Happy Good Friday (and Happy Birthday to my husband, Mark. Wow! He’s mine.)

I’m sitting in the chemo chair this morning, completely aware that it is indeed a “Good Friday.” I continue to be cancer free. My recent brain scans were wonderful. My side effects have been subsiding and I’m feeling stronger and so grateful to be alive.

Mark has been in a tough season too. After surviving a heart attack last May, he recently underwent a cervical fusion and had several complications. He neck is doing very well and the other issues are resolved. His stamina is improving and he’s celebrating another birthday today.

Today is a “Good Friday” for us.

But not every Friday has been a good Friday. Continue reading →

Moses answered the people, do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today – you will never see again. God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut. Exodus 14:13-14a (MES)

Last week I had the honor of serving on a prophetic ministry team at the North Richland Hills campus. For several days, I sought God for a word of encouragement for specific individuals. My process of preparing looks something like this:

get still (Gather every single thing I might possibly want or need for the next hour – coffee, blanket, bible, journal, pen, glasses, computer…you get the idea.)
pray (Talk to God about how desperate I am to hear what He has to say.)
listen (Try to stop talking and wait to see if something comes to mind.)
pray again (Talk, talk, talk – tell God what will happen if He doesn’t speak.)
listen, listen, listen (Make a decision to cut it out, be quiet, put the pressure on God to speak and on me to be still.)
journal (Write down any and everything I hear, see or sense.)
repeat

Every morning I wake up and I kind of glance around to see if cancer is here. The other morning I noticed it was nowhere to be found. I said to myself, “Good riddance, and by the way, I’m still here.”

My latest scans confirm my latest blood work. No Evidence of Disease. The doctors call this N.E.D. and it’s a big deal for a 2x – stage 4 cancer patient. Thank you for being steadfast in the fight and being here to celebrate this good news.
