PEACE

Praise to our God who continues to be the lifter of our heads!!!

This Tues. I am scheduled to get my port and 2 weeks from today (Sept.
3) I will have my first round of chemo. Amazing how the Lord prepares
your heart to go places you really don't want to go.
The Lord reminded me of Peter...Jn. 21:18 "Truly, truly, I say to you
when you were younger, you used to gird yourself, and when you grow
old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will gird you,
and bring you where you do not wish to go" Now this He said,
signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He
had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me!".
I couldn't help but think of Ps. 139:16 "Thine eyes have seen my
unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written, the days
that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them".
Our lives are no different than the disciples that walked and talked
with God. Our lives have been ordained to give God glory in places we
would have never asked to be. I love this! It takes complete focus
off of cancer and chemo. Will I follow Jesus? This word in Greek
means "to accompany", don't you love that!!! He will never ask us to
go on a path without Him! As a disciple to be in His presence is our
life. Would I ever want to be anywhere without Him? Never! As I
accompany Jesus into the chemo suite who else will be there? Someone
who is following Him as well? Someone who will encourage me and teach
me? Someone who doesn't know our wonderful Emmanual...please pray
yes. I am praying for the privilege of a salvation to come from the
fire.
God has put sweet anticipation in my heart for the journey ahead. God
has heard your cry for I know many of you have prayed that. He has
given me peace of what lies ahead.
"For THou doest make him most blessed forever; Thou dost make him
joyful with gladness in Thy presence" Ps. 21:6
Oh Bless your Name our Most High God!!!
Lets make much of Him,
