Mountain Removed: New Life and New Beginnings!!!

Dear Victorious and Faithful Friends,




The Monday after this past Christmas, I received a pathology report stating that I had breast cancer. Today, the Monday after Easter (Resurrection Day), I received the results of the PET scan from last week...no metastasis!!! Jesus was born to take our sins, heal our diseases and provide a way for us to be with Him throughout eternity. I do not believe in coincidences. The report declaring the resolution of cancer coming today is just another example of how my God speaks, and I believe He is saying to all of us that His resurrection makes "New Life and New Beginnings" possible, whether a disease needs to be eradicated or our sins need to be wiped away. Today is the day of "New Life and New Beginnings." Let's seize this gift by giving ourselves unreservedly to Jesus, accepting His free gift of salvation in its fullest measure!!!





Many Praises!



I continue to follow Peace no matter the pressure applied to my soul to do otherwise.



This morning I typed out, "The PET scan came back negative." I declared the good report in obedience to a prompting of His Spirit before I physically received the report of no metastasis to any other place in my body!!!



I have resumed my regular work schedule and duties.



Strongman and I celebrated the Passover Seder last Thursday with some dear friends (Thank you, Dave and Lori). This celebration was of special significance to me as I am a living example of the "Death Angel passing over."



I received the second MRSA culture results this morning, which came back as negative. I am officially clear of infection as per Pinnacle Health System policy!



My lifestyle has dramatically changed. I now exercise at least 5 days a week, walking/running 3 miles (5 K) each day. Dairy has been eliminated from my diet , as well as, processed sugar, caffeine, and butter/margarine. My meat (animals that walk on land) intake has been severely restricted, while I am blessed to enjoy salmon three times a week.



My new oncologist has described himself as "a worker bee in the hands of God." I'm not sure if he has a personal relationship with Jesus, but he does respect my beliefs.



It's wonderful to feel great and have some energy! This in itself has been a miraculous transformation as I have been a "tired person" since my teens. The cause of my fatigue was most probably "estrogen dominance." Which is being treated by my change in diet and exercise. http://www.estrogendominanceguide.com/symptoms-of-estrogen-dominance-in-women



Strongman has encouraged me to stand in what my heart tells me in regards to further treatment and gives me a complimentary viewpoint with his logical, left-brained way of thinking. He has the ability to see through the fog to the point of an issue. Since I tend to process with my heart, he balances me.



Continued Prayer

The PET scan did show some esophageal irritation, which I'm thinking is due to the stress of two surgeries, the infection, and all the Motrin I was taking for pain relief. I took Motrin, because the narcotic made me "loopy." ;) The oncologist wants me to take Tums with calcium before supper each day. I was just asking Jesus over the weekend if I was getting enough calcium in my diet. I love the way He answers me.



The blood results were normal and according to the doctor, "You are no where close to menopause." I take this as a praise, but in the doctor's eyes this is not good. As long as my ovaries pump out estrogen, the chance of reoccurrence of cancer is higher. I want God's direction on this, ovaries release different types of estrogen, some of which are cancer preventative.



My next surgery will be in July, please pre-pray against complications. I don't want any more infections!



Thank you all for standing with me. "Beautiful" is the only word that can describe the support I have received throughout this season of trial. Jesus has shown me that with Him, we can have peace no matter what circumstances envelope us, and in that peace, His power is released!!!



With Much Love Always...

Beautiful Grace :)



P.S. The attachment shows some of my flowers. I choose them because yellow signifies a gift from God and the red stripes are symbolic for the stripes Jesus took for my healing. Be blessed my friends!!!



I went out of the house for the first time since my infection began on Monday,

not counting doctors' appointments.

My heart was overwhelmed to see this beautiful little flower.

My heart heard, "The winter is past. The flower blooms. Spring is coming."

Jesus, gave me this flower! ♥

We planted numerous bulbs in this section.

It will be gorgeous next spring!

Previously, our landscape scheme consisted of wooden timbers

placed in sharp 45-degree angles serving as boarders.

Now we have curved borders without the timbers. :)



My Flowers, Herbs and Facebook Thoughts

Is it faith or dysfunction that causes one to repeatedly place one's hand on a hot burner and expect not to be burned?

The reason I live is to worship You, my Jesus! Thank You so much for being with me the past four days at work. It's all about YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!! :)

Tonight the Lord revealed my four main spheres of influence. As I pondered them, I realized how much favor He has poured out on me for three of them. But now I need to pray about that fourth area. I will manifest the favor the Lord has been liberally giving me. This arena is NO MATCH FOR THE MOST HIGH GOD!!!! Favor in the fourth sphere, in the great and awesome name of my Jesus!!!! AMEN!!!

Extrapolation: to project, extend, or expand (known data or experience) into an area not known or experienced so as to arrive at a usually conjectural knowledge of the unknown area b : to predict by projecting past experience or known data

In simpler terms, extrapolation is taking a pattern of known data, and then predicting unknown data by continuing the trend of known data.

As Christians, we may know something about someone (data), but do not know the whole story about them. The temptation is to extrapolate the rest of the story (data). This a form of extrapolation, and it is a practice that hurts others. Godly discernment does not extrapolate!



Did you know that Charles Darwin took known data, identified a trend in that data, and extrapolated the rest of the data? The result is what we now know as the theory of evolution. Holy Spirit empower us not to extrapolate!!!! For Your glory, Jesus!!!!! AMEN!!!!!

My heart dances with You, Jesus!

When discerning wrong, prayer is always appropriate, but action to correct the wrong is not necessarily correct. The Lord must direct our words, our steps, our actions.

The Lord reminded me of that yesterday through a prophetic email by Chuck Peirce. We must have been given the authority by God to address an injustice ...or wrong, even if that injustice or wrong directly impacts

us.

 

"I heard a breathtaking definition of 'justice' this week: The restoration of every violation of love," from AJ Butel's "Any Battles We are Facing are in His Hands!"

Daddy, You are the God of Justice. (Isaiah 30:18) You know every heart and its motive, and make all circumstances turn for good, because we love you and... are called according to Your purpose. (Romans 8:28) We will worship You in the battle, fall down on our faces as did Jehoshaphat and watch You set ambushes for our enemies! (2 Chronicles 20:18-23)

We are most Christlike when we pray for those who speak falsely against us, who mistreat and abuse. Just like Jesus, we can say, "Father, forgive them for they don't know what they are doing." Luke 23:34 And it's true, the people who hurt us don't know what they are doing. The greatest expression of Christ's love is... to pray that their deception is broken.

Ezekiel 3:17-19, is a sobering responsibility. We must speak only out of a desire to save the one caught in sin. Protect us from loose tongues and judgemental attitudes. Holy Spirit fill our hearts with Your heart, so that our words, would always reflect Your desire to save. Give us the ability to see to the heart ...of a matter, to see a person as You see him. All for You, Jesus!!!! AMEN!!!

Accusation when guilty is difficult, but justified. Accusation when innocent is even more difficult, but guess what, Jesus was innocent and condemned as a sinner. If we want to be like Jesus, we will suffer false accusations. What makes us Christlike is how we handle these false accusations. Empower us Holy Spirit!!! Open eyes to Truth!!!

Men will believe what their hearts choose to believe. If the evil one can manipulate hearts, then deception's door is wide open. No man can cause another to see the truth, only Truth can reveal it!!!
