Giving it to God:
Part 1
My family has had its share of cancer. My mom, dad, grandma,
grandpa, and cousin have all had that terrible “C” word. My mom, Kathy, has
been in remission for 3 years after going through intense chemotherapy
treatments for ovarian cancer. She lost her hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and
strength, but not her faith in God.
I’m not going to say it was easy to watch her go through it…because
it wasn’t. I can’t image what she was going through while I was away at college.
A few months ago, she went to the doctor for pain. He
thought it might be cancer again so she had surgery to remove the mass. It wasn’t
cancer! PRAISE GOD!
About 3 weeks ago, she went back into the doctor and he
found a tumor with abnormalities. Once again, back on the emotional roller
coaster…
Today (Oct 26), my mom and I are going to the doctor to find
out…
I’m not going to lie, I’ve been worrying quite a bit. The
Devil knows exactly where to hit…in my case, my heart. I know God has great
plans to use me to further His kingdom so I feel like the Devil has been
working overtime.
But at World Race training camp, I sincerely gave it to God.
The chains of worry have been broken and He has given me a peace. God didn’t “speak”
to me saying “your mom is cancer free”, but I have a peace because I know He
loves her. I don’t know how people go through life’s struggles without God. Who
can comfort, restore, guide, love… like our Savior???
Of course, my wonderful family, friends, church, World
Racers, etc are praying for a good report and I hope you join them in prayer. Stay posted for the results…
May God be glorified!
