Allow Your Faith To Lead You To Victory

Thankfulness - We can always, at any time, go to God with requests. But we need to daily tell God thank you for Who He is and what He has done.

We all have times of discouragement, but we aren't supposed to live there. When things are going bad for us we need to press on and engage more than when things are going great!

Even in the harshest of days, there is always reason to praise Him.

Don't allow fear to dictate your path. Instead, allow your faith to lead you to victory.

PRAYER REQUEST: I had my follow up visit at the Dermatologist this morning about my rash on my breasts. He had said if the rash was still there after 2 weeks of medication he wanted to biopsy it. So I had the biopsy today. The doctor took 4cm out. He is trying to rule out Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma. It could also be Psoriasis or Pokiloderma. Please pray that it is not Cutameous T-Cell Lymphoma because this is a form of cancer. I go back in 11 days (Nov.19th) to get my stitches out and get my report. Thanks for all the prayers! ♥

As I look back over the past seven months, I have been tested for MS, a Pseudo Tumor, Meningitis, Optic Neuritis, Lupus, and many other autoimmune diseases, and am still in this process. But...If I had the choice to swallow a pill that would take me back in time to where I wouldn't have to do any of this, I wouldn't even be tempted. Not even if I didn't have to struggle with chronic pain, or didn't have any limitations with my eyesight. Why? Because I now have a joy that no trial can diminish. I have an indestructible peace that has been forged as a result of my suffering. I no longer see the obstacles as things that stand in my way, but rather opportunities for God to reveal Himself to me. Through my faith, I have been set free.

We ALL have those days in life where we lose our perspective. We feel defeated and discouraged. We order fattening cheeseburgers and awkwardly burst into tears. And so God uses His Word and the encouragement of others to get us back on track. To remind us to keep doing the things He has called us to do.

Make your life about giving thanks to God! When thanks to God becomes habit, so joy in God becomes your life.

Blessings,
