God Is Bigger

This blog is a little different, because I am still processing and educating myself. In the meantime, this is where I am.

I am reminded of how God used the death of Nate Saint and Jim Elliott to help open the eyes of the Auca tribe in Ecuador. God's plan is perfect. I am only called to serve with everything I have for as long as I can.

Today, I found out that I have melanoma in my right eye (There is a specific name for it, but I don't feel like going upstairs to get the paper). There is treatment for it, but it seems really rough. There is also a 20% chance that it could show up somewhere else in my body over the next 5 years. We were told that there is no treatment if that happens.

On the way home I told Naomi that this is really testing my faith. As a body Christ, we read books, read the Bible, go to church, and watch movies that help us in our Christian walk. Knowledge is simply knowledge until it is put into action. That is where I think I am. We know what we should do, but we don't really know how we are going to react when our faith is tested.

Husbands, it is so great to have a Godly wife. On the way to our car, we were both a little quiet. Once we both got in the car, we hugged. We prayed. Finally, we listened to this song. This song is so amazing! Click Here

Uncertainty is hard for mankind to deal with. In the midst of uncertainty is when our faith grows. God is bigger.

God's Grace In Cancer

I have written an article on grace that defines it a little better that what we are going to be doing in this article. Here is a link to that post. In March of 2023, I was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma in my right eye. Two years later, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Uveal Melanoma in my liver. A couple of weeks ago, I had a full body PET scan, and it showed that my liver tumors had doubled in size. The oncologist is telling me that I have anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. This could vary depending on how my body reacts to some of the medicine that is designed to prolong my life here on earth. However, none of the proposed medicine is going to heal.  I have tried every natural integrative option to help with my cancer including going to Mexico for 3 weeks to Hope4Cancer. This is a very rare form of cancer, and there is not a medicine on the market that has shown any major results in healing this kind of cancer.  GotQuestions.com defines grace as “God’s benevolence on the undes...

Job 12:10

JOB 12:10 In his hand is the life of every living thing  and the breath of all mankind. My latest visit to the doctor was a curve ball. God brings trials when we least expect it. We have the best doctor in the southeast helping us with my health. He informed us that I have stage 4 incurable liver cancer. I have 1 tennis ball sized tumor, 1 golf ball sized tumor, and about 6 other tumors. They are going to treat the tumors with chemo. However, the problem is that this form of cancer will continue to produce more and more tumors. Today, at our Day Camp, I spoke on how God used the bad things in Joseph's life to move him into position to accomplish His will. Isaiah 55:8 " My plans aren’t your plans,  nor are your ways my ways, says the   Lord ." In my finite earthly sin cursed mind, I have no idea why God is doing this. I know that my God is perfect, holy, righteous, and can only do good. Life is a gift from the Lord. Death is not death to the believer. It is merely a c...

Incurable

Incurable - Beyond the skill or power of medicine. I will never forget the words the doctor said to us "This is your only option, and this cancer is incurable." Thinking through the Bible, God is the miraculous God. He parted the Red Sea. He walked on water. He caused the sun to stand still. He tore down the walls of Jericho. He caused fire from Heaven to consume the water and the alter. He raised Lazarus from the dead. He made a lame man walk again. He healed the blind. He raised a girl from the dead. He fed 5,000 people with a boys lunch.  You say "incurable?" I say, "Let me introduce you to the Creator of the universe." He saved me from my incurable disease called sin. He adopted me as His child. I have the best inheritance awaiting me. " And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding..." (Philippians 4:7) Mercy Me came out with the song "Even If." It is so good. I love the chorus. I know You're able and I know You can...
