I Will Rejoice And Be Glad!

TODAY'S INSPIRATION:
Listen to:  I Will Rejoice -- William Murphy
Meditate on: Habakkuk 3:18-19 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.

It is so good to be back... Missed you!!! Yes, I am feeling better each day! (Thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement) Love you!  XOXO

 This morning my thoughts reflect on a hymn we sang in church when I was a little girl called Blessed Assurance. The chorus is "This is my story, this is my song. Praising my Savior, all the day long. This is my story, this is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long. This song is about the blessed confidence we  have when we trust in Jesus.
On this morning at 4:00am, I want to take a moment to bless the Lord. He deserves all the glory, honor, and praise. If I had 10,000 tongues, I could not praise Him enough. I invite you, right now to stop and bless Him. Think about all the wonderful things He has done in your life. The things He has protected you from....the punishment you deserved, but His grace spoke and justice did not prevail.
None of us can really answer all the "whys", "what ifs" or the "woulda, shoulda, couldas". But, we can stand in confidence and know that if God has brought us to a thing or to a situation in life, He is definitely able to see us through.
Diagnosed on May 18, 2012 with breast cancer, June-- 16 weeks of chemo, October 23, 2012--Masectomy and lymph node removal, January-- 33 Radiation Therapy Treatments and July-- DIEP Reconstruction Surgery.... This is my story, this is my song.... I am praising my savior all the day long. I choose to bless Him. I choose to praise Him because I know, "Greater is Coming"!  I truly love Him like that. He is my friend.
I went into surgery on July 8, 2013 for  a DIEP reconstruction at 7:00 am. This was about an eight hour surgery, and I am grateful that El was in the room!.(I will share more about the surgery at a later date) :) I know that I am not superwoman, but I expected to be up and popping in about a week. I thought I would be able to at least blog every day, as well as, handle other small assignments. Needless to say "MORPHINE" just doesn't wear off that quickly. I had  weekS of fatigue, pain, discomfort, sleepiness, and a very clouded head. Sleeping in an upright position does get tiring after a while.... But, He sustains me.... Hallelujah!
God said, "Rome was not built in a day." He encouraged me to rest and take time to allow my body to heal and be refreshed. I am so glad He loves me like that.
This is a journey I would not have chosen. But, yet I have made up my mind, I Will Rejoice and Be Glad! He came and HE healed me, HE came and refreshed me and I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD.
 I encourage you today as you meditate on the word of God that you  bless the Lord...... You are on a journey to health and wellness. But, while you are on this journey have the blessed assurance that God is with you. He has not forgotten you, nor has he abandoned you. Take a moment and... right in the middle of it...bless His name!

 I am on my my way....and we are back on the grind. Pray much for me as we move forward in purpose and destiny.

I am a PINK Treasure and I am Living Life on PURPOSE!

Love you to LIFE!

    Sister,

    I am elated that you are doing well and that God continues to strengthen you and keep you. I must admit, it is not easy for me to always read or hear about the affects of cancer, as I have lost my closest loved one to this horrible disease. However, your words of encouragement have helped me to face this issue and pray for others.

    Thank you for being such a wonderful example of strength and courage. Your faith is evident and ultimately contagious.

    May God richly bless and Keep you and your family!

FAST AND FURIOUS WEDNESDAY Mark 9:29    So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting." In the book of Mark chapter 9: 17 - 29, there is a story about a man and his son. His son had been sick since birth with epileptic like symptoms. The father described his son as having a mute spirit. The disciples prayed, but the problem was yet unresolved. They were unable to cast out the unclean spirit. When Jesus took control of the situation, he told the told the father, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."  The bible says that Jesus commanded the unclean spirit to come out of him and enter him no more. The spirit responded by leaving and the boy was healed, delivered, and set free. Jesus, when asked by the disciples why they were unable to cast out the spirit, said, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting." This scripture is our reference for "Fast and Furio...

The Incredible Journey

Now [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage]away from your country, from your relatives and your father's house, to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12 Song Of Inspiration:  Jessica Reedy - Moving Forward Words of Inspiration and Meditation The word incredible is defined as difficult to believe, far-fetched, or extraordinary. Other descriptions are astounding, inspiring, or improbable. When God called Abram to take his family and journey to a land that he would himself  show him, Abram probably had some reservations. He had no clue where the land would be found or how far away he had to travel. But, Abram departed as the Lord had directed him. He was seventy-five years old at the time he began to take his Incredible Journey. He did not have enough foresight or revelation to call it incredible at the beginning. There was no way h...

Ladies, Join me for the launch of PINK TREASURES MINISTRY BLOG on April 15, 2013. The purpose of this ministry blog is to give a daily dose of inspiration to those that are traveling on a journey with cancer. I found out personally from my present experience with breast cancer that your life changes drastically after a cancer diagnosis. I believe your perspective of life will never be the same!  It takes our faith in God, love and support from family and friends, as well as assistance from the medical community when necessary, to get through this journey.  This is an invitation for all women to participate. Every woman is a treasure and God is bringing us together to support, love, encourage, inspire, motivate, and pray for each other. There will be inspirational scriptures, testimonies from other women, words of encouragement, healing prayers, and so much more! Please share this with every woman you know that is presently exp...
