I haven't wrote on my blog for awhile but I feel led to today.
One of my closest friends found out she has breast cancer in Oct and is undergoing a double-mastectomy today. As I write, she is being injected with a nuclear dye. I have been praying intensely for her to the point of not having any more words to say to the Lord, but feeling as if I want to keep praying for her. I love her so.
Thankfully we both love the Lord and we know that He is there. Thankfully we can have confidence in His control over all things and His abilities. Thankfully we can trust in His promises of a future and a hope. Thankfully His will prevails for our good whatever that ends up being. Thankfully we know that we can be glad in trials because there is great joy that lies ahead of us.
This is one of those times when I feel I am unable to do enough and feel helpless to do much from over 3000 miles away. I am thankful she knows my heart and that I love her. What an inspiration she has been in my life.
I want to post a few scriptures that I am leaning on during all of this.
Psa 121:7-8 The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
1Pe 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
Jer 46:28 Do not be afraid.... My servant, for I am with you," says the LORD. "
1Pe 4:12-13 Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to all the world.
Please keep Kim in your prayers as she goes through the next several months of recovery and reconstructive surgery.
