Sorry its taken so long to post another update, I’ve just been waiting to share anymore info until a couple things were decided, (which happened today)- Mom just went and got a second opinion today at the Cleveland Clinic, found a much less invasive way for her surgery, so now its scheduled for the 14th of December. She will have 12″ of her colon removed and should be home no later then a week after the surgery

Such a blessing the way that God worked that one out. My sister Anna had her scoliosis surgery there several years ago, so my parents would get regular newsletters from the clinic, which they usually tossed. A couple weeks ago, the Holy Spirit prompted my Mom to open a CC newsletter that she was just going to toss, and lo and behold, right there was an article about a less invasive type of surgery for colon cancer patients.

Please continue to pray that our Lord Jesus would completely heal her of this cancer!  Walking by faith can be so hard yet at the same time, it is so exciting!

Mom

Well, my dear mother was having some issues so her dr. recommended that she get a colonoscopy.  My mom just turned 51 so having one of these procedures is pretty routine for anyone over 50.   They did find a polyp, which they removed.   We didn’t think anything of it as she had some removed when she was younger, (in her 20s).

Wednesday, the dr. called back telling her to come back in with a family member, (usually that means bad news).   My dad took my mom to the dr.  and the dr. informed that the polyp was cancerous with an invasive sort of cancer.   It was devastating news, and I cried most of the day yesterday and prayed very hard.   When I think of cancer I think of the worst case scenerio, which is death.    But God is so good… He has given us all a peace about it.

The next day after the diagnosis, which was last Thursday Mom was able to go in for a ct scan (to determine if the cancer had spread) and when that was over was able to get the results in a matter of hours.  (Another blessing from the Lord- it would have been so hard to wait over the weekend).     It hasn’t spread!  Praise God- we are now praying that nothing more needs to be done, that the cancer was removed in the removal of the polyp, no more surgery, chemo/radiation.

In light of words I’ve been hearing recently coming out of churches, I echo this man’s response… Run, Run from sin, run from anything or anyone that preaches anything contrary to God’s word and the truth of the Gospel- which is Jesus… Christ, crucified, risen and coming again; Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins so we could have eternal life with Him!

5Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 2 Thessalonians 2:5-12

My heart is really aching for our church nowadays, it seems as if Jesus Christ and what He did for us on the cross is being pushed to the side as if it has no importance.   A different gospel is being preached, and souls are being lost.

In truth, Jesus Christ’s sole purpose in coming to earth was to die on the cross for our sins so we could have a way to heaven, so we could have eternal life with Him!      This earthly life is just a blip in time, eternity is what matters.   The only way that we can get to heaven is through Jesus Christ.  Again, I reiterate, there is no other way.   Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to Father but by me!”  He also said to Nicodemus in John 3:3 “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.^a”  (Read the whole chapter for a great reminder of why Jesus came to earth).

There is no way around it, if people don’t come to know Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they are going to die and go to hell for eternity.

This world is hopeless, dying and falling apart, the only hope for it is Jesus Christ.   As believers, we must urgently spread this message at all costs.

I love the beginning of a new day!  Lamentations 3:22-23 says, “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,  for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

Every day is a fresh start with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
