Cancer

Monday – we heard it. Cancer. My mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s a small lump, operable and treatable. However it is the first time someone in my immediate family has heard the C-word.

I know God is able. I know that He is the great physician. I know that He is in control of all things. I know that He can see the “Big Picture.” I know that His ways are higher. I know that nothing is wasted with God. I also know that God knows everything.

I also know that my mom has breast cancer. I know that she is facing surgery. I know she has scheduled an appointment with the surgeon of choice next Wednesday. I know that there are now two times in our family’s life – pre and post cancer.

My mom is the rock in our family. She is the prayer warrior. She is the one who visits people in the hospital. She is the encourager. She maintains the sanity in our family. She is the one who keeps us on track and today our world is shaken.

Today Mom told us how God has been teaching her through this experience. He has told her that He is holding her hand. He gave her that verse and He has demonstrated to her though out her journey so far that He is right there with her.

He is also here with me.

Thank you so much for praying for me and my family through this time.
