Everyday when I wake up, I thank and praise the Lord for another day. Everyday is a gift. And yet, I really should not be that surprised. I have had so much support from family and friends. Thank you, again, to everyone who has prayed that I could be done with cancer. Along with my earthly support, I also had a visit from a heavenly angel.
In November, I had a dream. In this dream an angel came to me and said, "You will have cancer one more time and then you will be OK". My first response was 'What does that mean?!?' It is fairly simple ... so I will just take it in its simplicity that I will be OK!! I did not tell anyone about this dream at the time because I did not want to have cancer one more time. However, with the turn in events, I am very happy with that dream and tell anyone about who will listen. After all, if you can not believe a messenger from God, then who can you believe?
Yet with the prospect of more chemo, even with such an amazing promise my faith wained and I struggled with the 'what now' paranoia. After surgery in May and the disappointment of a messy pathology report, I was praying that Christ would let me just touch the hem of his garment so that I could be healed. (See Luke 8: 45-48) Luke 8:48 has become a verse that I meditate on ... "And He [Christ] said to her, 'Daughter be of good cheer your faith has made you well. Go in peace.'". It was during the week that I started praying for the faith I needed and the privilege of touching the Lord's hem and being totally healed when a church elder called me and said, "We have decided to call together any of the church members who want to pray for you and meet after church to pray for you. Do you want to be there?" Yes! Of course I wanted to be there. It was another answer to my prayers. "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." (Matt 18:19-20) Prayer is powerful and prayer in groups is more powerful!
In a metaphorical way, Christ had provided a way for me to touch his hem. And then it hit me ... God, the creator of love and everything good, loves me so much and He loves all of us so much! It has been amazing to sit back and watch God's work. It is truly a testament to how much He works for and loves all of us. May my life bring glory to God.
If anyone reading this would like me to pray for them. Please, let me know and I will be happy to request blessings from God to pour onto you.
May God bless you and keep you close to His heart. Love, Holly
