“Your faith can make an impact. God can use your faith and good reputation to draw others to Himself. Pray that God would do this in your life, giving you boldness and helping you live out your faith in a way that is seen by others, and that leads to His praise.”
— The Power of the Gospel: A Year in Romans by R.C. Sproul
Most of you do not know that I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2025. And have you heard God’s Spirit speak to you, telling you it is cancer, but you will be all right?
The one thing I knew was if He was speaking that loud to me, I should listen. It is not like I had not heard that voice before. He walked with me every step of the way. When something new was about to happen, His Spirit was right with confirming His word!
I wanted to represent God’s power in everything that happened to me and in me. I have failed, so don’t be misled. But when I hear his voice that clear. Obedience is the goal, as it was all the other times. Furthermore, I have not had cancer before, so I needed to listen and follow!
People who were close to me knew what I was going through. They commented on how well I was handling everything without complaining. Even the doctor commented. I still had a good sense of humor. These comments meant everything to me.
Because it meant I knew it was God and not me. It also meant that I did not betray the prayers of many people.
I feel good! I’m ready to get back to some of the things I love doing. Most importantly, I will remember this. When we exclaim, “Have faith and believe in God,” we do not know the impact our words have. And we do not know who is watching.
I’m glad to share my heart with you in hopes that you will remember someone is always looking.
