Healing Powers of the Beach

Leave a comment

I am so thankful that I got to go on the discipleship retreat this weekend! There is something calming about the roar of the waves as they hit the beach. It not only helped me breathe and get a clearer picture of my cancer journey. It also drew me closer to my Heavenly Father.

As we read and studied the story of Esther, I realized that I don’t always seek the Lord for guidance. I usually make a decision and then ask the Lord to bless it. That is so backwards. I should always be listening to the Holy Spirit and letting Him guide me.

We really hit the Purify Your Heart Assignment hard this weekend. Let me tell you…it is not easy to delve in deep and examine your heart. We never want to hear what we have done wrong and that is exactly what God want us to do…confess and repent.

I am thankful that the Lord never gives up on me. I know that I am a work in progress. I need to remember that when I confess my sins to the Lord, He is faithful to forgive them.

Prayer Points for Today

  • Holy Spirits guidance
  • Continuing to make progress on the Purify Your Heart Assignment
  • Staying in God’s Word
  • Upcoming Surgery

Surgery Date

Leave a comment

I finally have a surgery date…Friday, April 7…5 weeks from tomorrow.

I’m not thrilled with having to wait 5 weeks, but both doctors have vacations planned. Don’t they know that I have an aggressive cancer in my right breast?!?!? I am really trusting the Lord with this and trying to remember His timing is perfect. My fervent prayer at this point is that it will not spread in the next 5 weeks and that everything will go smoothly.

The Lord has truly been faithful in carrying me on this journey. I don’t know where I would be without His love, mercy and grace.

I have a discipleship retreat this weekend. I debated whether or not to go, but I really feel the Lord is prompting me to get away. I am praying that the Lord will help to let go of whatever I need to let go of and to embrace Him more. He is my Rock and my Salvation.

I am putting my trust in Him alone.

Prayer Points for Today

  • That the cancer will not spread before surgery
  • For the doctors who will perform the surgery
  • For the discipleship retreat
