"beating" cancer, Divine Healing, faith and unbelief, miracles

Miracles Happen Every Day!

Two hours later I felt for the tumor it was gone. My oncologist confirmed it was gone. I went to my surgeon yesterday and he said that my exam was normal and I looked great. He said the tumor should have grown with the type of cancer I am battling. He also said that he has been a breast surgeon for 17 years and never seen a case like mine - I am totally rare and he is baffled. To God be the glory!

Do You Have an Ideality Gap?

So I questioned, and still question today, my inner slave driver. “Do you seriously believe you can out-think, out-plan and out-produce the God of the Universe?" After all is said and done and re-done and re-said, He gives to us even in our sleep!

Listen to the Mockingbird!

Storms can leave a muddy mess, but we can rise - even glide above it all. The poet Carl Sandburg once said, “There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” In the fiercest storm of my life, my Stage IV cancer battle, wallowing in the mud was easy, yet wallowing made everything harder. On the other hand, praising God was hard at first, but made coping much easier.

Keep Calm and Cry Out to Jesus

Sometimes life's pain can be so physically and/or emotionally draining that something needs to give... quickly. When even the best of human efforts makes little difference, there is always something we can do - "cry out" to the Lord.

Power to Spare AND Share

Just. Be. Held.

If your eyes are on the storm You'll wonder if I love you still, But if your eyes are on the cross You'll know I always have and I always will.

How to Question God

Jesus Himself set a surprising precedent for questioning God. So I don’t think it’s a holy thing to never question Him.

Overcoming Being Overwhelmed

I found that fighting cancer is a supernatural endeavor - not a do-it-yourself project. Lean on Him and ask Him to teach you how to fight with His supernatural resources.
