April 5th I celebrated 3 years cancer-free! And here I am chasing my dreams, loving life, enjoying my family and friends, and even working some. My full-time Master of Education pursuit continues and I started teaching online (due to COVID19 restrictions) last week. I give all glory to God for anything and everything I accomplish. I am enjoying the life that God has given me and I truly thank Him for the mercy and blessings that He has shown me. <3
My deal with God is that if I am asked to speak to a group, I go. He has given me my crazy story to share and so, I do. I even did a 'live from my living room' presentation on April 4.
Each and every day, joy fills my soul as I fall in love with Christ anew. My trust rests in Him and the plan He has for my life. I know that God has a plan for me and each one who desires His way of life and freedom. I have never been so free because even my worries or concerns can be given to God. Some think that religion is about rules. It is actually the opposite. Our relationship with Christ is about being truly free from worldly bindings of fear and worry and anger and distrust and depravity ... the list will not end until Christ again comes to this world to take his people home with him to heaven.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
Do I worry about being good enough? The bottom line is that I am not good enough on my own but because Christ died and rose again, He has prepared a way for each of us. I used to worry about ever being good enough; however, Isaiah 61:10 tells a different story that I have memorized.
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness...
The deed is done and the deal is sealed. If we accept Christ, we are covered with His righteousness and we are promised salvation.
Each human is given a choice. What is yours?
Stay healthy and safe! Love you all.
