Breast Cancer Awareness
Recently I just went for my first Mammogram.. Staying faithful and knowing everything will be ok. I waited for the results The call came when I was doing my favorite thing looking for books! All I heard was redo, density, your nest appointment will be in 2 weeks.
My heart starts beating and I am asking, What does Density mean? Should I be worried? No, the nurse says! I was fine with the possible call back to redo the test, I however was not with the terms that were used. Now I wait, one day, two days, a week and another week. Tuesday October 27th,15 arrives...reminding my self its going to be ok, no problem I have been through so much this is just another trial to make me stronger.
Ms. Ross, I stand and head back. Taken into the room to change and secure my purse and clothes..I wait to be called. Vicky calls me into her office. She asked for me to sit down. She tells me that they called me back to recheck my left breast, as she saying this... To myself I am starting to feel a strong wave of anxiety start to rise... I take a deep breath... I asked why? She tells me that there is an area of Nodules... could be normal for me,to rule anything out they want additioenal pictures. I start to tear up, I know that I will be OK and even if I am not I will praise my FATHER, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Go into the room and proceed with the two additional pictures needed. Vicky tells me she has to put more pressure to get a better view, I wince in pain... Take a deep breath, and breath!!! A few minutes later.. We were done!!!
Vicky ask for me to wait as she gets these checked... Within 5 minutes she comes back and says I am all clear... It was nothing.
I praise GOD for that... But in that fleeting moment... There could have been.
I don't say that lightly because though I do not have anything to worry about, I began to pray and think about ALL who have been effected by breast cancer and all cancer. It has imprinted on my heart and in my spirit to daily intercede for a world ravaged by this disease.
My journey forward will be forever different in this life... In a moment... In a blink of an eye... LIFE CAN BE CHANGED!
To everyone who reads and shares this with anyone with cancer... You have someone who is praying for you and is sending you hugs of comfort and plenty of love to go forth on your journey.
With a humbled and thankful heart...

Eucharisteo
Last week my friend and I started Ann Voskamp study, "1000 Gifts". It is on Eucharisteo ..Thanks!
Since beginning this study the day to day is not the same..what we see with physical eyes, there is more to it...the beauty of creation, the playfulness of our pets, the sound of a heart beat...these are GOD'S GIFTS...In it is HIS love for us!
In the picture above you see the other three words...each are from the root words in "Eucharisteo"...
Charis-Grace
Eucharisteo-Thanks
Chara-Joy
In one word we are given much and it turns back to GOD, for without HIM we would NEVER fully experience it! Grace, Thanks, Joy!! Simple three words and yet in our day to day routine we don't take time to enjoy GOD'S GIFTS. Each day you wake up its a gift...the creator has sustained you to experience another day, GOD'S LOVE is in abundance for us, will you take time to see it? To bask in it?
I really like what Ann shares about the 1000 gifts, She says,This dare to write down 1000 things I love, it really is a dare to name all the way GOD loves me, the true love dare!
How simple and beautiful is that?!! Do you know how much you are loved, how much OUR FATHER adores you right where you are at.
If you are reading this and have not accepted JESUS as your savior, HE loves you and HE is waiting for you to accept HIM. Its really easy to do and you can do it right where you are it. I am going to share a simple prayer all you have to do is repeat it and mean it and you will be saved.
Dear Jesus,
Please forgive me for all my sins, cleanse me OH LORD, come into my heart, be LORD of my I surrender all to you, In JESUS name...AMEN!!
(If you said that prayer..Praise GOD welcome to the family) Very important you get into a bible believing church where you can be discipled and grow in your new life as a Christian...I am so happy for you!
I want to end with this from Ann, its powerful in every season of life we go through...
In the silent times: Seek GOD
In the painful times: Praise GOD
In the terrible times: Trust GOD
At ALL times: Thank GOD
Grace,Thanks,Joy..start your list of 1000 gifts today...please share what has been revealed, we are on this journey together will you celebrate..Eucharisteo...I sure am!!!!
In CHRIST love and service,
Tina
