The Holy Spirit is Getting Me Ready
June 11, 2017
I do believe, very humbly, that what happens to me while I have cancer, is something that the Holy Spirit is doing FOR me. Cancer has changed me. I was saved from the “me” of the past, yet again. My story is like no one else’s story and I'm still processing much of it. I feel God wants this for me, to always be at His feet studying and longing for more of Him. Today's message spoke volumes of who now, I know Him to be. The Holy Spirit has been redirecting how I process thoughts and questions in my brain. I find myself asking questions about my own questions, helping me to better understand statements that He has made to me… like, “I have the mind of Christ.” Not long ago, I never would have allowed myself to entertain ideas or realities like this, but now I know that it was out of my control. The Holy Spirit is getting me ready. He’s broadening my mind. This is all so exciting and overwhelming for me sometimes. I appreciate mornings like this when it all gets reigned in for me. Thank you Jesus!

A dear friend suggested I read a book that reminded her of what she knew of my life. The following text is our communication about this.
Me:
I just finished the book you suggested for me. Wow. MY life is a picnic at the beach!
My friend:
No, my life is. Sometimes when you talk to me and you unfold more pieces of your life it reminds me of that book. I love you. You're absolutely the best and there is no denying it.
Me:
You're way too generous with your thoughts and words for me. I'm so humbled. I've prayed long and hard for God to use and equip me to share and speak of the joys He's given me. He's been all over my life and I've always known it. For that, I'll be forever grateful. I long to tell my story to those that God puts in my path, even if it’s only one poor unsuspecting soul at a time. I just want folks to know that the seemingly unbelievable or impossible is actually TRULY possible. This is my God and He's beautiful.
My friend:
You have to write a book. I want to have a print of those words in my kitchen.
