A Year of Changes, Moving into a Year of Joy!

 This past year had its ups and downs. I truly believe we all could say this. Mine started one year ago today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have surgery to remove both breasts. The fact that I have chronic leukemia complicated things. I already take Chemo for the leukemia, that limited the choices for the medication for the breast cancer. We had a couple options of oral medication I could take for the breast cancer. However, I could not tolerate any of those medication‘s. But still my chance of reoccurrence is fairly low. We will take that as a victory.Today is the one-year anniversary of the surgery, therefore making it one year in remission. 

All of this sounds overwhelming. But for myself and for my husband we were not overwhelmed. We always felt the Lord had me in his hands and He would take care of me. And He did take care of me. And He continues to take care of me every moment of every day.

There are so many of you right now living in fear over Covid. And whether or not to take the vaccine.

This has to be an individual‘s choice. What is right for me may not be right for you. It is difficult for many right now that do not want to lose their jobs because of no vaccine.I don’t agree that one should be put into that situation of having to choose between a vaccine and your job. I cannot imagine having to make a choice like this.

There’s so much going on in our country right now and in the world right now that is making our lives difficult. As I pray and ask the Lord for wisdom and understanding, I also pray that He somehow turns our country back to a God-fearing country. Home of the free and the brave .

I pray this for all of the countries in this world we live in.  That our Lord Jesus guides our leaders.  Even if they do not acknowledge Him as Lord, He can still influence them.  How? Because He is God Almighty. 

We, as the body of Christ need to be on our knees praying. We need to be interceding for our country and others.  We need to pray that once again we have God-fearing leaders who love Jesus Christ and choose to follow Him.  This is how we can see a positive change happen in this dark world. We all know that when Jesus returns He will light up this whole earth.  He will reign over all.  

My faithful readers, I pray you can grab ahold of the hope and joy we have in Him.  We don’t have to live in fear.  But instead in victory. For me, everyday is a victory.  I hang on to that.  God is with us!
