About Me:
When you proclaim who you are and your determination, as long as it is not threatening to any one, you are ignored. But when you declare your alignment with the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the devil gets mad.
On May 21, 2009, I went for my annual mammogram expecting nothing but a routine response. Then on June 21, I got a letter telling me I needed to have additional tests done because they found unusual markings on my breasts. When I attempted to follow through with the testings they had suggested, I learned that only a PCP could order these test and I didn't have a PCP at that time.
On July 18, I was blessed with the opportunity to prepare a meal for about 35 Spiritual boot campers when I discovered that I had 2 LUMPS (one lump in each).
I have been re-affirming my faith and convictions this year. You see I had made a choice--FOR GOD I LIVE and FOR GOD I DIE--NO TURNING BACK.
My older daughter, Sharonda, got me an appointment, with her doctor whose belief is that the body will heal itself with proper diet and exercise.
My younger daughter left home to discover herself on July 21 of this year. While I'm happy and excited for her, it caused me to re-examine myself and answer questions, Will you also make changes? Will you move back to Michigan? ---where will you worship, what do you believe, who will you associate with---what do you stand for?-----etc.
On August 8, 2009, I saw this doctor for the first time. By this time the lump in my left breast had been dissolved. I left his office angry with him because I didn't yet know how God would use him later to test my faith and obedience to undermine the plan of Hell. I weighed 294lbs and the doctor put me on a 1000 calorie diet and said I had to walk at least 3 times a week.
The more I told others about my encounter with my doctor, I realized this was a test of obedience. I repented and ask God to give me the grace to submit and obey. This diet was hard. No more pop, no sweets, 3 ounce fish per day. Exercise, it is too hot, but God reminded me of walking in the mall. I began to thank God for my PCP. I imagine Naaman when the maiden told him to go wash in the river Jordan.
I still had my older daughter going to the same Church I am attending. Though she didn't live with me, we still saw each other at least 3 times a week. Then the news came one day, Sharonda, said, "God is calling me to another place mom. I 'm not sure where, I'm tired of being disobedient."
"Honey," I said, "Make sure it is God's voice you hear. Then whatever God tells you to do, Do It. Don't wait."
And she did. She left our fellowship. Her act of obedience brought pains and blessings. God OPENED doors for her, totally restored her marriage, gave her spouse an opportunity to go back to school; and Pastors according to his heart that have shepherded both her and Chris. Their nightmare has become a honeymoon.
On Aug 11, I went for my additional testing. They were extensive. They even took a right breast biopsy. Then the report from hell came, on 08/14/09 "It is confirmed you have breast cancer." Cancel, cancel. I said, "By the stripes of Jesus I am healed and made every whit whole." I believe the report of the LORD—my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. And greater is He on the inside of Voin than He that is in the World."
Then I still had to make a decision--What did God Tell me to do?
He did not tell me to leave. He told me to pray. I did and I will continue to do so. Again the tempter, Satan, tries to stop us from fulfilling God's Will. ARE you sure you should stay where you are.
SURE AS I Live. SATAN is UNDER MY FEET. GOD quickly connected HIS invincible army consisting of Prayer Warriors, Intercessors, Christian Breast Cancer Overcomers, Encouragers, friends, and Apostle Bobby to lift me up to the throne Of God. I got advice, signs to look for and avoid, and lessons that supported my PCP's instructions. God is such a faithful God of order. I saw my PCP on the 8/17/09 and was schedule to see a breast surgeon on 08/25/09.
By this time, I was taking the Word of God Daily, Aim Barley Life and Xango the mangosteen juice product. I was walking 3 times a week. On a 1000 calorie diet that consists of fish meat products.
On 08/25/09, I met my breast surgeon and we talked about what he thought should occur. He has a special reassuring confidence that it was a minor thing. I agreed and took it to a new level, I challenged him by asking "suppose you don't find anything when you do surgery"- then he told me about the breast clip that was place in me on 08/11/09.
I have lost at least 20 lbs and I had my breast surgery Tuesday, 9/22/09. I am confident that the cancer is gone. I AM HEALED IN JESUS NAME. I had pain the first two days.
I GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR on Monday 9/28/09. I feel and look fine.
Always remember:
When you squeeze an apple --you get apple juice
When you squeeze a lemon---you get lemon juice
But when you squeeze a Christian--you get JESUS!
By his grace, I rejoice , still live and tell his story.
