I was just reflecting on life today and thinking about being a Mom and what joy and pride our sons and daughters bring. It is a wonderful thing to watch God shape the lives of our children. We have them for such a short time before they are grown. As Believers we want nothing more than to see our children fall madly in love with the Lord of all creation and serve Him with all of their might and for all of their days and sometimes we get to glimpse the sacred work that He is doing in their hearts to accomplish this. On the day of my initial diagnosis, Cory (our 18 year old) took pen and paper and wrote from His heart the internal struggle to process our news. Below is the result and I share it with you today...
Just the other day some news came to my ear
For the first time of my life my heart is filled with fear
I'm trying to be strong; trying hard to keep my faith
Lord come here and stay; God I need You to carry on
So I'll keep my eyes on you
I won't look down at my feet
I know you'll see me through
And I won't miss a beat
God there's nothing I can do
Except to trust in you
So Lord lead on
Your will be done
And help me walk in truth.
Lord if You could send a sign or just shed a little light
On the situation that's before me, show me Your might
But if it should be Your will that I should bear this cross
Hold me close to You so that my faith will not be lost
So I'll keep my eyes on you
I won't look down at my feet
I know you'll see me through
And I won't miss a beat
God there's nothing I can do
Except to trust in you
So Lord lead on
Your will be done
And help me walk in truth.
So I will live my life as if there's no tomorrow
God will wipe my eyes and wash away my sorrow
No matter what life brings if what You say is true
Then You are in control and this road leads to You....
So I'll keep my eyes on you
I won't look down at my feet
I know you'll see me through
And I won't miss a beat
God there's nothing I can do
Except to trust in you
So Lord lead on
Your will be done
And help me walk in truth.
Be encouraged today wherever you find yourself. Hold tightly to your faith & keep your eyes on Him. I promise He will sustain you in midst of your day!

- "My heart is overflowing with a good theme. I recite my compositions concerning the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer." (Psalm 45:1) This verse has become a life verse for me. As I continue to walk it out, I realize this journey as a breast cancer survivor has changed me but does not define me. I remain the loved, chosen, redeemed and blessed child of the living God who supplies me daily with more hope, strength, grace and courage than I ever dreamed I could possess! God has been so good to me ... indeed my tongue is the pen of a ready writer ... poised to tell the story of my faithful Father! I love Him so!
