Let the river flow...

In the passed 8 weeks, my experience with God has been precious to me. It is hard to put into words, but I'd like to try. I have experienced the very Presence of Christ sitting with me in my home. I have felt His loving arms wrap around me. I have felt His deep love for me. His tender compassion has comforted me when the night of my soul mirrored the storms that were outside of my window this past late winter. As I leaned into Him, sometimes, I could almost hear His actual voice. His words coming to my mind, filling my heart, lifting my inner man and giving me strength. As I received His truth, fear would leave and peace would surround me like warm blankets. Sometimes it was scripture that would come to my mind that I didn't remember memorizing. Sometimes it was a single word that would grab my heart and I would find it in reference and begin my search through His Word with it. His spirit in me was a life ring thrown out into the tempest sea of my soul...I would grab the life rope and hang on!

How BEAUTIFUL and bright the morning is when now the storm has passed. The night is over and the sun shines once again. My heart rejoices in all that He has done! I am in awe of Him.

All test results are in. No more cancer. No further treatment is required. It's over!

Doctors will continue imaging every 4 months, then 6 months, then yearly.

I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me. I know without a shadow of doubt, that He was in the very center. I have learned much and yet it is only like "just" opening the door. I will never be the same from this experience. What the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good. He has moved my heart sovereignly to love more, Him and others. I have always loved. But things are different now. He has caused my heart to be willing to risk at a greater level. His love has poured in like mighty waters and has to flow out! Lord, let it be in me as You desire.

By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light,

So that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints.

And so you can know and understand what is

The immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power

In and for us who believe,

As demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him

At His own Right hand in heavenly places.

Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name!

(above every title that can be conferred),

Not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

And He put all things under His feet and has appointed Him

The universal and supreme Head of the church, which is His body,

The fullness of Him Who fills all in all...

For in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete

And Who fills everything everywhere with Himself.

Ephesians 1:18-23
