A bunch of gals enjoying each other

I need them in my life to keep me calm

All of them bring me so much joy. All of them stand by me as I stand by them.

Some of us need a little more coaching then others.

From "C" to "F" and all the emotions in between

 Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
 Chris Tomlin - Amazing Grace (My Chains Are gone)

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace 

 

 The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

 

 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine

But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

The clouds were floating around us ,changing every few miles.

Chris Tomlin was blasting from our CD player

I was singing at the top of my lungs ,tears streaming down my face.

Last year our Penticton trip was halted due to my cancer surgery.

This year was different.

The week before we left my CT scan brought up the big "C" again.

We've found another cancer tumor, more testing is needed.

And the big "F" fear appeared and rallied itself around my head.

 I realize God is a God of miracles and I am in His hands.

 And despite what is in store for me I must accept it.

But being human I stamper , throw temper tandrums and don't want to do this.

And when I sang the Lord has promised good to me, let me tell you I got a little choked.

Really?

Yes, really. I must walk this path.Yes He is good to me.

And I see God looking down at me from heaven and surrounding me with people that want to help me and love on me.

And I see promises of rainbows despite the storm.

He is in control.

And I am praying for another miracle? You Bet I am.

 

 Won't you pray with me?
