Peace speaks louder than words
to others.
*The Lord has brought other woman into my path who have
or have had breast cancer. I speak life and hope in Jesus each time I am given
the opportunity.
*Jesus protected me
from injury during an accident I had while coming home from work, two Tuesdays
ago. In the split second hitting the guardrail, I thought the air bag would
smack me, but it didn't. I didn't even get sore.
*The abnormal labs I
reported in my last email were repeated and came back fine. Thanks for
praying!
Prayer:
*I have had random
bouts of extreme fatigue. If you could pray that I would be able to determine
the cause of this, I would appreciate it.
*Finances have been
tight. Tony's work has slowed; we now have two sons in college, and my recent
accident have caused an increase in bills.
You are all precious
to me! Thank you for standing with me.
With Much Love
Always...
Beautiful Grace
