Happy 4th of July everyone!
"He comfort us every time we have trouble, so that we can comfort others when they have trouble. We can comfort them with the same comfort that God gives us." 2nd Cor 1:4
Yesterday we went to celebrate the 4th of July at Pier Park (a huge shopping area with all kind of stores everywhere, and blocks from the beautiful Panama City Beach) The Panama City Orchestra play along as the fire works took place. Beautiful event to experience and a beautiful moment to thanks our Lord we are still one nation under God and that we can still call this nation a Christian Nation. So many blessings we received everyday that sometimes we take for granted.
Just few hours prior to the event we stop in a store to get few items, and I turned to see the newspaper displaying a picture of a man in Egypt sleeping on the top of a truck, all dirty and without shoes, and the paper said the bad political and economical situation Egypt is going through. and there I was ready to buy things to eat and enjoy the music and fireworks while that man so far away from us maybe did not even had breakfast or dinner. We may not be able to fix the problems and situations around the world, but we can pray for them and give thanks to our God for our every day living.
Last time I went to the Doctor, was a month ago, the MRI results were not good. Seems like the tumor is growing back, and now there is an area on the left side that shows a (maybe) new growth (the tumor removed was on the right hemisphere of the cerebellum) this shadow is on the left hemisphere.
How am I dealing with this?
Not well when I removed my eyes from Jesus. But when I look at His eyes, and my life, soul, heart, and thoughts are in Him, I am at so much peace and know that my Lord has plans for me, not to harm me, but to prosper me. There is a purpose for all these happening, but I have assurance that my God is in control, that nothing happens in this world without His approval. I don't know what is His plan for my life, but I know He wants me to trust Him and live a day at the time, enjoy each day, to be there for my Bethany and bring love to others.. If I am alive now after all that I have been trough (brain cancer, (2) brain surgeries, radiation and chemo, and against all odds and doctors predictions I am here, I am alive and not handicap. How can I doubt that my Lord will not take care of this situation?
I know I have been a stranger, have not write in a long time, but here I am with some news.
I moved from my sister Theresa (still moving) to an apartment in Lynn Haven, closer to Bethany school, grandma, and lots of stores, etc (that will save me a lot in gas). I am living by faith, I made this move just because the Lord really open wide the doors for me to rent this place, and I am happy putting this together.
July 27 I am going with Bethany to a mission trip in Honduras (Guamaca) to an orphanage with 600 kids. Can't wait to be there and be used by God touching the lives of those little ones that are in so much need of love and physical needs. and Bethany, this trip will be an awesome experience for her, a time for her to learn how good it is to be servants of other people as Jesus was (He came to serve, not to be served), to share or work for God. I know she will make friends and she will realize how many privileges she has here and how bless she is to have mommy and daddy and people that love her, and a God that will never leave her or forget her.
Once I am back from Honduras (August 10). I will be getting a part time job and going to the doc again, more research and magnetic resonance to figure out how are these things on my head behaving (growing or dormant).
This is it for now... more to come later =)
